September (12 Days of CHOSEN)

Chosen kicked September off with Family and Friends Day. There were two mid-week refill Bible studies! Our very own, Pastor C, completed the Heart Check Series called, “I Won’t Compromise!” He graced us with a message entitled, “I Changed Clothes; Dress for your Season!”

We were able to have Self-Care Sunday! Taking time to take care of self is something Chosen makes space for!

Bishop Lyons presented the Heart Check Series BUT added some sauce to it. His message entitled, “There must be a match” did not miss! Bishop Lyons started out by explaining to Chosen that a lack of honor is a lack of recognition and how it is important to honor Pastor C and First Lady, Amanda! We were taught how honoring Pastor C, UNLOCKS the supernatural flow in his life. Ways that we can honor Pastor C starts by us doing our part in the Kingdom, dedicating our time and by encouraging OUR Pastor. Bishop Lyons taught us through scripture of how the children of Israel wanted a King even though they did not need a King. Samuel was their leader at the time BUT that was not good enough in their eyes. They wanted a king because it was what other people had at that time. Bishop Lyons stated the children of Israel had a fear of missing out on something they “thought” they needed.

Bishop Lyons message to Chosen was BOLDLY stated….CHOSEN, DON’T FALL FOR THE BAIT….Doing things like other churches is NOT what CHOSEN is called to do! Chosen WILL not look like other churches, Chosen will resemble what GOD called it to resemble….WHY? Because WE are CHOSEN!

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9-10  (NKJV).

WELCOME TO YOUR NAME SAKE CHOSEN!!
 
ON THE SAME NOTE….CHOSEN DON’T CATCH THE BAIT EITHER!

Back to Israel….God was their King and Samual was their leader. Israel only wanted a King because they were in the mindset of: F O M O – Fear of Missing Out. It was made known that Pastor C is doing things the way GOD directs him to do them.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM CHOSEN!!

Chosen, we must not take it personal when we don’t match “THEM”’, look like “THEM”, or act like “THEM.”

BE CHOSEN! CONDUCT YOUSELF LIKE YOU ARE CHOSEN!

REMINDER ------God is Chosen’s King and Pastor C is our Leader!!! God gave Pastor C the mission and vision for the Chosen Church, “To build up a group of Kingdom minded people totally surrendered to God, who impact the community for His glory”....BECAUSE YOU ARE CHOSEN!!
 
God gave the children of Israel their decision to have a king, and that caused them to become misaligned. Chosen, when you are out of alignment with God, your reaction to the trouble will tell the truth! Your reactions will not slay giants, your obedience to God’s  instructions will slay giants! We have to go with God’s decision! Pastor C must to go in the direction that God is leading Chosen….Not the direction of the partners.

CHOSEN…..DON’T GO LOOKING FOR SAUL WHEN GOD GAVE YOU PASTOR C AS YOUR LEADER!

Chosen, our breakthrough will come when WE learn to walk collectively in God’s glory. We must break the sound barrier, get on one accord and ACT like WE are CHOSEN! U.N.I.T.Y

Amos 3:3 How can two walk together unless they are agreed.” There is POWER IN UNITY CHOSEN!! The POWER of CHOSEN is based on the MATCH of the HEART.

QUESTIONS TO PONDER:
• Does your heart match God’s?
• What is your heart matching?
• Are you looking for God’s heart or are you looking for vengeance?
 
NOW IT’S TIME TO SPIN THE BLOCK BACK TO PASTOR C’S HEART CHECK SERIES. Happy Heart Check, “I Won’t Compromise!” sealed the sermon up RESPECTFULLY and PERFECTLY!

Pastor C explained we must grow in GOD first, AND use the tools God gave us to mature us. We have every tool we need to GROW in GOD. We are FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY crafted (BY GOD). Our hearts desires sometimes delay God’s plan for our lives because WE want what WE want…SO, we cannot get mad when WE get what WE get! As I tell my children, you get what you get so don’t throw a fit5020202020Recent
