TOPIC — Thanksgiving: When and How?

MEMORY VERSE: “I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” – Psalm 34:1

BIBLE PASSAGE: Luke 17:11-19

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

INTRODUCTION:

In the world we live, many believe that most things they get are their rights. They believe in their sweat, smartness and intellect, hence, they see no reason they should give thanks to anyone,not even the Almighty (Zechariah 4:6). For believers, this is not only wrong but wicked and dangerous act. For instance, in Luke 17:17-19, only one of the lepers returned to give thanks to the Lord. He was heal and also made whole while the remaining nine were only heal but not make whole.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. WHEN SHOULD WE OFFER THANKSGIVING?
2. HOW TO OFFER ACCEPTABLE THANKSGIVING

1. WHEN SHOULD WE OFFER THANKSGIVING?
The Biblical order is that we should give thanks to God at all times and in all circumstances (psalm34:1, 1 Thessalonians 5:18 ). Specifically, we are also admonished to be thankful at certain time or seasons.
These include ;
1. When it is well with us. Psalm 103:1-2, 136:1-4
2. When we are in adverse situations e. g. Sickness or affliction. 2Corinthians 11:26-30, 12:9, job 1 :20-22
3. When disappointed, abandoned or rejected. Psalm 42:5, 10-11, job 19:25
4. When we are going through trials. Psalm 59:16-17, Daniel 3:17-18, Act 16:25-31
5. When being persecuted or tempted. Daniel 6:10, James 1:2-4
6. When experiencing delay Psalm 13:1-6.
Thanksgiving is God delicacy and gets Heaven’s accelerated response.

HOW TO OFFER ACCEPTABLE THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving should be the first fruit of our lips(Hebrew 13:15). It should come out of a pure, broken and contrite heart (Psalm 51:16-17). Thanksgiving should not be offer grudgingly or of necessity but willingly and cheerfully. (Exodus 35:5, 2 Corinthians 9:7). We can offer thanks to God with joyful noise (Psalm 47:1), musical instruments and dancing (Psalm 150:3-6) etc. Offering of quality substance like our time, materials, property and money are other acceptable means of thanksgiving (Proverb 3:9-10). Your thanksgiving should be a sacrifice with sweet savour unto God (Genesis 4:4, Psalm 107:22).

CONCLUSION:
According to Romans 1:21,only people of vain imaginations and foolish or darkened heart will not be thankful (Psalm 50:14)

QUESTIONS:
1. When should Christians give thanks to God?
2. How should we thank Him?

LESSON ONE

SUNDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER ,2018.

TOPIC: THANKSGIVING: REASONS AND BENEFITS


MEMORY VERSE: "O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” – Psalm 136:1

BIBLE PASSAGE: Psalm 100:1-5
1.Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2.Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3.Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4.Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5.For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

INTRODUCTION:
It is the will of God for Christians to be thankful to Him (1Thessalonians 5:18 ). It is the master key to gaining entrance into His gate (Psalm 100:4). When thanksgiving is complemented with praise, you have access into God’s master bedroom (Courts). The primary reason God created us in His image is for fellowship, dominion and to show forth His praise (Isaiah 43:21; 1Peter 2:9).

LESSON OUTLINES
1. Why give thanks?
2. Some benefits of thanksgiving.

WHY GIVE THANKS?
Thanksgiving is the will of God for every believer at all times, under all conditions and in all circumstances (1Thessalonians 5:18 ). Our requests should start and end with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6) because it is a proven weapon of warfare (2Chronicles 20:20-27). As new creations in Christ, we must thank God for the salvation of our souls (Psalm 103: 3-4). We are to also give thanks to God for His provisions (Genesis 1:26-30); His enduring mercy (Psalm 130:7-8; 136:1-26); His miracles and deliverance (Exodus 14; 2Kings 5:1-14); For His restoration of life and hope (Ezekiel 37:1-7); For His Almightiness (Genesis 17:1); For His holiness and faithfulness (1Samuel 2:2; Numbers 23:19,23; Hebrews 6:18); His perfect love (1John 4:8 ). The list of what to thank God for is actually inexhaustible.

SOME BENEFITS OF THANKSGIVING
If you will cultivate the habit of showing gratitude to God, you will compel overflowing blessings from God. These blessings may include:
1. Answered prayers (John 11:41-44).
2. Multiplication of provisions (Mark 8:6-8 ).
3. Deliverance from bondage (Acts 16:25-26).
4. Divine peace and joy (Philippians 4:6-7).
5. Divine presence (Psalm 22:3; 95:2).
6. Complete restoration and wholeness (Luke 17:16-19).
7. Victory without a fight (2 Chronicles 20:21-23).

CONCLUSION
Ingratitude is the result of vain imaginations and a darkened heart. Sometimes your thanksgiving is senseless to the ordinary person but it is more profitable to be thankful than to grumble or complain (Romans 1:21).

QUESTIONS
1. Why do you have to give thanks to God?
2. Mention 5 benefits of thanksgiving.

EmirAbj:
But you are part of the people nah, it's either you're a xtian or Muslim so therefore let us come together to tell them.. .XTIANITY AND ISLAM CLERICS WILL NEVER PREACH TAKING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ON THE PULPIT

But the same clerics will never preach against collecting the money from alcohol, what a high level of hypocrisy? What tell you that anyone that is not a Muslim must be a Christian? I just mock your ignorance

EmirAbj:
That's how you fail exam, for the second time In XTIANITY Alcoholic drink is allowed?? YES OR NO PLEASE... I don't need your super story pls and pls

I don't know what your dumb question is all about. Stop changing goal post here do you even know what you're asking?

EmirAbj:
So In XTIANITY Alcoholic drink is allowed right?? I NEED YES OR NO RESPONSE PLEASE... Super Story not allowed

The argument here is not about Christianity or Islam stop being dumb man

EmirAbj:
But it's not only on Alcohol beverages fg is gotten the revenue from, what I am saying is that Islamically is not good to take part in anything HARAM on contribute towards it

My point is, don't just preach against alcohol here mobilise your people to tell FGN not to include alcoholic tax in what your state benefit from

[quote author=EmirAbj post=70716856]Anyone that does it the wrath of Allah is on them[/quotpe]
Tell this to FAAC to remove all the tax revenue gotten from alcoholic beverages companies from federation account before sharing and see how much the Northern states will be getting monthly from the federation account. Either you like to admit it or not, you all are spending money from alcohol

EmirAbj:
See this useless governor, he's a devoted Muslim as I heard that he always go to Mecca at least three times in a year, drinking and having impact in anything Alcoholic is HARAM in Islam...He should have learn from Egyptian Keeper which was giving Alcoholic Drinks for his man of the Match during RUSSIA 2018 World Cup, he rejected the gift because it's HARAM

And Zamfara will gladly receive from the revenue generated from this same haram. The Nothern states in this country has been given to much Islam and haram against alcohol but the tax paid by these breweries will not be left for Southern States alone what a height of hypocrisy?

Topic - Eternal Reward

MEMORY VERSE: “And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” – Matthew 19:29

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 9:16-27

16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

INTRODUCTION:
The scriptures say do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain. It also says the labourer is worthy of his reward. So, God has a reward for all that make it to the kingdom.

TOPIC: The Crucial Judgments
MEMORY VERSE: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” – Hebrews 9:27

BIBLE PASSAGE: Revelations 20:11-15

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

INTRODUCTION:

Judgment is one of the common destinies awaiting all men (Hebrews 9:27). Believers and unbelievers, the young and old, the rich and poor, will all face judgment. The judgment will not be corporate but personal. As there is more than one resurrection, there is more than one judgment. Some of the judgments the Bible speaks about include the believers’ self-judgment at the communion table (1 Corinthians 11:29-31), the judgment of the believers at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10), the judgment of the nations (Matthew 25:32) and the judgment of the unsaved at the Great White Throne (Revelations 20:11). In this lesson, our focus is on the judgment of the believers and the judgment of the unsaved.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. The judgment of the saints
2. The judgment of the sinners

THE JUDGMENT OF THE SAINTS

Believers will no longer be judged for sin, as long as they do not go back to sin. The believers’ sins, which have been repented of and forsaken, have been judged in Christ at Calvary (Romans 8:1). However, there is a judgment the believers must go through. This is the judgment of the believers’ works for the purpose of rewards (Matthew 16:27).

1. The focus of the judgment: The quality of work, the motive behind every work and the level of faithfulness (1 Corinthians 3:13; 2 Timothy 2:20).

2. The candidates for the judgment: The resurrected ‘’dead in Christ’’ and the living who remain in Christ when He comes at rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

3. The place of the judgment: The judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10).

4. The time for the judgment: After Christ’s coming at rapture, during the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Matthew 16:27; Revelations 19:9).

The result of the judgment:
Rewards and crowns for the faithful (1 Corinthians 3:14; 2Timothy 4:7-8 ).
Losses for those whose works lack the required divine quality (1 Corinthians 3:15).

THE JUDGMENT OF THE SINNERS
This is the final judgment that will climax the end of this age. The judgment of sinners is certain (Proverbs 11:21).

1. The candidates for the judgment: Those whose names are not in the Book of life (Revelations 20:15). These include the abominable (homosexuals, lesbians, etc.), all liars, sexually immoral, the friends of the world, idolaters, murderers, thieves etc. (Revelations 21:8 ).

2. The place of the judgment: The great white throne. God, the impartial and all-knowing God, sits on the throne (Revelations 20:11).

3. The time of the judgment: After the millennial (one thousand years), reign of Christ on earth (Revelations 20:5-6).

4. The result of judgment: Sinners shall be cast into the lake of fire (Revelations 20:15; Psalm 9:17).

CONCLUSION

Earthly judgment can be influenced and compromised, divine judgment cannot. It is judgment in righteousness and truth. The judgment of both the saints and the sinners is certain (Galatians 6:7-8 ).

QUESTIONS

1. Mention some people who will face the great white throne judgment.
2. Will some be judged righteous at the great white throne judgment?

TOPIC — The Marriage Of The Lamb


MEMORY VERSE: “And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” – Revelation 19:9b

BIBLE PASSAGE: Revelations 19:1-14 (Sunday School STUDENT Manual August 5 2018)

1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great LovePeddler, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

INTRODUCTION:
Marriage, in this context, symbolises the union between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-32). It is, however, important to note that the second coming of Christ with the Saints to reign on earth is the next event after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. May the Holy Spirit teach us and bless us richly as we look at this topic in details (Daniel 7:13; 1Timothy 6:14; Acts 1:10-11).

LESSON OUTLINES
1. What, when and where is the marriage?
2. Importance and qualification for the marriage.

WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE IS THE MARRIAGE?
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the Lamb is the consummation of the union between Christ, the Bridegroom and the Church (without spot or wrinkles) (Ephesians 5:27; Revelations 19:1-14; Matthew 22:1-14; Matthew 25:1-13). It is one of the greatest biblical prophesies. The Marriage will take place after the rapture and before the second coming of Christ (with the saints) to the earth (Revelations 19:1-21). Christ is the Bridegroom. The wife is the redeemed or saints of all ages who will have part in the first resurrection and who will live in the New Jerusalem forever (Revelations 21:2, 2:9-10).

IMPORTANCE AND QUALIFICATION FOR THE MARRIAGE
The marriage is important for the following reasons:
1. To assemble the saints for the last supper with Christ (Matthew 26:29).
2. To present the just of all ages to God, the Father, and fulfil their main eternal purpose (John 17:12).
3. To wipe away tears from the faces of the saints (Revelations 7:17; 21:4)
4. To take away the saints from the earth before the activities of the anti-Christ and the great tribulation (Isaiah 57:1).
Those who will qualify for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb must be those who belong to Christ (2Corinthians 5:17), earnestly desiring His second coming and watching (Matthew 25:1-13). Those whose patience and visions are not darkened. Those who do not get distracted and lose focus completely before the Bridegroom comes. Those whose holiness is not polluted and their garment not stained. Those whose garment is righteousness and always right on time (Matthew 21:10-14; Revelations 21:8-27; Hebrews 12:14). Those that obey His commandments and whose citizenship is in Heaven (Revelations 22:14-15; Ephesians 2:16; Matthew 7:21-23).

CONCLUSION
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb, like all biblical prophecies, will be fulfilled. Our Lord Jesus Christ will have His last supper with the Church without spots or wrinkles. Are you a member of His kingdom? Do you earnestly desire it? You cannot afford to miss it. Pray to God to keep you standing in Him and count you worthy of this great and unique event.

QUESTIONS:
1. Who qualifies for the marriage?
2. Name four important reasons for the Marriage?

Which of the gods?

Olu317:
Is this the comparison of words shared between Ibos and Yorubas? Do you not know,some words are borrowed? Funny enough your comparison is basically modern day Yoruba,that became modernized by Ajayi Crowther and not the dialects spoken in different Yoruba enclave,even till eternity. Olukumi(Yoruba people of Igbodu clan) are in the deep part of Delta state,surrounded by Ibos,why doesn't the language assimilate and be unified with their Ibo neighbours? Tell yourself the truth. Anyway, believe whatever you want to believe but Yoruba aren't genetically related with Ibo,after careful DNA studies nor did Yorubas had same ancestry. This is practically a false.
Trust me on this,I have nothing to proof to you but if you are damn sure of words similarities between Ibos and Yoruba, then go and write out the Ibo meaning of over 150 words that is written in Yoruba, which spoken in yoruba dialects and its English meaning,to see if you are inline or not,in a thread,with the topic; ‘Arab origin of Yoruba'. Perhaps, you will realise the deviation of your opinion from reality and historical facts.
