Then, for no, 4, op as a christian, you know that God is not an author of confusion.... |

Without my being blest? MEMORY VERSE: "A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.” – Acts 10:2 BIBLE PASSAGE: Acts 10:1-6 Acts:10.1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, Acts:10.2 a devout [man] and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. Acts:10.3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius!" Acts:10.4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it, lord?" So he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. Acts:10.5 "Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. Acts:10.6 "He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do." INTRODUCTION: Cornelius was a Roman centurion, of the band called the Italian band (Acts 10:1), stationed at Caesarea in Palestine. He was supposed to have been of a distinguished family in Rome. Cornelius had evidently been led by the Holy Spirit to renounce idolatry, to worship the true God, and to lead a devout and beneficent life. He was prepared to receive the Savior, and God did not fail to reveal Himself. Cornelius was miraculously directed to send for Peter, who was also miraculously prepared to attend the summons. He was also ‘’the first gentile convert’’, and the story of his reception of the gospel shows how God broke down the partition-wall between Jews and Gentiles. LESSON OUTLINES 1. Character and achievements 2. Lessons from his life CHARACTER AND ACHIEVEMENTS Cornelius was a devout man who feared God of Israel (Acts 10:2a). He was generous and charitable. He gave money to the poor (Acts 10:2b). He prayed to God constantly (Acts 10:2c). An angel appeared to him in a vision (Acts 10:3) and told him that his prayers and his gifts to the poor had come up before God as a memorial (Acts 10:4). The angel also instructed him to send to Joppa for Simon (Peter) who would tell him words by which he and his household would be saved (Acts 11:14). Cornelius called his relatives and close friends to gather with his household so they might also hear what Peter would say (Acts 10:24). While Peter was talking to Cornelius and the others, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word (Acts 10:44). Cornelius and those with him were the first Gentiles, non-Jewish, converts. Their conversion was evidence that God had ‘’also granted to the Gentile repentance unto life’’ (Acts 11:18). They were baptised in water and admitted into the Christian church (Acts 10:44-48). LESSONS FROM HIS LIFE 1. If you seek God diligently, you will surely find Him (Acts 10:30, Acts 17:27, Deuteronomy 4:29). 2. Generous giving to the needy and constant prayers can reach the throne of God Himself (Acts 10:4) 3. Although Cornelius, and undoubtedly many in his household and among the relatives and close friends, was religious, he still needed to be saved-born again (John 3:3- .4. The gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone (Acts 10:34-35). 5. Try to make certain all your household, relatives and close friends hear the words of the gospel and know what they must do to be saved. CONCLUSION The heart of Cornelius was drawn towards godliness and God arranged for his salvation. He carried everyone around him along and God touched them all. QUESTIONS: 1. Describe the character and achievements of Cornelius. 2. What lesson can we learn from the life of CCORNELIUS |

Without my being blest? MEMORY VERSE: ‘’And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour" - Judges 6:12 BIBLE PASSAGE: Judges 6:11-16 Judges:6.11 Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree which [was] in Ophrah, which [belonged] to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide [it] from the Midianites. Judges:6.12 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, "The LORD [is] with you, you mighty man of valor!" Judges:6.13 Gideon said to Him, "O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where [are] all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, 'Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites." Judges:6.14 Then the LORD turned to him and said, "Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?" Judges:6.15 So he said to Him, "O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan [is] the weakest in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in my father's house." Judges:6.16 And the LORD said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man." INTRODUCTION: Gideon, also called Jerubbaal (Judges 6:29,32), was of the tribe of Manasseh. He was the son of Joash, of the family of Abiezer (Judges 6:11). He was a valiant and prudent judge of Israel, particularly the eastern and northern tribes, (B. C. 1249 to 1209). He resided in Ophrah, east of the Jordan, a region often ravanged in harvest-time by the wandering tribes on its eastern border. Being called of God to deliver his people, and encouraged by signs from Heaven, he defeated the Midiantites, and caused Israel to dwell in safety for many years. Gideon had many wives and seventy sons (Judges 8:30). He also had a son named Abimelech by a concubine in Shechem (Judges 8:31). Died in "a good old age, and was buried in the sepulcher of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites" (Judges 8:32). LESSON OUTLINES 1. Character and achievements 2. Lessons from his life CHARACTER AND ACHIEVEMENT Gideon was a humble man who did not believe he was capable of saving Israel because his family was poor and he was the least in his father's house (Judges 6:15). An angel of the LORD appeared to him and delivered God's commission to him - he was a "mighty man of valour; God was with him, and would "save Israel". (Judges 6:12,14). Gideon as reluctant to believe that God would be with him and asked for a sign, which God gave (Judges 6:16-24). Gideon gathered an army of 22,000 men to fight the Midianites, but God cut it to 300 so all would know that it was God that won the battle (Judges 7:2-4). LESSONS FROM HIS LIFE 1. Christians must always be ready. God may call you at any time to accomplish His purpose (Isaiah 6: .2. You must always remember that God "gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6). 3. God gives us the power to do whatever He tells us to do, no matter how difficult it may seem to be (Philippians 2:13; 3:14). 4. Courage in the face of adversity can accomplish great things (Deuteronomy 31:6). 5. Victory over the battles of life is not achieved through human ability but through divine interventions (Zechariah 4:6; Exodus 14:13-14; 2Chronicles 20:17). CONCLUSION: Often times, when God wants to accomplish a great task, He does not call the qualified but qualifies the called. QUESTIONS 1. Identify the character of the man, Gideon. 2. What are the lessons to learn from the life of Gideon? |

� *RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL* � STUDENT'S MANUAL LESSON THIRTY-SIX _SUNDAY, 6TH MAY 2018_ *TOPIC: NEHEMIAH* *MEMORY VERSE:* _"’Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deedd that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof"_ - Nehemiah 13:14 *BIBLE PASSAGE: Nehemiah 2:1-8* 1 And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, [when] wine [was] before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before. 2 Therefore the king said to me, "Why [is] your face sad, since you [are] not sick? This [is] nothing but sorrow of heart." So I became dreadfully afraid, .3. and said to the king, "May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, [lies] waste, and its gates are burned with fire?" 4 Then the king said to me, "What do you request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it." 6 Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), "How long will your journey be? And when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. .7 Furthermore I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors [of the region] beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah, 8 "and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which [pertains] to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy." And the king granted [them] to me according to the good hand of my God upon me. *INTRODUCTION:* Nehemiah, the son of Hachaliah, was born in Babylon during the captivity (Nehamiah 1:1). He was, according to some, of the race of the priests; according to others, of the royal family of Judah and apparently a stepson of Queen Esther. He sustained the office of cupbearer to the Persian king Artazerzes Longimanus. Touched with the calamitous state of the colony of Jews, which had formerly returned to Jerusalem, he besought the king of Persia to permit him to go to Jerusalem and aid in rebuilding it. He directed his attention chiefly to rebuilding the walls of the city. He remained in Judea for thirteen years as governor, carrying out many reforms, notwithstanding much opposition that he encountered (Nehemiah 13:11). Probably, he remained at his post as Governor till his death (about B.C.413) in a good old age. *LESSON OUTLINES* 1. Character and achievements 2. Lessons from his life *CHARACTER. AND ACHIEVEMENTS* Nehemiah was a man of prayer, patriotism, action, bravery and constancy. He always viewed prayer as a first action rather than a last resort (Nehemiah 1:4-11, 2:4, 4:4-5,9). He was persistent, with great faith in God and His ability to do anything he was asked (Philippians 3:14). He went to Jerusalem where the city wall was broken down, and with a single minded purpose persevered until the wall of Jerusalem was rebuilt (Nehemiah 6:15). The rebuilding of the wall enabled Jerusalem to become a fortified city once again, nearly a century and a half after its destruction in 586BC. After the wall was rebuilt, Nehemiah and Ezra called the people to prayer and the public reading of the law (Nehemiah 8:1-3, .He was one of the first to sign his name to a covenant agreement among the people regarding walking in God's law (Nehemiah 9:38). He wrote the book of Nehemiah (430-431 BC). *LESSONS FROM HIS LIFE* 1. Prayer should always precede any endeavour (James 5:17-18). 2. God is always willing to help (Psalm 46:1). 3. Persistence combined with faith can accomplish great things. Jesus Himself exhorted persistency with His parable of the persistent widow and the judge (Luke 18:1- .4. Be single-minded in all that you do for God, and in all that you desire from God (Luke 9:62, James 1:5- .5. God remembers and rewards good work (Nehemiah 13:14, 1Corinthians 15:58, Revelations 22:11-12). *CONCLUSION:* Nehemiah had an unrelenting zeal to rebuild the broken wall of Jerusalem. In spite of the opposition from Sanballat and others, he achieved his goal. What passion do you have for the things of God? *QUESTIONS* 1. Desrcibe the man, Nehemiah. 2. What lesson can you learn from his life-style? |

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENT'S MANUAL LESSON THIRTY-FIVE SUNDAY, 29TH APRIL 2018 TOPIC: A SCRIPTURAL APPROACH TO FAMILY PLANNING *SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN* *1.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, O how I love Thee well, I am happy, it makes me glad To rejoice at Thy birth. *2.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, Thy friendship suits me well, Both young and old will sing Thy song, We long for Sunday School. *3.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, Christ was Thy first teacher, The Holy Spirit, great teacher, Does manifest in thee. *4.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, This testimony is sure, That God, the Father Almighty, Poured His blessing on Thee. *5.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, Though the sun be so bright, Or if the clouds black with rain, I'll be in Sunday School. *6.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, I rejoice to see Thee, Will thou pass over me today? Without my being blest? MEMORY VERSE: ‘’Lo children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward" - Psalm 127:3 BIBLE PASSAGE: Psalm 127:3-5 Psalm:127.3 Behold, children [are] a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb [is] a reward. Psalm:127.4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So [are] the children of one's youth. Psalm:127.5 Happy [is] the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate. INTRODUCTION: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "Family planning allows individuals and couples to anticipate and attain their desired number of children and the spacing and timing of their births. It is achieved through use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of involuntary infertility". It is important to examine God's plan for the institution called "family" and to understand the reasons for us to also plan our families. LESSON OUTLINES 1. The biblical view 2. Reasons for family planning THE BIBLICAL VIEW The biblical view on family planning can be traced to the importance that God places on fruitfulness and child bearing. These include the fact that: 1. God's command is that we should be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). 2. Children are great blessings from God (Psalm 127:3). 3. Children are weapons of defense (Psalm 127:4). 4. Children are ones pride and joy (Psalm 127:5; Proverbs 27:11). 5. God cherishes children as tools for propagating His kingdom (Mark 10:14-16). However, God's plan of fruitfulness and multiplication does not call for the suffering or neglect of any child in this world (Jeremiah 29:11). REASONS FOR FAMILY PLANNING God has given man the grace for increase and procreation. However, wisdom demands that man should consider the need to cater for the children God gives which must include provision of food, shelter, education, etc. The reasons for birth control may differ from one family to another. These include: 1. Priorities and Necessities: This is to meet other pressing needs such as shelter, career, education, economy, etc (Proverbs 16:9). 2. Resources: Adequate provision is needed for every child. It is a sin to raise children you cannot cater for (1Timothy 5: .3. Health, especially of the mother: If and when the life of the mother is at risk, birth control should be considered (Ephesians 5:28-29). 4. Pleasure: This may be to give room for marital/sexual intimacy (1Corinthians 7:3-5). 5. Government policy: Many nations have policy on the acceptable number of children for each family in order to regulate their population. If believers in the Christian family have reasons for family planning, they should consult with the appropriate professionals in that field for proper counseling and recommendations. CONCLUSION: God's plan for man is to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). However, we must be wise and ensure that we raise children that we can cater for (Proverbs 4:7; Ecclesiastes 10:10b). QUESTIONS 1. What are the biblical views on family planning? 2. Mention five reasons given for birth control. |

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENT'S MANUAL LESSON THIRTY-FOUR SUNDAY, 22ND APRIL 2018 TOPIC: CHILD ABUSE *SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN* *1.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, O how I love Thee well, I am happy, it makes me glad To rejoice at Thy birth. *2.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, Thy friendship suits me well, Both young and old will sing Thy song, We long for Sunday School. *3.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, Christ was Thy first teacher, The Holy Spirit, great teacher, Does manifest in thee. *4.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, This testimony is sure, That God, the Father Almighty, Poured His blessing on Thee. *5.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, Though the sun be so bright, Or if the clouds black with rain, I'll be in Sunday School. *6.* O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, I rejoice to see Thee, Will thou pass over me today? Without my being blest? MEMORY VERSE: ‘’But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." - Matthew 18:6 BIBLE PASSAGE: Mark 10:13-16 Mark:10.13 Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought [them.] Mark:10.14 But when Jesus saw [it,] He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Mark:10.15 "Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." Mark:10.16 And He took them up in His arms, put [His] hands on them, and blessed them. INTRODUCTION: According to the Merriam Webster's dictionary, a child is "a young person especially between infancy and youth". Child abuse is any maltreatment of a child which causes him/her harm. Such action can also take the form of a child neglect or failure to protect a child from danger especially by a parent or other care-giver. The Bible does not use the word abuse but tells us that whosoever harms a child is asking for God's anger (Mark 9:42). LESSON OUTLINES 1. Forms of child abuse 2. Signs and prevention of child abuse FORMS OF CHILD ABUSE Basically, child abuse can be physical, sexual or emotional. PHYSICAL ABUSE: Can be excessive beating of a child especially one that leaves him/her with marks, throwing objects, poisoning, child labour (trafficking, hawking), neglecting to give the child basic necessities of life such as food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, etc. It also includes use of drugs, alcohol or any substance that will cause the child distress (1Kings 3:19, 25-26; Mark 9:42). SEXUAL ABUSE: This is when any person engages a child in any sexual activity such as handling a child's sexual organs, engaging the child in any immoral activity e.g. pornography, rape, defilement of the child, etc. (2Samuel 13:10-15). EMOTIONAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE: Includes teasing, bullying, threatening, verbal abuse (such as cursing, belittling, constantly finding fault), etc. (1Samuel 17:26-28; Colossians 3:21). SIGNS AND PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE These are some of the signs that a child is being abused: aggressive behaviour, low self-esteem, sleeping difficulties, unexplained bruises, burns or swellings, lack of concentration and criminal inclinations. Child abuse may eventually lead to deformation or death. Prevention of child abuse may take the following forms: 1. Early education, identification and intervention. 2. Break the silence, report any abuse. 3. Train a child in a godly way (Proverbs 22:6). 4. It is not every wrong that should be met with capital punishment. CONCLUSION: Child abuse is a menace that must be dealt with holistically in the fear of God. Children are precious to God and must be well taken care of (Psalm 127:3). QUESTIONS 1. Mention three forms of child abuse. 2. State at least two ways of preventing child abuse. |
