WE WILL SERVE THE LORD
TODAY’S TOPIC: GOD’S COVENANT WITH NOAH
TEXT:
GENESIS CHAPTER NINE (9)
INTRODUCTION:
Noah and his family were the only people left after the
flood. The comforts of civilization had been washed away.
They had to start all over again. God gave Noah his special
blessing and instituted a plan that, if followed, would result
in a healthy society. God has given us His word, which
contains the ultimate blueprint for healthy living.
DISCUSSION GUIDE:
1a.
Explain the word ―Covenant‖.
b.
What covenant did God made with Noah?
c.
What is the sign of God‘s covenant to Noah?
2.
Compare the commands God gave to Noah in
Genesis 9:4-5 with Genesis 1:28. What can you say
about the outcome of God‘s command to Adam and
Noah?
3.
Identify two(2) warnings God gave to Noah in
order to be a covenant keeper.
4.
What is a thing that God prohibits for Noah?
5(i)
(ii)
Mention the three(3) sons of Noah.
Which one of the sons was cursed by Noah and
what was his offence?
6.
What are the lessons to be learnt about God the
Father in the passage?
7.
Highlights the blessings God pronounced upon the
family of Noah.

HOME FELLOWSHIP OUTLINE
VOL. 10 NO. 38/2014
CONCLUSION
God assigned Noah the monumental task of rebuilidin
human society on earth. But God didn‘t just hand Noah the
task and walk away. As w e see in this passage, God gave
Noah hope and set a rainbow in the sky as a seal of His
promise. As we are rebuilding our lives in keeping with
God‘s design, we can be sure that God will support us with
His presence and promises. And we should keep an eye out
for the ―rainbows‖ along the way. God often leaves us signs
to remind us of His loving presence and care.
MEMORY VERSE
―Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow
appears in the clouds. I will remember my covenant
between me and you and all living creatures of every kind.
Never again will the water become flood to destroy all life‖
GENESIS 9:14-15

5. THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
SERMON FOR SUNDAY – 05th OCTOBER, 2014
TODAY’S TOPIC: DIVINE AND HUMAN LOVE
CONTRASTED
READINGS: PSALM 63; 1 JOHN4:18:5:5;
MATTHEW 22:34-40
It is another wonderful privilege to be alive and to be in the
fellowship of the people of the Living God. With this heart of
gratitude to God we welcome all worshippers to the sanctuary
of the Most High God. We pray that your coming to the house
of God today will bring about a divine turnaround in your life
in Jesus name. This last quarter of the year 2014 will bring to
realization the purpose of God and his promises in our lives in
Jesus name. We congratulate the members of Vining
Intercessors and Band of Faith Family for their anniversaries
today. May the Almighty God continue to find you all useful in
fulfillment of his divine agenda
The topic for our meditation this week is “Divine and Human
Love Contrasted”
In Romans 5:7-8 we read ―For scarcely for a righteous man
will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even
dare to die.…‖ this is a quality of divine love.
If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a
liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen,
how can he love God whom he has not seen?‖ (1 John 4:17-20)
There are two different levels that love operates.
I. THE LOVE OF MAN TO HIS FELLOW CREATURES
(ver. 7). You may find in history generosity and gratitude
manifested by the greatest of all sacrifices — that of life. But
such instances are rare. We read of dangers encountered,
sufferings endured, for the purpose of rescuing others from
destruction; but seldom of devotion to death, in order to deliver
5.
a fellow mortal from the heaviest calamity, or to procure for
him the most precious privilege. When such an instance has
occurred it has been uniformly a tribute paid to distinguished
excellence, or an acknowledgment of obligations too strong
and sacred to be fulfilled by a less noble or costly recompense.
1. Suppose an individual distinguished for honour and
integrity, who had exerted himself on all occasions to maintain
the rights, and redress the wrongs of others, whose righteous
deportment, fidelity, and defence of truth had rendered him the
object of profound and universal veneration; suppose that such
a person, by the decree of despotism, were doomed to expiate
an imaginary crime on an ignominious scaffold, would you
step forward to save his life by the sacrifice of your own? No;
nor can we imagine anyone doing it.
2. But, supposing that to righteousness we add benevolence —
all that is melting in tenderness, winning in compassion, godlike in beneficence, would there be any among those to whom
such characters are dearest, or any, even of those who had
shared his kindness, that would agree to be his substitute? Yes;
you may conceive such cases to occur. Still, however, the
apostle speaks correctly; it is only "some" who would thus die
for a good man — that, even for this act of chivalry "daring"
would be required — and that after all, the fact must be
qualified with a "peradventure." To the statement of the apostle
we may add that of our Lord, that "greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends:" This is
the utmost limit to which human affection can go. And this
may be still more readily admitted, if we consider friendship as
comprehending those relationships which, binding husband and
wife, parent and child, brother and sister, by a thousand
endearments, instinctively prompt to efforts and endurances,
from whose ample range even the terrors of death are not
excluded.
3. But supposing a person iniquitous and hostile, condemned to
die for his iniquity and rebellion, and under his sentence,
cherished as bitter an enmity against his benefactor as he had
ever done before, would that benefactor consent to suffer his
judicial fate, in order to send him back again to the life and
liberty he had so justly forfeited? Ah! no; that is a height of
love which humanity has never reached, and of which
humanity is utterly incapable. And were it ever to occur, we
should be compelled to rank it amongst the greatest miracles.
C. Elderly Ministry

House by 6.00p.m.
ii.
Home Fellowships:
Since when have you attended the Home Fellowship nearest
to you? If you are not attending, you are not building up
yourself spiritually and you are not building up the Body of
Christ. All Parishioners and their friends are encouraged to
attend a Home Fellowship of their Choice and convenience
near their homes or work places. Please check the list of
Home Fellowship Centres pasted on the Notice Board in
front of the Church or contact: 08033100270, or the Church
Office.
iii.
Visitation:
The work is on for the Church to visit you at home. It is not that you
are sick or involved in any mishap but being a member, some
representatives of the Church will visit and fellowship with you. It
costs you nothing. We only want you to know that we love you.
Please allow them in when they come. You will be able to identify
them. Volunteers can be young people who want to be Elderly
Friendly, or adults who want to share love with people as Jesus
commands us. We shall appreciate Volunteers who believe God is
calling them to these duties. Do you know any Parishioner who
needs to be visited by the Church? Please send the name and
address to the Evangelical Ministry for a follow-up. Especially
during this period, we need to spread love through Visitations.
E. Counseling Ministry
Please take advantage of the Cathedral Counselling Ministry. It
involves every aspect of Human Endeavour, which includes but
is not limited to Marriage, Business, and Career. We have a
monthly Family Evening where we bring the current needs of
Families into focus. Please let the Cathedral know your needs
and be assured that there are people that will assist.
If you wish to talk to somebody for Counselling, please call:
08023078162, available on 24 hour basis.
F. Prisons & Hospital Ministry
II. THE LOVE OF GOD TO MAN is illustrated by two
circumstances.
1. "Christ died for us." The apostle could not speak of God
dying for us, for death cannot possibly be predicted of Him
who "alone hath immortality." We must remember, therefore,
who Christ was, as well as what He did. But in viewing His
death as a manifestation of Divine love, we must recollect the
connection which God had with it. The scheme, of which it
formed the leading feature and the essential principle, was
altogether of His appointment (John 3:16). And while God was
thus so gracious, it becomes us to think of the relation in which
Christ stood to Him. Christ was not the creature, nor the mere
servant of God, but "His only begotten and well beloved Son,
6.
“I was sick and you visited Me, I was in Prison and you
came to Me” (Matt. 25:36). Join us, you are invited. Our
activities include:- (a) Hospital Visitation every 3rd and last
Sundays of the month. (b) Prison visitation every 2 nd Thursday
of the month (c) Meeting comes up every 2nd Sunday of the
month after 10.00a.m Service at the Church gallery. For more
information, call (08033136370 and 08036695837).
G. Intercessory Ministry

spiritual support and prayers etc after 7.00a.m Midweek
Communion service. Please avail yourself of the services of

A.
Children Ministry
the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His
person." Yet God did "not spare Him."
2. But the principal evidence of God's love is that Christ died
for us, "while we were yet sinners." Had man been such as that
the eye of God could have looked on him with complacency, or
having fallen, had the feelings of penitence pervaded his heart,
and made him willing to return, we should not have been
amazed at God's condescending love. But the marvel lies in
this, that there was no good whatever to attract the regards of a
holy being, and to invite a willing interposition of His
benevolence. On the contrary, there was worthlessness and
guilt to such a degree as to provoke a just indignation, to
warrant an utter exclusion from happiness and hope. We were
"yet sinners" when Christ died for us. There are resources in
the eternal mind which are equally beyond our reach and our
comprehension. There is a power, a magnitude, and a richness
in the love of God towards those upon whom it is set which, to
the experience of the creature, presents a theme of wondering
gratitude and praise. Man loves his fellows; but he never did,
and never can love them like God. Had He only loved us as
man loves, there would have been no salvation, no heaven, no
glad tidings to cheer our hearts. But behold! God is love itself.
Guilt, which forbids and represses man's love, awakens, and
kindles, and secures God's. Death for the guilty is too wide a
gulf for man's love to pass over. God's love to the guilty is
infinitely "stronger than death." God forgives, where man
would condemn and punish. God saves, where man would
destroy. "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways My ways." "Herein is love," etc. In contrast the human
love which is natural cannot be compared with the divine love
which is from God. This is what the Bible calls ―agape‖.
Natural love is selfish. Divine love is giving, unselfish. Natural
love can turn to hatred when it doesn‘t get its way. Divine love,
when it is reviled [treated hatefully], reviles not again. God‘s
divine love is not interested in what it can get but in what it can
give. After our new spiritual birth, it is natural for divine love to
flow through us and dominate how we live our lives.
As husbands and wives, God‘s divine love must dominate us, not
natural love, for it is too shallow. Not only can we love our spouse
with natural affection, but with divine love that seeks other‘s
welfare, and never seeks its own. Reciprocate in always putting
each other first and outdoing one another in love.
Parents are requested to send their children to the Sunday School
with Bibles, Note Books & Biros. Please instruct your children to
remain in the Sunday School and not wander about looking for
things to buy. They gain more when they are made to understand
the Bible in an environment best suited to their ages and what they
are familiar with.
Love is patient and kind; sometimes we endure a situation but we
are not kind about it. It is the flesh that is haughty, rude, boastful,
arrogant, conceited or unmannerly.

YEAR THEME: “DIVINE SPEED”
―Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have
boldness in the Day of Judgment; because as He is, so are we in
this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear,
because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been
made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. If
someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar;
for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how
can he love God whom he has not seen?” (1 John 4:17-20)
