Christianity EtcRccg House Fellowship Manual(sunday 8th April, 2018) Resurrection by 4reala(op): 2:35pm On Apr 08, 2018
RCCG HOUSE FELLOWSHIP MANUAL
Sunday 8th April, 2018
TOPIC:- RESURRECTION
MEMORY VERSE:
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25
Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-23
INTRODUCTION:-
Resurrection is the precursory event or forerunner to the rapture of the saints. Many believers confuse reincarnation with resurrection. In our study today, we will discuss basic differences between the two and what Jesus, Himself, said about resurrection.
The Bible teaches resurrection not reincarnation
• The Bible teaches that man is a spirit Gen. 1:27, John 4:24. He possesses a soul Gen. 2:7, Lev. 17:11. And he lives in a body – the incarnation Gen. 2:7, John 1:1 & 14, 1 Thess. 5:23.
• Reincarnation teaches that man lives several lives in different bodies. A man in his reincarnations can be a woman, an animal, a fish or even a plant.
• Resurrection teaches that man has only one body from birth to eternity. At the resurrection to life everlasting, that same body will be glorified when we will be clothed with immortality. 1 Cor. 15:42-44, 53-54.
• Resurrection teaches that God’s dealing with man is based on just one life in his body while on earth; not different lives lived in different bodies.
• Reincarnation teaches that man dies several times and still has several chances to come back in another body to do what is right, but resurrection teaches that man dies but once. Heb. 9:27.
• Reincarnation teaches that the life we now live is merely a continuation from where we stopped in a former life, while resurrection teaches that when we die; we face an initial judgment that decides our eternal destination: heaven or hell Heb. 9:27; Luke 16:22-23.
What Did Jesus Tell Martha About Resurrection (John 11:24-25)?
When Jesus came to resurrect Lazarus to life, Martha told Him that Lazarus’s resurrection can only happen at the rapture; meaning that they were not believers of reincarnation, but of resurrection. Then, said Jesus: I am the resurrection and the life. What does this mean?
• Recurrection is not a day, but a person. Resurrection does not happen because a day comes, but because a person is present. If we do not treat Jesus the right way here, there is no hope for us on the resurrection day. 1 Thess. 4:16-17.
• It is a present resurrection that gives birth to a future resurrection- at the rapture. The present resurrection is being called to be born again. That is when Jesus comes into your life and brings your dead spirit back to life. Eph. 2:1; 2Corinthians 5:17.
CONCLUSION:-
A day does not resurrect, but a person – Jesus does. If Jesus is not in you now, do not expect to be resurrected to life at the rapture because He is not coming back for you.

MEMORY VERSE: ‘’But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery" - Matthew 5:32

BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 19:3-13
Matthew:19.3
The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for [just] any reason?"
Matthew:19.4
And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made [them] at the beginning 'made them male and female,'
Matthew:19.5
"and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
Matthew:19.6
"So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
Matthew:19.7
They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"
Matthew:19.8
He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
Matthew:19.9
"And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."
Matthew:19.10
His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with [his] wife, it is better not to marry."
Matthew:19.11
But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but only [those] to whom it has been given:
Matthew:19.12
"For there are eunuchs who were born thus from [their] mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept [it,] let him accept [it."]
Matthew:19.13
Then little children were brought to Him that He might put [His] hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

INTRODUCTION:
Divorce is one of the major problems facing homes today. Divorce is granted to the unbelievers for many reasons such as adultery, cruelty, desertion, drunkenness, neglect to provide, conviction of crime, separation, bigamy, incompatibility etc. However, is divorce permissible for Christians? Let us approach this lesson by attempting to answer a number of questions.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. Some common questions and answers
2. Counsel for partners in a shaky marriage

SOME COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. Is there any scriptural ground for divorce?
There is one and only one reason and that is fornication (Matthew 19:9). What does the word "fornication" mean in this passage? The basic meaning is illicit sexual relationship with a third party. However, the "innocent partner" should be ready to forgive the "guilty partner" (Matthew 6:14-15, Proverbs 28:13). Divorce was not in the original plan of God for human beings.
2. How long is a marriage contract?
The answer is simply, until death breaks it (Matthew 19:6). In marriage, God performs a miracle when two individuals become one person. Only God is permitted to break that union by taking one of the partners in death.
3. Can the 'innocent partner' in a divorce re-marry?
It is doubtful if there is such a thing as an innocent partner in the sight of God. It is most likely that the "innocent" partner failed in some ways.
4. Why should people avoid divorce like a plague?
(a). Divorce represents a tragedy that has undermined the home, the very basis of society.
(b). Misery always follows in its path, broken homes, bruised and broken hearts, bewildered, homeless children, delinquent youth, loneliness, tears and at times suicide or insanity.
(c). The couple should consider the welfare of the children who would suffer most and the shame connected with divorce and the scandal that it engenders.
(d). Many Christians look at divorce as sinful, regardless of the circumstances because it is a public admission of utter failure which belittles the power of Christ (Philippians 4:13).
(e). Economic disaster often follows divorce and it is the cause of lack of love and happiness in marriage.

COUNSEL FOR PARTNERS IN A SHAKY MARRIAGE
Let both husbands and wives solemnly renew their vow "for better or for worse till death do us part". Let each get right with the Lord and then with one another. Confession and repentance with mutual sharing would make any marriage a success. Let them spend time in prayer individually and as a couple (James 5:6). Let the husband be the actual head of the home and not merely a figurehead (1Timothy 5:cool. Let the wives be subject to their husbands (Ephesians 5:24). Let husbands and wives continually woo each other because each needs a great deal of affection. Married couples should continuously ask God for a holy love for each other (1Corinthians 7:5).

CONCLUSION:
Can there be love when there is no respect? The answer is yes, for God loves the unlovely sinner, whom He cannot respect. Love that is unselfish and godly can be deep and powerful even with those whom we cannot respect. With such a love, our marriages would last for life (1Peter 4:cool. Let us pray for such divine love.

QUESTIONS
1. What is the scriptural ground for divorce?
2. Why should people avoid divorce?

silverr:
It appears he goes about targeting well to do single ladies on facebook. He approached my friend and began to tell her about himself and how he has been observing her and feels she is a lucky find. he told her he's an offshore supervisor at NNPC's offshore rig somewhere around bonny island and sent her pictures of himself at work with some teammates. He then said he wants to be straightforward and he wants to marry her. They exchanged phone numbers and they began talking offline. He told her that he was once married before but his wife died during childbirth but the child survived. The child supposedly lives with his mother in Benue state cus his mother was kidnapped from his Lagos Duplex few yrs ago and the village is full of jealous ppl who may harm them. He gave her the number of his mother. She called and indeed a crook with an old woman like voice spoke to her and she also spoke to another crook pretending to be a little girl. The man requested her to call him by 5:30am everyday while he calls late in the night saying that's when he resumes and dismisses from work. He told her that his weak point is that he doesn't have a church he attends when he's on leave. They later agreed that her pastor should rededicate him to Christ on phone. The pastor did and prayed for him and by the next day he started sharing testimonies of how everything the pastor said has started manifesting.
Days later, his so called mother called her and begged her to help her calm her son down that he's angry with her she was curious to kno what happened from the son who told her that he doesn't know how come his atm with his mother got expired and how he's afraid that some crooks have swapped the atm while "trying to help his mother withdraw money from the atm" he couldnt do anything cus he wasn't with his phone. He later agreed to calm down and asked my friend to help them out with the small money (about 50k). My friend sent 25k and this was the beginig of extortions. Meanwhile her pastor told her the day the atm issue happened that something isnt right about that man and he may be a 419. She didn't take it to hrt.

CultureI Haven’t Adopted The Title Of An Emir, Oluwo Of Iwo Says by 4reala(op): 5:57pm On Apr 01, 2018
Femi Makinde,

OsogboThe Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Akanbi, has denied adopting the title of an emir, contrary to media reports. Speaking through his media aide, Mr. Ali Ibrahim, in a statement issued on Sunday, the Oluwo explained that he had never dropped the title of an Oba for an emir. The monarch has been dressing like an emir and wearing turban occasionally and he again wore the turban on Saturday when he installed Yakub Abdul-Baqi Mohhamed the Waziri of Yoruba land in his palace in Iwo. He installed the Waziri, allegedly despite the warning given to him by the League of Imams and Alfas in South West, Edo and Delta states, that he had no such powers to confer an Islamic title, which cuts across the entire South West, on anybody. The statement read, “Oluwo has never adopted the Emir title; he onlysaid he could also be called an Emir by the Hausas and ardent Muslims.“Oba Akanbi is an Oba for the nation, with special attachment to the Yorubas. He promotes Yoruba culture to the admiration of many youths.“Just because of Oluwo dress code today, many children are attracted toYoruba culture of wearingaso ofi.“I said so (reference to being an emir) to integrate Nigeria nation as an indivisible entity. All working tools are available for the integration and unity of our dear country.“I’ve visited the North several times. Core Hausa hardly pronounce Yoruba words correctly. They call me emir when I am with them. Is there anything wrong in answering to such?“Even, the Hausa in Iwo here call meemir. Will I stop them from addressing me as such?“No, I am a father to the nation, being a first-class paramount ruler.”

Christianity EtcA Boy Who Survived Cancer Got His Wish When The Pope Kissed Him by 4reala(op): 1:55pm On Apr 01, 2018
(CNN) - Program notes: Tune in to the new CNN Original Series, "Pope: The Most Powerful Man in History," Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.An Ohio family got a miracle this Holy Week: Pope Francis granted their son's wish with a papalkiss.Peter Lombardi, 12, was only 9 when he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April 2015. His devoutly Catholic family had been set to see the Pope in Philadelphia that September when they found themselves in a hospital as Peterbegan chemotherapy.As the family watched the papal visit from his hospital room, someone from Make-A-Wish came in asking for Peter's wish."Peter said, 'I want the man in the white outfit to kiss me like he's kissing all those kids.' I said, 'Pete, your wish is to get a kiss from Pope Francis?'" his mother, Brenda Lombardi, told CNN.Make-A-Wish said it couldn't grant that wish. Instead, sometime in 2019, the foundation would grant his second wish: a light saber fight with Darth Vader.Family travels to Rome after son beats cancerPeter has been in remission from cancer since June 2017. His parents and three siblings planned a trip to Italy to celebrate their son's healing and thank God for their blessing during Holy Week this year."We never thought it would come to fruition. You can't come to Rome and expect Pope Francis to kiss your child among the millions of people," Lombardi said via phone from Rome.The Lombardis arrived in Rome a few days ago on Palm Sunday. They hired a guide, Mountain Butorac, who works for The Catholic Traveler, to give them a tour of Rome from the Catholic perspective.Peter's mother told Butorac about her son's wish to get a kiss from the Pope. She was surprised when he told her he may be able to make that happen.On Wednesday, Butorac met up with his good friend, Joanne, who is married to a man who's part of the Swiss Guards. The guards are responsible for keeping the Pope safe."She took us the back way where the Swiss Guardslive and we got to meet the Swiss Guards and it was beautiful. She coached us. She said, 'When Pope Francis comes by, you need to scream and we need to lift up Peter,'" Lombardi said.One of the Pope's security guards lifted Peter up and the Pope kissed him on the forehead."He didn't just kiss him, he let him come up and sit on the Popemobile," she said.Mother praises God for healing her sonAs her son waved back and smiled, Lombardi had an emotional moment. She cried and cried.Lombardi and her family credit God with helping Peter overcome cancer, as well as guiding him through other hard times in his young life."I thanked Him for always surpassing our expectations when it comes to our faith and our trust in Him. You think that when your child gets leukemia, it is a heavy cross and a battle, but through the experience, it was just full of grace," she said. "God just kept giving us so much hope."Children with Down Syndrome, like Peter, have a higher risk of childhood cancer, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia, according to studies.The family is paying homage to several saints they prayed to when Peter was sick, among them Franciscan saints like St. Anthony of Padua. They will spend Easter in Assisi, Italy, as a way of thanking the Franciscans.Other stops on their two-week vacation will include Sorento and Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared in 1981.Peter told his mom he thought the whole experience was great. "He said, 'The Pope kissed me and blessed me and then blessed me again,'" Lombardi said.

Christianity EtcPope Francis In Easter Service Baptizes Migrant Hailed As A Hero by 4reala(op): 1:41pm On Apr 01, 2018
(CNN) - Pope Francis baptized a Nigerian migrant -- who shot to fame after confronting a thief on the streets of Rome -- as part of Saturday's Easter service. In September last year, migrant John Ogah, 31, had been begging outside a supermarket in Rome when he confronted a thief, who was armed with a meat cleaver and attempting to steal money from the store. Ogah was heralded a hero by the Italian press, and on Saturday was one of eight people baptized by the Pope at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. Ogah was also one of thousands of Nigerian migrants who reached Italy last year after traveling to Libya and catching a smuggler's boat across the Mediterranean. Many are refugees fleeing conflict or economic migrants in search of better opportunities in Europe, most having sold everything they own to finance the journey. Ogah did not have permission to stay in Italy, but his act of bravery saw authorities grant him a residency permit. He now works with the Italian Red Cross, and requested that Rome's Police Captain, Nunzio Carbone, become his godfather at the baptism ceremony. Pope Francis has highlighted the plight of migrants numerous times during his papacy. During Saturday's service, he asked worshipers what they could do to help others, saying "and I, this Easter of 2018, what will I do? What will you do?"Read more: Pope likens refugee centers to 'concentration camps'His 2018 New Year's address urged world leaders to do more to help refugees, saying it was"important that everyone -- civil institutions, educational, welfare and ecclesial realities -- are committed to ensuring refugees, migrants and everyone a future of peace."

CrimePolice Save Atiku From Kidnappers, 5 Suspects Killed by 4reala(op): 7:12am On Apr 01, 2018
The Police in Taraba state have saved one Alhaji Yakubu Atiku from kidnappers and killed five suspects set to perpetrate the act. The suspects had stormed Atiku’s home in Garba-Chede, Gassol Local Government Area of the state late on Friday night, when the police were called in. In the ensuing exchange of gunfire, the police killed five of the attackers, the spokesman of the command, ASP David Misal, said at a news conference on Saturday in Jalingo.

Misal said: 
“ The operatives attached to Bali Division on March 30 at 2300 hrs engaged a group of armed men suspected to be kidnappers and armed robbers.
“The hoodlums on the same date invaded the residence of one Alhaji Yakubu Atiku of Garba-Chede in an attempt to kidnap him.“The report was received with swift reaction from our operatives which led to an exchange of fire from both sides.
“With the superior fire power of our gallant officers, five members of the gang were shot dead while others escaped with bullet wounds,” he said.The spokesman said one AK47 rifle, one pump action, two single barrel guns, 16 cartridges, three expended 7.62mm ammunition, two expended cartridges and assorted charms were recovered from the suspects. He assured that the police would leave no stone unturned until they reduced the nefarious acts of kidnapping and armed robbery to the barest minimum as directed by the state Commissioner of Police, Mr David Akinremi. Misal appealed to members of the public to always report criminal acts to the police for effective service delivery.

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL MANUAL
LESSON THIRTY-ONE
SUNDAY, 1ST APRIL 2018

TOPIC: BROKEN HOMES

MEMORY VERSE: ‘’And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." - Mark 3:25

BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 25:24-34

INTRODUCTION:
Families are the bedrock of society. When families fall apart, society falls into social and cultural decline. The plan of God for divinely instituted homes is for them to remain united in body and in spirit (Psalm 133:1). A broken home is a family in which the parents are separated or divorced. It is also a family that is set apart due to tension and certain problems.
Unless you live in complete isolation, you have seen a broken home. It may be the family of a friend, relative or your own home. Hardly anything perplexes and discourages us more than broken homes. The Bible talks a lot about broken homes and we should, too.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. Why are so many home broken?
2. Effects and remedy for broken homes

WHY ARE SO MANY HOME BROKEN?
Many of us attribute the problem of broken homes to recent cultural shifts (the decline of religion and morality). However, the reasons so many homes are broken may include but are not limited to the following: wrong choice in marriage (Proverbs 21:9,19; 19:13), parental or friends influence (Genesis 2:24; Proverbs 13:20) and lack of genuine sacrificial love (1John 3:16; Romans 5:7-cool. Communication breakdown is also responsible for many broken homes today (Matthew 5:37). Sexual unfaithfulness to ones wife or husband has caused lots of broken homes (Hebrews 13:4; Hosea 2:2). Others include stinginess/meanness. Improper money management is equally not good for any home (1Timothy 6:10). Preference for a child at the expense of others (Genesis 25:28), time consuming jobs are not good for the family (Psalm 127:2; Proverbs 31:14-15) and worldly pleasures (1John 2:15).

EFFECTS AND REMEDY FOR BROKEN HOMES
Broken homes often lead to husbands abandoning their spouses and children. Wives walk out of their husband's lives and leave children with devastated emotions. Single mothers give birth to children with no marriage and no father-image for support and guidance.
What can spouses do when their partners walk out? What can children do when their parents abadon them? Here are some solutions:
1. Commit everything to God in prayer (Psalm 127:1; Psalm 50:15).
2. Stop and consider that God is greater than any difficulty (Jeremiah 32:27).
3. Embrace the fact that Jesus loves you (Romans 5:8; Matthew 11:28-30).
4. Ask God to make you a better person in the present circumstances (Psalm 51:10).
5. Seek the help of other Christians (Proverbs 11:14).
6. Learn to forgive and seek reconciliation/restoration (Ephesians 4:32; Romans 12:18; Isaiah 57:18).
