TOPIC: YOU ARE SPECIAL
TEXT: GENESIS 1:26-31
27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Key Verse: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:27).
MESSAGE:
On the sixth day of creation, God made Adam. He did not make him the way He did with His other creations like trees, flowers, and many kinds of animals, He made him in a special way. God made Adam in His own image. He breathed into him His own breath, and Adam became a living being.
To show that Adam was special, He made him to have dominion and rule over all other creatures. It is wonderful to know that of all the living and non-living things God created, only Adam was made in His image. He could talk to God, be creative, love and feel the need to be loved.
You are the offspring of Adam, you are specially made too. When God made you, He placed His Spirit inside you so that you will live for ever and ever. God has made everything beautiful You are part of God’s beautiful creation. This is the reason you must always remember that God made you for a special purpose. He desires that you know Him, do His will, serve Him faithfully, and at the end live with Him in heaven forever.
If you want His purpose fulfilled in your life, talk to Him now. Whenever you pray, your spirit reaches out to God, which makes Him very happy. Animals and other things cannot do that because they do not have a spirit. It is the Spirit of God in you that makes you so special.
Prayer: Lord, I thank You because I am special, help me to fulfil your purpose for my life.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
