MEMORY VERSE: “But and if ye suffer for
righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not
afraid of their terror, neither be troubled” 1 Peter 3:14

BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 5:9-10.

[9]Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

[10]Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Matthew 5:9-10 are parts of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in which He says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”.

This lesson attempts to explain who the peacemakers and the persecuted are, as well as why Jesus pronounced these peculiar blessings on them?

OUTLINES
1: BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS
2. BLESSED ARE THE PERSECUTED

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall
be called the children of God” (Matt.5:9)
Generally, ‘Peacemakers’ are those who
strive to prevent contention, strife, and those who use their influence to reconcile
opposing parties, prevent lawsuits and hostilities, in families and neighbourhoods.

In the context of the relationship between God and man, those who witness for Christ, share their faith with their friends, and serve others in the name of Christ are the ambassadors for peace (2 Cor.5:18,20).

Those who bring the wonderful message of God’s peace to the world are “peacemakers” (Eph.6:15). Jesus calls them the “children of God” Furthermore, the term includes all who make peace between men, whether as individuals or as communities.

Those who worthily endeavour to make peace, even if they did not succeed at it are also peacemakers.Peacemakers shall be called God’s children because He is the God of peace (Rom.15:33; 16:20; 2 Cor.13:11); whose supreme purpose is to secure peace (Lk.2:14); and who gave His Son to be born into this world as the Prince of Peace (lsa. 9:6; Eph. 2:14).

The Spirit of God is the Spirit of peace. It is
by His Spirit that we are made His children. If we are not peacemakers, we do not have the Spirit of Christ (Rom. 8:14)

BLESSED ARE THE PERSECUTED

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt.5:10). To persecute, means literally to pursue, follow after, as one pursues a fleeing enemy. Here it means to vex, or oppress one, on account of his faith.

Persecution is never pleasant but involves
suffering and often severe pain (Rom. 8:18;
2Cor.4:9). Some people suffer for doing evil,
but that is punishment, not persecution.
Some are persecuted for reasons unrelated
to righteousness.

Jesus was not offering a general blessing to all victims of persecution for any cause. He offered it only to those who were persecuted for actively pursuing the kingdom of righteousness and because of their faith in Jesus Christ (Matt. 5:11; 1 Pet. 2:20).

Christians are not expected to seek or provoke persecution. However, we are to consider it a blessing, if in the honest effort to live righteously, others persecute us (2 Tim 3:12).

It is all evidence that we are the children of God and that He will defend us (2 Cor.4:9). To endure persecution for the sake of righteousness requires uncompromising faithfulness to God despite every threat and pressure (Rom.8:35-39).

Rather than feeling discouraged, dismayed, enraged,or depressed, believers who find themselves persecuted for openly living for Christ and His kingdom have good reason to rejoice and be glad for their reward in Heaven is great (Matt.5:11-12; Acts 6:8-15). They have evidence that they are Christians and are candidates of Heaven (Acts 7:55-59).

CONCLUSION: The peacemakers and those
that endure persecutions for Christ’s sake
are God’s blessed children.

QUESTIONS:
1. Who are the peacemakers?
2. Describe who the persecuted are.

FURTHER READINGS: MON: 1Pet. 3:8-13;
TUE: Matt. 5:11-12; WED: Matt.5:13-16;
THUR: 2Cor.4:7-11: FRI: 1Pet.2:13-20; SAT:
2 Tim.3:10-15; SUN: Acts.5:1-11

ASSIGNMENT: State five (5) distinctions
between punishment and persecution.

LESSON OUTLINES
LESSON OUTLINE 1: BLESSED ARE THE
PEACEMAKERS

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall
be called the children of God” (Matt.5:9).
• Question 1: Who are peacemakers? ‘Peacemakers’ are:
• Answer: i. Generally, those who strive to prevent contention, strife, and war; those who use their influence to reconcile opposing parties, prevent lawsuits and hostilities, 8n families and neighbourhoods.
•
ii. In the context of the relationship between
God and man, those who witness for Christ,
share their faith with their friends, and serve
others in the name of Christ are the ambassadors for peace (2 Cor.5:18, 20).

iii. Those who bring the wonderful message
of God’s peace to the world are “peacemakers” (Eph.6:15).

iv. Furthermore, the term includes all who make peace between men, whether as individuals or as communities. Those who worthily endeavour to make peace, even they did not succeed at it are also peacemakers.

• Question 1: What blessings are there for
peacemakers?
• Answer: i. Jesus calls peacemakers the
“children of God”

i. Peacemakers shall be called God’s children because:
a. He is the God of peace (Rom.15:33; 16:20; 2 Cor.13:11);

b. God’s supreme purpose is to secure peace (LK.2:14)

c. God gave His only begotten Son (Jesus)
to be born into this world as the Prince of Peace (Isa 9:6; Eph.2:14).

d. The Spirit of God is the Spirit of peace. It
is by His Spirit that we are made His children.

ii. If we are not peacemakers, we do not have the Spirit of Christ (Rom. 6:14).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Class should discuss why some believers prefer to hide their heads
when they should resolve conflicts/issues.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: BLESSED ARE THE
PERSECUTED

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt.5:10).
• Question 1: What does it mean to be persecuted for righteousness’ sake?

• Answer: i. To persecute, means literally to
pursue, follow after, as one pursues a fleeing
enemy. Here it means to vex, or oppress one,
on account of his faith.

ii. Persecution is never pleasant but involves
suffering and often severe pain (Rom. 8:18;
2 Cor.4:9).

iii. Some people suffer for doing evil, but that
is punishment, not persecution.

iv. Some are persecuted for reasons unrelated to righteousness. But Jesus was not offering a general blessing to all victims of persecution for any cause. He offered it only to those who were persecuted for actively pursuing the kingdom of righteousness and because of their faith in Jesus Christ (Matt.5:11; 1 Pet.2:20).

v. Christians are not expected to seek or provoke persecution. However, we are to consider it a blessing, if in the honest effort to
live righteously, others persecute us (2 Tim.
3:12).

• Question 2: What are the prescribed blessings for those being persecuted for righteousness’ sake?
• Answer: It is all evidence that we are the children of God, and that he will defend us
(2 Cor.4:9).

• Question 3: What are the antidotes for
persecution?
• Answer: i. Endurance: To endure persecution
for the sake of righteousness requires un-
compromising faithfulness to God despite
every threat and pressure (Rom.8:35-39).

ii. Joy: Rather than feeling discouraged, dismayed, enraged, or depressed, believers who find themselves persecuted for openly living for Christ and His kingdom have good reason to rejoice and be glad for their reward in
heaven is great (Matt.5:11-12; Acts 6:8-15).

iii. Eternity with Christ: They have evidence
that they are Christians and are candidates
of heaven (Acts 7:55-59).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Class should site instances when they played the role of
peacemakers.

SUMMARY: The peacemakers shall be called God’s sons while those persecuted for
righteousness shall have a great reward in
heaven.

CONCLUSION: The peacemakers and those that endure persecutions for Christ’s
sake are God’s blessed children.

EVALUATION: Students should mention some blessings available in the scripture for the Persecuted’.

peacemaker and give me the strength to endure any form of persecution that comes my way.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 NOVEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. James 1:12

OPEN HEAVEN 1 NOVEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING PROVERBS 1:11-15

11. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

12. Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

13. We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

14. Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

15. My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

OPEN HEAVEN 1 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

The irony of life in the spiritual realm is that the devil is the prosecutor.

The Bible says in Revelation 12:9-10: “And the great dragon was cast out that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceieveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.”

Despite the Scripture above, there are blessings attached to overcoming temptations.

Revelation 2:26 says And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.

It takes genuine love for God to be able to overcome temptations. Joseph in Egypt was able to overcome the temptation of sleeping with his masters wife because of the love he had for God (Genesis 39:9).

Todays text gives us some insight as to how we can overcome temptations we are to avoid the company of sinners and reject their ways.

There would always be temptations as long as we are alive. Temptation in itself is not a sin, but falling into it is the sin. The sinful thoughts that the devil flashes at you do not become sins until you begin to entertain and act on them. It is our resistance that makes us overcomers.

Hebrews 12:4 says: “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.”

We must also avoid doing anything that could bring about temptations. For example, why would you carry a member of the opposite sex that is not your spouse in your lap? Remember: you are still flesh and blood.

Let us learn from Joseph who fled Potiphar’s wife’s seduction so as not to sin against God (Genesis 39:7-12). God has promised to always provide for us a way of escape from every temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Joseph used the escape route God provided and the enemy was unable to destroy the glory ahead of him. I pray you will always overcome every temptation from now, in Jesus name.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 NOVEMBER 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father,..Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil… (Matthew 6:13)

Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly, and abide
Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
