Title: Fearfully And Wonderfully Made
Memorize: Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Genesis 1:26 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading (Nkjv): Genesis 1:24-31
[24] Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.
[25] And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
[26] Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
[27] So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
[28] Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
[29] And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.
[30] Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so.
[31] Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Message:
It is unfortunate that the 21st century Church is guilty of exercising unlimited freedom, acting as though Jesus Christ has saved us into lawlessness and unguided freedom. When God created the world, His assessment was, *”Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”* (Genesis 1:31). My dear child, you must be careful not to be pressured into becoming what God didn’t make you. Adding a few colors to your face, eyelashes, wearing dripping lipsticks, using artificial bums and breasts, et cetera, are parts of satan’s schemes to lure men and women into sexual perversion that will take them to hell. Don’t be an agent, and don’t fall for his schemes.
The term transgender is becoming acceptable: boys want to look like girls, and girls want to become boys. Many people are gradually falling short of God’s perfection by recreating themselves through artificial aesthetics that have brought about sexual perversions. How do you explain a 70-year-old woman being recreated by a few brushes to look like a 25-year-old? I pray that the Lord will help you in Jesus’ name.
Key Point:
Even as the Church has become tolerant of some things, the standard of God remains unchanged. God created you beautifully, period!
HYMN 19: JESUS LOVES ME! THIS I KNOW
1. Jesus loves me! this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.
CHORUS
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.
2. Jesus loves me He who died,
Heaven’s gate to open wide,
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
3. Jesus loves me, loves me still,
Tho’ I’m very weak and ill
From His shining throne on high
He will watch me where I lie.
4. Jesus loves me He will stay
Close beside me all the way,
If I love Him when I die
He will take me home on high.
