CENTRAL THOUGHTThe believer should not murmur against or Christian leaders. Hymn: “Christian, seek not yet repose.” TEXT: EX.15:22-24; 16:12; 17:3; 1 COR.10:1-12; NUM.14:2-4; 27-39. INTRODUCTION:This 5th lesson under the series Wilderness Experiences focuses on murmuring, one of the negative traits displayed by Israel in the wilderness as they journeyed towards the promised land.Israel murmured against God and His appointed leaders. Among things, they murmured over food, water, etc. A major occasion on which they murmured was when ten of the twelve spies sent by Moses brought an evil report about the promised land. The people murmured and accused God of bringing them into the land to kill them. According to them “…Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died inthis wilderness! …… were it not better for us to return into Egypt?And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.” (Num.14:2-4).

CENTRAL THOUGHT  Sexual immorality robs the believer of peace and attracts God’s Judgement.  HYMN: “I gave my life for thee.”  TEXT: EX.20:14; NUM.25:1-13; 1 COR.10:1-11  INTRODUCTION:   This third lesson in the series “Wilderness Experiences” focuses on sexual immorality. In their journey toward the promised land, the children of Israel encountered many enemies. A major aim of these enemies was to destroy them and prevent them from actualizing God’s plan for them. The Moabites were one of such enemies. Moabites were counseled by Balaam that the only way they could get Israel to offend God was to make them commit sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab. The Moabites then invited Israel to their ungodly feasts (sacrifices) and the men of Israel committed whoredom with the daughters of the land. This brought God’s judgement upon Israel and twenty four thousand (24,000) of them died in one day.  Sexual immorality still remains a major way the enemy tempts believers today. Sexual immorality robs the believer of his spiritual strength and removes the lid of God’s protection over him thus making him a prey to the enemy. The believer must therefore be careful so that he doesn’t become a victim of the enemy’s plans/strategies.  BIBLE TRUTH:   QUESTION 1.) WHAT IS THE MEANING OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY?  Sexual immorality in biblical/ Christian counter refers to a deviation...
