Central Thought: The Christian is led by the Spirit of God to be a righteous model to the world in all things. Hymn: “When We Walk With the Lord” Text: Daniel 6:1-5; Matthew 5:13-16; Romans 12:10-21 Today, we live in a world where evil is fast taking over in virtually every sphere of the society, and to live righteously is becoming old-fashioned to many. Evil is getting wider acceptance , and portends to be the norm in many climes. People who profess Christianity are sometimes caught up in this web, trying to feel the action. Genuine believers are terribly embarrassed by the response of peers and colleagues to issues of Godliness. Despite all these, the child of God still remains the mirror, the salt, the light and the hope of the world that is speedily marching on the path of damnation. He must shine as light on a table at night, and a city set on a hill. His conduct and lifestyle is Holy Spirit-driven, and his focus is on eternity. Lesson Objectives: To identify the guiding principles of Christian conduct. To give scriptural examples of good conduct. To identify conducts that the Christian must abhor.

Learn MoreCentral Thought: Those who allow the Lord to reign in their lives now will reign with Him during the millennium. Hymn: “There is a Land that is Fairer than Day” Text: Revelation 20:1-15 The word millennium is derived from two Latin words, ‘mille’ – meaning a thousand and ‘annus’ – meaning year. Millennium therefore means a thousand years and the millennial reign of the LORD Jesus Christ refers to the period of one thousand years when the LORD will reign physically over all the nations of the earth with His headquarters in Jerusalem. The millennial reign will be preceded by some vents revealed in the Scripture. These events include the rapture, the great tribulation, the judgement of the believers for rewards, the marriage super of the Lamb, etc. The hope of every Christian is to be with the LORD and to reign with Him in millennial splendor. When a Christian is going through trial, part of their sustaining joy emanates from the confidence in the promise of the LORD that He is coming back again to rule on the earth for a thousand years with His saints. However, to be able to reign with the Lord during the millennium, the Christian should have lived consistently for...

Learn MoreCentral Thought: Keeping our garments spotless before God guarantees our participation in the marriage feast of the Lamb. Hymn: “When the Trumpet of the Lord Shall Sound” Text: Revelation 19:1-10; Matthew 25:1-13 The Church comprises a people who have been called out from the life of sin and the influence of the kingdom of darkness, into a life of righteousness and the kingdom of the Son of God. To restore the original plan of God for humanity which is that man should have unbroken fellowship with God, this marriage of the Lamb establishes this unbroken fellowship, since the church shall by the marriage be in an eternal union with Christ. The marriage supper of the Lamb is thus, an event at which all believers of all ages, races, languages, and in all continents will be joined in marriage to Christ who is the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. With the marriage of the Lamb at which only those whose garments (hearts) are washed by the blood of Jesus will be allowed to participate thereof. There is the need for believers who want to be a part of the marriage supper of the Lamb to ensure that their lives are kept pure...
