TOPIC: Behold All Souls Are Mine (scroll down for RCCG House Fellowship 8 September 2019 Anthem)
PRAYER POINT: Pray that God will grant you the grace to hold to your salvation to the end. (RCCG House Fellowship 8 September 2019)
BIBLE PASSAGE: Ezekiel 18:4, 20-32; Jonah 3:1-10
Ezekiel 18:4;
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Ezekiel 18:20-32;
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
Jonah 3:1-10;
1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
INTRODUCTION: God is the creator of all things and there is nothing that is in the possession of man that was not given by God. No one can ever take the glory of the power of creation. The Almighty God is the legitimate owner of all souls and this statement cannot be challenged by anyone not even the devil. Genesis 1:27; Gen. 2:7
MEMORY VERSE: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? – Ezekiel 18:23
TEXT REVIEW: Ezekiel 18:4, 20-32; Jonah 3:1-10
Never be deceived at any time someone is sufficient on his own. No man came to existence by himself. No man is self sufficient.
i. Every Soul belongs to God.
ii. There is standing judgement for any soul that sins.
iii. If a man should come to repentance such will be saved.
iv. If a man comes to repentance, his transgression shall be remembered no more.
v. God has never become an envy of man, he never rejoices at man’s fallen state.
vi. God is never partial though He has favourites.
LESSON OUTLINE
God’s Declaration is Informative to Satan and Man
1. Satan did not create man nor was he the one that made man a living soul. Genesis 2:7.
2. The devil is all out to destroy mab because he is not the owner of souls but a deceiver, killer and destroyer. John 10:10a; 1 Kings 3:16-27.
3. God has given you the right to choose who you want to serve and consequently where your soul would spend it’s eternity. Joshua 24:15.
God has no pleasure in the death of a Sinner “Ezekiel 18:23”
1. God is merciful and ready to forgive His prodigal children that are truly repentant. Ezekiel 18:27-28; Luke 15:7
2. It pains God when souls are lost to hell without repentance from their sins. Ezekiel 18:23;32
3. It pains Him more if they have not been privileged to hear the Gospel. Mark 13:10.
4. He exercises long patience hoping that the sinner would repent and come back to Him. 2 Peter 3:9; Ezekiel 18:30.
5. Although all souls are God’s but only those that do His will shall reign with Him in Paradise while the disobedient souls shall spend their eternity in hell with the Devil. Matthew 25:31-46.
SUMMARY: It is God’s ultimate desire that every soul He created come to repentance.
CONCLUSION: God is tour creator, serve Him with all your heart. He has the best plans for you in life. Jeremiah 29:11; John 10:10a; Philippians 2:12. Do not allow the devil through sin to destroy or cancel God’s plan in your life. Proverbs 11:21; Ezekiel 18:4 “……….. the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
ASSIGNMENT: Commit your life to God more than before knowing that He legitimately owns it.
