SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN

MEMORY VERSE: As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”-1Peter 4:10

BIBLE PASSAGE: ROMANS 12:6-8

INTRODUCTION:
It is definitely commendable for God’s children to desire to know the spiritual gifts given to them by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of service in the Church and glorify God in the world (2 Timothy 1:6).

The existence of a gift is a call to exercise it. Therefore, Apostle Paul advised Timothy, “Neglect not the gift that is
in you,” (1Timothy 4:14).

2. Effective Use Of Spiritual Gifts

IDENTIFYING YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTEDNESS

Identifying your spiritual giftedness can be accomplished in various ways.

Effective fervent prayers is very vital because the One who knows exactly how you are spiritually gifted is the gift-giver Himself-the Holy Spirit. You can ask Him to show you how you are gifted in order to better use your spiritual gifts for His glory (Luke 11:9, 13).

Confirmation from others also gives light to your spiritual giftedness. Other people who see you serving the Lord can often identify a spiritual gift in use that you might take for granted or not recognise (1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:5-6). In addition, you can carry out a self-test.

There are questions you can ask yourself as pointers to your spiritual gift.
Questions like ‘what spiritual activity do l enjoy doing?”, “What ministry in my life is God blessing?”, “What is the Holy Spirit telling or prompting me to do? (Romans 12:5-8 ;1Corinthians 7:20,24).

EFFECTIVE USE OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS
Every Christian is given at least a gift at conversion (Ephesians 4:7). As you manage well your initial gift and as your ministry expands, you may ask God for other gifts under the direction and promptings of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:31,14:39).

Every gifted person has a proper function in the body of Christ (the church). No gift is superior to others but gifts differ in function (1 Corinthians 12:20-25). No one believer has all the gifts (1 Corinthians 12:28-30), so we need one another.

Spiritual gifts are given to edify (build up) other believers (1 Corinthians 14:12; 26: Ephesians 4:12); to promote growth, unity and love (Ephesians 4:16); to assist in the care of one another (1 Corinthians 12:25; 1 Peter 4:10); and to glorify God, especially in the ministry of the Word (1 Peter 4:11).

CONCLUSION: Faithful utilisation of a gift brings increased effectiveness in the ministry, but failure to develop a gift curtails ministry.

QUESTIONS:
1. In what ways can believers identify their spiritual gifts?
2. How can believers put their spiritual giftedness into effective usage?

THEME: A NEW IDENTITY

MEMORISE: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, John 1:12a

READ: 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 21 FEBRUARY 2021

MESSAGE:

God does not have grand children, anyone who accepts Christ as His Lord and Saviour becomes a child of God.

If you are a child of God, knowing who your Heavenly Father is will position you properly to live your life as He intended. The more you believe in your identity in Christ, the more it will reflect in your behaviour.

So, if you just gave your life to Jesus, dont focus on your past anymore or what people say about your past. As long as you have made a commitment to live for Jesus going forward, you have a new identity, hence, see yourself as God sees you. 2

Corinthians 5:17 says: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature : old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.

You are a new person; everything about you is new. Accept what God says about you and live a fulfilled life.

KEY POINT: Leave your past in the past and embrace your new life in Christ

HYMN 4: AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET

1.Amazing grace! how sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

2.Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

3.Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

4.Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

THEME: MOSES II

MEMORISE: Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; ECCLESIASTES 9:10

READ: EXODUS 3:1-12

[1]Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

[2]And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

[3]And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

[4]And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

[5]And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

[6]Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

[7]And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

[8]And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

[9]Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

[10]Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

[11]And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

[12]And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

Exodus 5:1

[1]And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

READ >> OPEN HEAVEN 20 FEBRUARY 2021

MESSAGE:

Yesterday, we established the fact that it is futile to help yourself when you need God to help you. If you read Exodus 2 till the end, you will see the consequence of Moses action.

When God knew that Moses had learnt some things from Jethro and that he was ready to accept His help. He stepped in and Moses became bold enough to confront Pharaoh.

You also need to understand that no knowledge is wasted. Every experience you acquire at any point in time will be useful for you in the future.

For instance, if you are living with someone today and the fellow seems to be harsh on you, giving you difficult chores to do, do them happily because it is all for your good.

Don’t throw away any chance to learn any new (good) thing because you never can tell when the experience will be needed. I’m sure Moses went through different drillings in Pharaoh’s house.

He would have been taught the Egyptian language, how to fight like a warrior, and settle disputes and how to survive harsh conditions especially during war. He also patiently learnt from God in the desert. All these experiences came in handy when he was to confront Pharaoh.

KEY POINT: No knowledge is wasted, learn patiently

HYMN 13: I’VE FOUND A FRIEND IN JESUS

1. I’ve found a friend in Jesus,
He’s everything to me.
He’s the fairest
of ten thousand to my soul;
The lily of the Valley,
in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse
and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort,
in trouble He’s my stay,
He tells me every care
on Him to roll: (Hallelujah!)

Chorus:
He’s the Lily of the Valley,
the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the Fairest of ten thousand
to my soul.

2. He all my griefs has taken,
and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong
and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken,
and all my Idols torn,
From my heart, and now
He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me,
and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely
reach the goal, (Hallelujah!)

3. He’ll never, never leave me,
nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith,
and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me,
I’ve nothing now to fear;
With His manna,
He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory,
to see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight
shall ever roll (Hallelujah!).
