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...

CENTRAL THOUGHTGod hates idolatry, therefore the believer must beware of it. HYMM: “ Hymn: I need thee every hour” TEXT: 1 COR.10:1-14; EX. 20:1-5; 32:1-6; NUM. 25:1-9.INTRODUCTION:The Almighty God created the entire universe and made man in His own image. God commanded man to worship Him and live in obedience to Him. Man was given control (authority) over other creatures and indeed they were all subject to him. However, man disobeyed God and thus fell from the exalted position given him by God. This loss of fellowship with God created a vacuum in man which yearns for satisfaction. In his attempt to live up with the spiritual or satisfy the vacuum inside of him, (rather than repent and return to God), man has decided to create images (idols) as worship objects and worship the creature instead of the Creator.Apart from images (idols), other things appear to take the place of God in the lives of men. Anything that takes the place of God in a man’s life is considered an idol in scriptures.In God’s dealings with Israel, He asked them constantly to do away idols. The same instruction is given to everyone today. The Almighty God is the only one who is to be worshipped. He alone deserves our...

Comments Off on WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE (1): LUSTING AFTER EVIL THINGS, AUGUST 16TH, 2026
HYMM: “ When we walk with the Lord…” CENTRAL THOUGHT Lusting after evil things hinders Christian growth and attracts severe consequences. TEXT: NUMBERS 11: 1-9; 1 COR 10:1-14; HEB 3:7-12. INTRODUCTION: It is a biblical and historical fact that after several years of slavery (bondage) in Egypt, the Lord God Almighty sent Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. With the crossing of the red sea, the children of Israel became free from the Egyptian bondage and began the journey to the land promised by God to their father- Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The journey to the promised land was a long one and full of many experiences. Some of these experiences form the basis of the Sunday School lessons in the next few weeks. The major aim of these series of lessons is to examine some of these experiences of Israel in the wilderness and draw (or appropriate) lessons from them as we live in this world. In this week’s lesson, we will examine how Israel lusted after evil things while moving through the wilderness to the promised Land. Lust usually implies a strong desire or urge to possess or have something at all cost even if possessing or obtaining that thing involves adopting methods that are contrary to God’s will. The journey from Egypt to the promised Land can be likened to the...

Comments Off on SEEK HIS GLORY (Part 2), AUGUST 9TH, 2026
CENTRAL THOUGHT God will not give His glory to another. HYMM: “Jesus, keep me near the Cross” God demonstrated how much He loved us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s”, 1 Corinthians 6:20. The believer, therefore, is expected to seek to please and give glory to God in every situation of life because He (God) created man and redeemed him from sin to his first state of glory. This should give hope to the believer; though his outward man perishes, yet his inner man is renewed day by day, 2 Corinthians 4:16, as he seeks God’s glory. Moreover, our present light affliction, which is for a short time, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 2 Corinthians 4:17. Thus the believer must endeavor to give God the glory due to His name because He does not give His glory to another (graven images, demons, etc.). This mindset is capable of attracting God’s blessings in all ramifications. BIBLE TRUTH: QUESTION 1.) WHAT IS GOD’S ATTITUDE TOWARDS HIS GLORY? ISAIAH 42:8, 48:11; EXODUS 20:45; DEUTERONOMY 4:24 In Exodus 20:3-5, the Almighty God instructed His people not make unto themselves and worship/serve any graven image...
