CENTRAL THOUGHTAbiding in the Vine results in fruitfulness (John 15:5). HYMN: FADING AWAY LIKE THE SUN OF THE MORNING. INTRODUCTION: In our society, much emphasis is placed on physical fitness, but spiritual well-being is even more important. The society also places undue emphasis on material acquisitions, positions, titles, and appearance in assessing the individual.But the God we serve “…. Seeth not as man seeth…. But looketh on the heart” ( 1 Samuel 16:7). Therefore, those the world regard as VIP’s or “significant” may not necessarily be seen as such by our Righteous God.God has a plan and purpose for everyone’s life; which can only be actualized in Christ Jesus. God’s perfect will is that those “who believe and know the truth” should individually (and collectively) live a life of significance that will impact their day, the time and world. LESSON OBJECTIVESThe objectives of this study are:1.To understand the phrase “a life of significance”.2.To appreciate God’s provision for our lives to be significant.3.To comprehend how we can make our lives significant. BIBLE TRUTHQ1. WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND BY THE PHRASE “A LIFE OF SIGNIFICANCE?”The word significance means the importance of something, especially when it has an effect on what happens in the future; it is something that is large enough...

CENTRAL THOUGHTThanksgiving is appreciating GOD for His blessings. HYMN: PRAISE MY SOUL, THE KING OF HEAVEN TEXT: Genesis 4:2-7; Psalm 92:1-3; Luke 17:12-19 INTRODUCTIONIt is good to give thanks unto the Lord. An act of thanksgiving from a recipient of a favor naturally gladdens the heart of the one who had demonstrated the act of kindness or favor. It is really good and pleasing to give thanks unto the Lord, but our insatiable and greedy nature hardly allows us see reasons to give thanks to God. Sometimes, we allow a seemingly unanswered prayer or unrealized ambition to becloud our brow. When we realize that we exist by the grace of God, we will then understand that giving thanks to God is a necessity. We do not favor to God when we give Him thanks. He does not need us to exist; but without Him, we cannot exist. It behooves us therefore, to give Him thanks always for our existence. Apart from this, there are innumerable reasons why we need to give God thanks; for example, the salvation of our soul, which also is a free gift from God. The Scripture clearly made us to understand that everything that pertains to life and godliness have been given to us by...

CENTRAL THOUGHT“…. holiness without which no manshall see the LORD”. Heb 12:14 HYMN: NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE TEXT: 1 Peter 1:13-17 INTRODUCTIONHoliness is one of the major themes of the Bible. It is in fact the very nature of God. He is completely and totally holy. His presence carries with it HIS holiness. HIS presence therefore in any life brings HIS holiness into that life. Thus, dwelling in HIS presence means beholding and reflecting HIS holiness. The individual who so dwells in His presence is commanded in scripture to be holy even as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16).It is our walk-in holiness that reveals the presence of God in our lives to the world. Holiness can only come from God. It is not a process of reformation that comes with an individual making up his mind at the end of the year to live by some moral resolutions in the ensuing new year. Holiness is God’s nature imparted to man through the LORD JESUS CHRIST bythe working of the HOLY SPIRIT.It is therefore of utmost importance and necessity that the believer in CHRIST must dwell in God’s holiness. LESSON OBJECTIVESThe objectives of this study are:1.) To make us understand what holiness is and what it means to...
