RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENT’S MANUAL 10 JANUARY 2021

MEMORY VERSE: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1John 4:18.
BIBLE PASSAGE: ISAIAH 41:10-14
[10]Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
[11]Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
[12]Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
[13]For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
[14]Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
INTRODUCTION:
The Bible mentions two specific types of fear. First is the ‘fear of the Lord’ which is beneficial and is to be encouraged
(Josh.24:14; Ps.111:10). It is a reverential awe of God, a reverence for His power and glory. It is also a proper respect for His wrath and anger. The second type is harmful and is to be overcome (1John.4:18). It is to be afraid of
something or someone. The focus of this lesson is to learn how to deal with the detrimental type of fear.
1. Basic Constituents Of Detrimental Fear
2. Consequences Of Fear And How To Overcome
BASIC CONSTITUENTS OF DETRIMENTAL FEAR
Usually, the devil capitalises on our limited knowledge of the word of God and what the future holds for us (Jeremiah 29:10-11). The constituents of fear vary but usually include wild or negative imaginations (2 Kings 6:15
remembrance of a painful past event (Genesis 50:15-18); and a threat of harm (Genesis 20:9-11).
Fear is common among humans. The fear of; criticism (Matthew 26:69-73), losses (Job 3:25), old age (Psalm 71:9), ill-health/death (1 Kings 19:2-3), loneliness (Matthew 26:29), rejection (Genesis 32:3-8), failure/success (Proverbs 30:7-9) and defeat (1 Samuel 17:4, 10-11).
The Bible also reveals the close associates of fear: discouragement (Deuteronomy 1:21; Joshua 1:9); Anxiety (Philippians 4:6); Worry (Matthew 6;25-34); Panic (Deuteronomy 20:3-4); etc.
CONSEQUENCES OF FEAR AND HOW TO OVERCOME
When people live in constant fear, whether from physical danger in their environment or perceived threats, they can become incapacitated. Fear can cause emotional shock which is injurious to our health and can lead to
death (Genesis 32:7; 1Samuel 4:13-18). Medically, fear can weaken our immune system and can also cause cardio-vascular damages. It can cause gastro-intestinal problems such as ulcer, irritable bowel syndrome and decreased fertility. It can lead to accelerated ageing and pre-mature death. Spiritually, fear stifles our thinking and actions (Matthew 25:25). It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation (Exodus 14:10-13). It puts its victims in perpetual bondage and torments (Romans 8:15;1John 4:18). Fear may lead to failure, pain and destruction of destiny (Genesis 36-10,
Numbers 14:14). Fear creates doubt, blocks blessings and hinders prayer (James 1:6-8)
To overcome harmful fear, you must be sure of your salvation and stand firm in the faith (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:1). Put your trust in the Lord and rely on the leading of the Holy Spirit always (Psalm 1251-3; Proverbs 3:5-4). You need to confront your fears and refuse to be intimidated by the enemy, unfavourable
situations or negative circumstances. (Psalm 27:1, 3; 56:11). Above all, constantly
apply the word of God, engage in spiritual exercises and visualise the way out and
solution through the lens of the word of God (John 5:39; Colossians 3:16). Finally
strive to resist fear and break its hold over your heart (James 4:7; Revelations 12:11).
CONCLUSION: Fear cannot solve or improve but complicate situation. Reject every seed of fear and receive the spirit of courage and boldness (Proverbs 28:1)

2. What are the consequences of fear and the way out?

MEMORISE: It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. Ecclesiastes 5:5
READ: Ecclesiastes 5:1-4
1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
3 As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words.
4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.

MESSAGE:

Taking a vow and not fulfilling it is a deadly habit. Our memory verse says it to better not to vow than to vow and not fulfil it. Some people vow without having the means to pay up the vow. For instance, it will be foolish of a student to make a vow that is higher than his or her pocket money or one that would require giving up of school fees. At your stage, you should make a vow based on your capacity.
Some others make a vow, have the capacity to fulfil it but would rather not. This is because when they wanted something desperately, they
made vows in a hurry, without thinking of the means to fulfil it. Then, after God has played His part, they find it hard to play theirs. Some others forget about the vow completely. God does not joke. Think before you make a vow. If you have made any vow to God in the past and you are yet to fulfil it, do so today without further delay.
KEY POINT: It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfil it
HYMN 20: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1. When 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.
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.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JANUARY 2021 MEMORIZE: Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?. Ecclesiastes 5:6

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JANUARY 2021 BIBLE READING GENESIS 35:17-18

17. And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

18. And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni; but his father called him Benjamin.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JANUARY 2021 MESSAGE

Sometimes, our emotions overwhelm us so much that we say thing we don’t mean to in the heat of the moment.

In today’s Bible reading, Rachel called her last child ‘a child of sorrow’ because of the intense pain she went through to deliver him.

Thank God Jacob changed that name. You need to be very careful of what you say when you are sad, excited, angry or frustrated, because whatever you say may have permanent consequences.

Esau sold his birthright to his brother when he was hungry.

Be careful of the agreements you enter into when you are desperate, so that you don’t live to regret them.

Samson was head over heels in love with Delilah and because of this, he divulged the secret of his power to her.

You may not know it but the devil is watching you. He is taking note of your moods and emotions.

Once he notices that you always talk without restraint, he will set you up to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Judges 11:30-31 says:

And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.

In the passage above, the devil had seen the fear and doubt in Jephthah, so he suggested that Jephthah should promise God a sacrifice of anything he saw first upon his return.

Without thinking, Jephthah made that promise.

On getting home however, the devil arranged for his only daughter to be the one he saw first.

If only he had thought deeply about the vow before saying it!

Don’t become a victim of your own words; think carefully before you say anything.

If you find yourself at a family function and you have the opportunity to talk to your relatives, think carefully before you speak.

Don’t assume all of your family members are your friends; remember, Joseph was sold by his blood brothers because of the dreams he shared with them (Genesis 37:5-28).

God will help you.

MEMORISE: The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Romans 8:16

READ: Romans 8:14-17

14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 7 JANUARY 2021

MESSAGE:

An heir is a son or daughter to a king. This implies that the son or daughter has as many rights as the king. Sometimes, the heir to a kingdom Iives larger than the king himself. So, joint heirs with Christ are sons and daughters of God. Hence, all the power, rights and privileges that Jesus has, we have.

The implication of this is that a joint heir with Christ can perform miracles just the way Jesus did when on earth. Not Just that. the authority to cast out demons has also been given to us.

In addition to that, we have access to the Father we can call on Him anytime and He will answer. Unfortunately, some heirs are living like servants. When an heir in the kingdom of God allows sin to rule over him or her. such a person will live like a servant.

Sin robs an heir of his or her authority. If you are living like a servant, there is room for you to confess and repent today so that you can be restored to your true position as an heir.

REFLECTION:
Are you living like an heir or a servant?

HYMN 11: IN CHRIST ALONE MY HOPE IS FOUND

1. In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song,
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone! Who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on the cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.

3. There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

THEME: CONTENT?

MEMORISE: And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1 Timothy 6:8

READ: Ecclesiastes 5:10-12

He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?

The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 6 JANUARY 2021

MESSAGE:

Contentment means be satisfied with what one has. A contented child of God is grateful and happy with what God has done for him or her.

He or she also appreciates what God is doing in the lives of others. Therefore, Iack of contentment is is a sin because it is a sign of ingratitude to God for what He has done for you and others.

Sometimes, I fear for this generation; a lot of young ones lack contentment and want to make money by all means because they want to ‘live large’.

You would hear of a sixteen year old boy who wants to own a car, not just any car but a big one purchased with his money.

This has ledmany of them into crimes such as cyber crimes (yahoo plus), armed robbery, prostitution, et cetera.

Some get what they want but face the consequences of their ill-gotten wealth later. My child, there will be time for you to live large: then, it will be based on the hard work you have put into life.

The source of your wealth will be ‘legit’ and you will be in Christ. Believe me, only those who are in Christ can live large. But for now,
content with what you have.

KEY POINT:
Contentment gives peace.

HYMN 16: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!

2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm and changeless be,
A living fire!

3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide; i
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.

4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Savior, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
