RCCG HOUSE FELLOWSHIP MEMBERS’ MANUAL 14 FEBRUARY 2021

TOPIC: KINGS ARE NOT SAVED BY THEIR LARGE SEIZES OF THEIR ARMIES

MEMORY VERSE: “There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.” – Psalm 33:16

TEXT: 1 KINGS 20:1-21

INTRODUCTION: Benhadad, the king of Syria gathered thirty-two kings and their chariots to fight the king of Israel according to our today’s text, because he saw Israel to be small in size likewise her men of war. Little did he know that by going to mock Israel he was in turn mocking their God.

When the God of Israel stood up and fought against him, he came and pleaded for leniency. Romans 8:31 has this to say: “…if God be for us, who can be against us?” Nothing can be against you, if your trust is in God.

It does not matter your size, provided that God is on your side, you are on the path of victory. Please note this: Whether you are a secular king with a kingdom that you oversee or you are a King and Priest in God’s kingdom according to Revelation 1:6 and 5:10, note that one with God is majority.

THOSE THAT WERE DELIVERED IN WAR BY GOD IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR SIZES

1: GIDEON: He discomfited the Midianites with only three hundred men by God’s instruction. – Judges 7:2; 5-7

2: KING JEHOSHAPHAT: He appointed a praise team at the war front and by the time they finished singing, there was no war to fight. – 2 Chronicles 20:20-24

3: ABRAHAM: He went and rescued his nephew (Lot) with his 318 (three hundred and eighteen) trained men. – Genesis 14:5-17

On the contrary, when God departed from the camp of the Israelites because of Achan’s sin (Joshua 7:1-11); Despite the large size of the forces of Israel, they were utterly defeated by the small army of Ai.

CONCLUSION: It does not matter the small size of your army, you will surely defeat your adversary if you have God as your ally. However, God will only come to your aid if sin is not found in you or in your camp.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Thank the Lord for making you King and Priest unto Himself. – Revelation 1:6

TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING SPIRITUAL GIFTS

MEMORY VERSE: Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant” 1 Corinthians 12:1.

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 12:1-7.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: A spiritual gift is a special divine empowerment bestowed on a believer by the Holy Spirit to accomplish a given ministry. The gift is to be used in God’s way according to His grace and discernment within the context of the Body of Christ and to help the church execute her mission on earth.

The bible makes it clear that every genuine Christian is given spiritual gifts according to the Lord’s choice. Spiritual gifts can be given to us at salvation or/and cultivated through our walk with God.

READ >> OPEN HEAVEN 14 FEBRUARY 2021

OUTLINES-
1. Lists Of Spiritual Gifts
2. Talents And Spiritual Gifts Compared

LISTS OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS
Romans 12:3-8 lists the spiritual gifts as follows: prophecy, service (as deacon/deaconess), teaching, exhorting, generosity, leadership, and showing mercy.

1 Corinthians 12:8-11 lists the gifts as the word of wisdom (ability to communicate spiritual wisdom), the word of knowledge (ability to communicate practical truth), faith (unusual reliance upon God), the working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues (ability to speaking a language that one has not studied), and interpretation of tongues.

The third list is found in Ephesians 4:10-12, which speaks of the ministry gifts of the apostles, prophets evangelists, pastors and teachers.

You can seek a spiritual gift from God and be zealous after it by seeking to develop that area (1 Corinthians 12:31). However, if it is not God’s will, you will not receive a certain spiritual gift no matter how strongly you seek after it. It is also possible that the biblical lists are not exhaustive, that there are additional spiritual gifts beyond the ones the Bible mentions as witnessed in the body of Christ today

TALENTS AND SPIRITUAL GIFTS COMPARED

There are similarities and differences between talents and spiritual gifts. Both are gifts from God. Both grow in effectiveness with use. Both are Intended to be used on behalf of others, not for selfish purposes (1 Corinthians 12:7) Natural talents are often the vehicle through which spiritual gifts can be used.

On the other hand, natural talents are physical abilities to do special things, while spiritual gifts are spiritual abilities to do certain things. A person is given a natural talent as a result of a combination of genes: some have natural ability in music, art, mathematics, carpentry or mechanical aptitude and surroundings (Exodus 31:1-6).

However, Spiritual gifts are given to all believers by the Holy Spirit (Romans 12:3, 5) at the time they place their faith in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. A talent can be possessed by anyone (Christian or non-Christian), while spiritual gifts are only possessed by believers in Christ. The Holy Spirit gives to the believer the spiritual gifts He desires the believer to have (1 Corinthians 12:11).

While one may develop his talents and later direct his profession or hobby along those lines for personal gains, spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit for the building up of Christ’s church generally (Ephesians 4:12).

While both talents and spiritual gifts should be used for God’s glory and to minister to others (1 Peter 4:10), spiritual gifts are focused on these tasks, while talents can be used entirely for non –
spiritual purposes.

CONCLUSION: God is infinitely wise, and He knows through which gifts you will be most productive for His kingdom.

QUESTIONS
1. Mention the various types of spiritual gifts known to you.
2. What are the similarities and differences between spiritual gifts and talents?

OPEN HEAVEN 13 FEBRUARY 2021 MESSAGE

The relationship between God and man can be likened to that of a husband and his wife.

Paul confirms this when he enjoined husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church (Ephesians 5:25).

This is why God punishes anyone caught in spiritual adultery.

For example, He punished the Israelites in Judges 2:11,13-14:

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim: And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

Just like a man could be jealous over the relationship of his wife with another man, when we serve other gods besides Him, God becomes very jealous (Exodus 20:5).

The spiritual adultery committed by the children of Israel can be likened to the relationship between Hosea and Gomer – a professional harlot-turned-wife.

The patience of Hosea with Gomer (who was always going back to her whoredom like a dog that goes back to its vomit) also illustrates God’s patience with His people who court the friendship of the world.

(1 John 2:15) says:

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Our love cannot be shared between God and the temporary things of this world. Jesus confirms this in Luke 16:13, where He said:

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Attempting to love God and the world at the same time will lead to rejection and shame (Revelation 3:15-16).

Beloved, beware of spiritual adultery; as it would only lead to eternal damnation.

Stick to Jesus Christ, the lover of your soul.

1. Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
Hear me, blest Saviour, when I call;
Hear me, and from Thy dwelling place
Pour down the riches of Thy grace;

REFRAIN:
Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore;
O make me love Thee more and more.

How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how extol Thy matchless fame,
The glorious beauty of Thy name?

3. Jesus, what didst Thou find in me,
That Thou hast dealt so lovingly?
How great the joy that Thou hast brought
So far exceeding hope or thought!

4. Jesus, of Thee shall be my song,
To Thee my heart and soul belong;
All that I have or am is Thine,
And Thou, blest Saviour, Thou art mine.

MESSAGE:

A lot of believers claim to know Jesus, but does Jesus know them? Everyone can be Jesus’ friend. To be His friend, there are certain things you need to do.

One is that you need to spend quality time with Jesus through His word in prayer and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

This is because you cannot confidently call a fellow you don’t know your friend and you cannot know someone you don’t spend quality time with.

You also have to decide to stay with Jesus. Don’t fellowship with Him for a week and step back because if you draw back, He will have no pleasure in you (Hebrews 10:38).

You also have to do whatever His word commands you to do. When you obey His word, He’ll speak to you always. When you do these, not only will you know Him, you will also get the blessings attached to knowing Him.

No wonder Apostle Paul who had revelations and had written letters to some churches which attest to his knowledge of who Jesus is, still wanted to know more of Him.

One of the blessings of knowing Christ is that He’ll direct your path and you will have good success (Joshua 1:8).

REFLECTION: Does Jesus know you?

HYMN 20: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1. 1 we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
For the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
