RCCG HOUSE FELLOWSHIP LEADER’S MANUAL 15 AUGUST 2021

TOPIC: YOU WILL BE ADDRESSED THE WAY YOU DRESS

OPENING PRAYER: Father, please help me not to disappoint You in the area of my dressing.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: The leader should ask the members to state the characteristics of a virtuous woman.

MEMORY VERSE: “And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.” Exodus 2:19

BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 2:15-19

LESSON INTRODUCTION: The primary purpose of dressing is to cover ones nakedness and to glorify God. As children of God, we should led our dressing give glory to God. Our dressing is the first description of who we are. In today’s bible text Moses was called an Egyptian by the way he dressed. Our character is judged by our style of dressing. A well refined, cultivated mind, will be revealed in the choice of simple and appropriate attire.

TEXT REVIEW: Exodus 2:15-19
i. Moses who was a jew, was called an Egyptian because of his dressing.
ii. The seven daughters of the priest of Midian-Reuel mistaken him to be an Egyptian because of his physical appearance (his dressing).

LESSON OUTLINES:
A: WHAT OUR DRESSING SAYS ABOUT US:
i. It should differentiate us from the world. – 1 John 2:15
ii. It should not become a tool of seduction. – Philippians 4:5
iii. It should send a message of godliness. – 1 Timothy 2:9
iv. It should reveal how much we love and value God
v. It has positive or negative influence on others. – Romans 14:15-16

B: THE NEED FOR MODERATION IN CHRISTIAN DRESSING (PHILIPPIANS 4:5):
We are naturally concerned, because it is the quest of every believer to grow into full stature of Christ: to have temperance and control over the body, to cultivate a sound mind and to be wise in all spiritual things. In other words, we are to be transformed from this world and not to be conformed to this world.
In order, therefore, to understand the implications of clothing, it is imperative that we know what the scripture says. According to Matthew 5:14-16, we are to stand out as lights in the world and to be different and this must surely be reflected in our dressing.

C: DANGERS OF INDECENT DRESSING:
.- It can lead to disrespect.
.- It can lead to assault.
.- It can lead to rape.
.- It can lead to arrest.
.- It can bring shame.

ACTIVITY: What is indecent dressing?

SUMMARY: Dressing portrays your personality. Please dress decently.

CONCLUSION: Dress well if you want people to address you well.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Thank God for your life, for bringing you out of darkness into His marvellous light.
2. Father, help me to bring glory to Your name through my dressing.
3. Father, continue to uphold and strengthen Daddy G.O. and his family.
4. Father, let there be spiritual, material and numerical growth in RCCG worldwide.

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENT’S MANUAL 15 AUGUST 2021

TOPIC: END TIME PROPHECIES

MEMORY VERSE: “But the day of the Lord will come as a theif in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up”. 2 Peter 3:10

BIBLE PASSAGE: Isaiah 13:6-22

INTRODUCTION: The event usually referred to as “the end of the world” (eschaton) is described in *2Peter 3:10* This is the culmination of a series of events called “the day of the Lord,” The Bible has a lot to say about the end times.

Nearly every book of the Bible contains prophecy regarding the end times.Taking all of these prophecies and organizing them can be difficult. Following is a very brief summary of what the Bible declares will happen in the end times.

LESSON OUTLINES:
1. FROM RAPTURE TO THE GREAT TRIBULATION
2. THE MILLENNIAL REIGN TO THE END

FROM RAPTURE TO THE GREAT TRIBULATION
Christ will remove all born-again believers from the earth in an event known as the “rapture” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-54). At the judgement seat of Christ, these believers will be rewarded for good works and faithful service during their time on earth or will lose their rewards, but not eternal life, for lack of service and disobedience (1 Corinthians 3:11-15; 2 Corinthians 5:10).

The Antichrist (the beast) will come into power and will sign a covenant with Israel for seven years (Daniel 9:27). This seven years period of time is known as the “tribulation”. During the tribulation, there will be terrible wars, famines, plagues and natural disasters. God will be pouring out His wrath against sin, evil and Wickedness.

About half way through the seven years, the antichrist will break the peace covenant with Israel and make war against it. The antichrist will commit “the abomination of desolation” and set up an image of himself to be worshipped in the Jerusalem temple (Daniel 9:27); 2 Thessalonian 2:3-10), which will have been rebuilt. The second half of the tribulation is known as “the great tribulation” (Revelation 7:14) and “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7).

THE MILLENNIAL REIGN TO THE END
At the end of the seven-year tribulation, the Antichrist will launch a final attack on Jerusalem, culminating in “the battle of Armageddon” (Revelation 16:16;19:19-20).

The Lord Jesus Christ will return and destroy all those who rejected Him, the antichrist and his false prophets will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:11-21). Christ will then bind Satan in “the Abyss – bottomless pit” for one thousand years. Christ will rule His earthly kingdom for this thousand years period. (Revelation 20:1-6)

At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be released and will deceive many. He will be defeated again and then cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:7-9) for eternity. Christ then judges all unbelievers at the great white throne judgement, casting then all into the lake of fire.

Death and hell will also be cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:10-15). Christ will then usher in a new heaven and New earth and the new Jerusalem – the eternal dwelling place of believers. There will be no more sin, sorrow, or death. (Revelation 21-22)

CONCLUSION: The knowledge of this end time events is for believers to be well prepared.

QUESTIONS:
1. Briefly describe the series of events from the time of the rapture to the great tribulations.
2. What will happen between the period of the millennial reign and the end of this present world?

ASSIGNMENT: Mention five things that will happen during rapture.

OPEN HEAVEN 15 AUGUST 2021 MESSAGE

Power, particularly the one given by God is sweet. However, there is something sweeter than power and that is authority.

When God gives you authority, you become a small god in your own right (Psalms 82:6).

God gave Moses authority to go and deliver the children of Israel from the bondage of the Egyptians and he became a god to Pharaoh and the hosts of Egypt

“And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.” “Exodus 7:1”

When we give our lives to Jesus Christ through faith, we become children of God by grace because He gives power to as many as receive and believe in His name (John 1:11-12).

When we begin to do His will, following Him intimately, He gives us authority without measure.

This is when we ascend to higher realms over and above principalities and powers of the devil.

The unfortunate thing about many 21st Century believers is that they tend to be satisfied with the power to become children of God but hardly bother to possess spiritual authority like the believers of old.

Many contemporary children of God operate below the level of the Old Testament prophets who were not privileged to have the kind of relationship we enjoy with the Holy Spirit.

For example, in 2 Kings 1:10, Elijah called down fire on those who came to arrest him.

How many contemporary Christians can call down fire from Heaven?

While it is true that we are to preach the gospel of peace, we are also to show forth the praises of our Lord Jesus Christ as His priests (1 Peter 2:9).

Luke 9:1 says: “Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.”

The Bible also says in James 4:7: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

To have such authority that will put the devil and his cohorts under our control, we must first submit ourselves to Jesus Christ. It is He who has all authority and power according to Matthew 28:18

OPEN HEAVEN 15 AUGUST 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please give me the authority to live above principalities and powers that may want to destroy or alter my destiny, in Jesus name.

CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE

1. Conquerors and overcomers now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail,
Nothing ‘gainst His mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.

REFRAIN:
Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood,
God will give us victory, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.

2. In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be,
For salvation and for blood-bought victory.

3. Unto him that overcometh shall be giv’n,
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n,
Over yonder he the victor’s palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.

1. And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither.

2. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

5. And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

Being a child of God puts one in a position of continued relevance throughout ones lifetime. It also makes you the link to other peoples blessings.

When Joseph became Potiphars servant, the atmosphere of the house changed; prosperity came to Potiphar.

I pray that because of you, God will make a way for your parents and relatives in the mighty name of Jesus.

Your presence in your family or school should bring benefits to everyone there.

Lives should be saved because you took a bus, taxi, boat or airplane.

I remember there was a time we went on a mission trip to preach in a country that required crossing the sea on a boat.

We hired some boats but one of the men insisted that he would be on my boat.

Obviously, he was afraid, so, I assured him that everyone would be safe.

He said please allow me be in your boat sir because peradventure anything happens, I know your own boat will not sink.

OPEN HEAVEN 14 AUGUST 2021 MESSAGE

Many people think they cannot prosper in life unless they struggle. We must know that there is a difference between struggling and working.

Work is a divine vocation which started with Adam. The Bible says: “And the lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” “Genesis 2:15”

The truth however, is that you do not need to struggle before you prosper.

It is true that you should be diligent because the Bible says the soul of the diligent shall be made fat (Proverbs 13:4).

In the Bible reading of today we discover some truths about the mind of God concerning the prosperity of His people

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day”. “Deuteronomy 8:18”

It is unfortunate that many people of God do not know that God gives power and opportunities to His children to get wealth, for one major reason: that He may prove Himself faithful to His word according to Exodus 3:17:

“And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.”

Milk and honey here symbolise prosperity. Beloved, I have good news for you: God is interested in the prosperity of His people.

Prosperity from God is without sorrow. The Lord who prospers is the same Lord who protects.

He will not give you a car that will become a death trap. He will not give you a child that will break your heart.

This suggests to us that there could be counterfeit prosperity. The devil is the giver of that kind of prosperity.

However, Jesus is the true source of prosperity and eternal blessings. He paid the price in full, hence, you can never regret being prospered by His benevolence.

The Bible says: “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye though his poverty might be rich.” “2 Corinthians 8:9”

Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come and now honour Thy Word.

4. There shall be showers of blessing;
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now, as to God, we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

5. There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 AUGUST 2021 MESSAGE

The children in our Bible reading meant no harm when they made fun of Elisha, the man of God. Unfortunately, they ended in the belly of two bears.

If you’re fond of jesting or joking, watch it.

A teenager who doesn’t revere God or elders and goes about making fun of their expressions or physique will one day get his fingers burnt.

If you are one of those who write down grammatical blunders made by elders in order to analyze and laugh at them, be very careful.

God is a consuming fire; he doesn’t tolerate unhealthy jokes that don’t bring glory to His name.

This could be the reason for some childrens mysterious death or inexplicable illnesses.

With the advent of social media, some have already pronounced curses on themselves by attacking or making jests of men of God online.

The next time you come across such posts, instead of getting involved, scroll away.

Don’t be caught in the web of jesting and if you’re guilty of this in any way, run to God and ask for mercy today so that this won’t stand against you on the judgment day.
