Intro
Text - John 15.16
Title - A Life Appointed by God
Background
Jesus was speaking to his disciples -
how He chose and appointed them
to go and bear fruit
fruit that will remain (last)
Our text connects us back to the parable mentioned in earlier verses -
the parable of the vine and branches
the vine was Christ Himself, the branches were his disciples
they were to abide in Him so that they will bear fruit - John 15.4-5
the fruit are the things that a disciple may desire and ask of God within this relationship - John 15.7-8
Main Point
The life of a disciple is (1) a life that God has chosen, and (2) a life that God has appointed to go and bear fruit for God’s glory.
My Eulogy
Pastor Nonoy lived the life of a true disciple of the Word.
It was a life that God chose for him to live -
at 10 years old - he already desired the gift of the Holy Spirit
at 13 years old - he was already leading the services as MC/SL
at 15 years old - he was already preaching/teaching God’s word
at 19 years old - he was already doing pioneering work here in San Pedro
at 20 years old - he was already pastor of this church
It was not the easy life -
the first house of worship was a school classroom
I remember eating with them in their house here in Mendoza st.
he was left by many of his friends, loved ones, and church members
he was marked by those who misunderstood his position in the message
It was a life that God has appointed to fruitfulness!
despite the hardships and abandonment -
his sermons touched the hearts of many
his words of advice corrected many lives
his sound teaching edified many believers
his ministry extended beyond the walls of his humble miinistry
his work extended far into the provinces
I remember the first missionary journey we had in Mindanao in 2002
I remember going with him to Culion in Palawan
I remember going with him to Anahawan (2003)
his ministry established many congregations and outreaches
he mentored many pastors and preachers
he was first to teach me to learn to let go -
His life is now finished, but the fruits of his labors will remain!
YOU are the fruit of his God-appointed life
YOU are the men and women he prayed to God for salvation, edification, enlightenment and strength.
His life may be short (58 years) but it was FULL OF FRUITS!
for a man who only had basic education
for a preacher who had no formal training in ministry
HIS LIFE WAS FULL!
My Sermon
As the people of God, we have only kind of life to live - the life that God has appointed for us
your earthly existence was merely a staging point - the means for that life to be expressed
at God’s perfect time the gospel came to our lives -
it ended the old life and ushered in God’s appointed life for each of us!
Our lives were already chosen on our behalf long before we existed!
it was chosen before the foundation of the world
its purpose, goings in and out, and boundaries were already set
Our lives were appointed to bring fruit to God
It does not matter how many things we acquire, how much wealth we gain in this life.
the only thing that matters are the fruit that brings glory to God
Conclusion
What we must learn from Pastor Nonoy’s life -
whether your days are short or long - make your life fruitful!
the longest lives are not always the most fruitful -
some want to live just so they can enjoy the pleasure of life
the most fruitful are those who who know how to MAKE THE MOST OF LIFE Eph 5:15
