For the divine service, the Lead Apostle took a text word from Romans 6:22 ”But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. “
In his message, the Lead Apostle said: We have chosen to be slaves of Christ.
He said: Being a slave is not a pleasant experience, a slave is a prisoner of his master and in most cases a slave is forced to obey and work for nothing in return. He went on to explain that for us according to Apostle Paul, we were slaves of sin our lord Jesus gave His life to buy us. Aware of this grace by our lord Jesus Christ, we show our thankfulness by putting ourselves to His service. This choice to serve is motivated by gratitude for God's love and sacrifice, particularly the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
A slave belongs to his master and must be submissive to him, we belong to our master Jesus Christ and we must be submissive to Him. Our submission is to help us achieve a perfect fellowship with God in His kingdom, it involves striving to understand and fulfill God's will as reveal in the Bible and through the Apostle's teachings. We do Gods will by choice and not by obligation or fear of punishment. We have decided to obey and serve him and this heart disposition allows the holy spirit to sanctify us wholly … And here, we will bear the fruits of the spirit and become more like our lord Jesus Christ. This spiritual transformation needs to be felt in our thoughts, words and actions he concluded.
In this divine service, 18 souls were sealed.
