TRUST, May 3rd 2020

CENTRAL THOUGHT The hearts of those who have learned to rely on the Lord for everything are free from anxiety.   HYMN: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD TEXT: Prov. 3:1-18 INTRODUCTION The dictionary defines trust as “a firm belief in the reliability, honesty, veracity, justice and strength of a person or thing”. Essentially then, trust is confidence that we have about a person or thing. There is a tendency to think that trust is a spiritual quality which pertains strictly to our relationship with the Lord, but it is an essential posture of life that is called upon for day to day living. It would be very difficult to successfully go through a single day without exercising an element of trust. Relationships between people in corporate, family, and social worlds are governed by trust. When trust is lacking, suspicion takes the center stage and the relationship falls apart. Our relationship with the Lord depends largely on our ability to trust Him and His word. Trust in the Lord must be implicit, complete and total. This is the most important kind of trust and it exceeds the trust that governs human relationships. When we trust Him, then we are able to exercise faith to believe Him in all situations. Trust is commonly betrayed in the corporate world and in relationships. These betrayals, which are the outcome of the fall of man, tend to cloud our trust in God and fellow beings. Many times, we make rash decisions never to trust fellow humans because of betrayals that we have experienced from the hands of others including some Christians. The Lord Jesus was betrayed by one from among his 12 disciples, yet he never vowed not to have anything to do with man. If He did, none of us will be saved today. One of the most unsung virtues of our late Archbishop Idahosa, which those who worked closely with him know, is trust in fellow believers. It is this trust, which was betrayed many times, that allowed many new talents and potentials to come to the limelight, thereby positively impacting the body of believers. We can all imitate this virtue. LESSON OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are: To know the meaning of trust To know where and how to direct our trust To know that trust in fellow humans must be predicated on our trust in the Lord To know how not to betray trust To know how to respond when our trust is betrayed To know the blessings of living a life of trust in God BIBLE TRUTH Q1. WHAT IS TRUST? Trust has to do with confidence, dependence, hope, reliance in a person or thing. To some extent, it is inherent in every being. We exercise trust quite frequently without being conscious of it. Many times, in a single day we sit on various number of chairs under different circumstances without thoroughly questioning the ability of these chairs to uphold us. Trusting in the Lord is having confidence in Him and in the integrity of His word. In the same way that we childishly sit on those chairs without asking who their designers are or checking to see that all their legs are in place, so we need to childishly have confidence in the Lord. No wonder...

LOVING JESUS, April 26th, 2020

LOVING JESUS, April 26th, 2020

  CENTRAL THOUGHT Loving Christ is the pre-requisite to a fulfilled life. HYMN: MY JESUS I LOVE THEE Text: John 14:15-24, 1 John 4:7-21, 5:1-5 Introduction: Love is a strong feeling of fondness for another person, especially between members of a family or close friends. It is also to feel love, desire or strong friendship for, and to have strong liking for, or take pleasure in something or someone (Longman dictionary of contemporary English). The Bible could be seen as one big love story Book about God’s family (Mat. 22:37-40). That God loves us is evident in John 3:16, Rom. 5:8 says, “But God commendeth His love toward us that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. Therefore, if Christ died for us it behooves us to reciprocate by responding to His love in total submission, obedience and sincere services. It is unfortunate to observe that there are many people today who have not responded to this love. They believe in Him in a certain sense but they have never really experienced deep in their hearts how warm, real, tender, loving and gracious He really is. It is because their hearts are so fondly wrapped around the earthly ream. To love the Lord, there must be a fervent and sincere desire to know Him, fellowship with him, study his word/keep his commandments as well as loving one another. In this lies true peace and joy; God’s blessings, fulfillment and above all eternal life. It is important to know that despising this gesture of divine offer attracts untold disaster.   LESSON OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are: 1. To know that God first loved us. 2. To know what it means to love Jesus. 3. To know the effect of loving Jesus. 4. To know the dangers of ignoring Christ’s love.   Q1. HOW DID GOD SHOW HIS LOVE TOWARDS US? God is love (1 John. 4:8). In His love for man at creation, the first man (Adam) was placed in the comfort of the garden of Eden to enjoy his life with definite instruction not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, else he would die. In the process of time because man chose to disobey God as a consequence he died spiritually. As a result, death passed upon mankind (Romans 5:12, 15). But God in His infinite mercy and love sent His only begotten Son, who willingly and sacrificially paid the full price for our redemption with His own precious blood. (Eph. 2:1-9, Heb. 10:4-5). God freely gave His Son as his righteous love gift for the salvation of a world of sinners. This adequately met the redemptive need of mankind. God showed us His love in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for all. Q2. WHAT IS IMPLIED BY “LOVE FOR JESUS”? Knowing that Christ demonstrated His love towards us by His sacrificial death even while we were yet in sin (Rom. 5:8), we need to willingly reciprocate this gesture of love in a number of ways. Firstly, we must acknowledge Him as Lord (1 Jn. 5:1). By this we must accept His sole lordship and accord Him the due worship and reverence. Secondly, we must believe in the testimony of the Father concerning Him- His death...

JUSTIFICATION, April 19th, 2020

JUSTIFICATION, April 19th, 2020

  CENTRAL THOUGHT Justification is God’s act of declaring us “not guilty”, of our sins. HYMN: AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND Text: Romans 4:25, 5:1-11, 18 Introduction: By the act of justification, the Lord Jesus Christ ushers us into the presence of God. We now have peace with God: not merely a subjective feeling (peace of mind), but primarily an objective status, a new relationship with God: once we were His enemies, but now we are His friends (see Romans 5:10; Eph. 2:16, Col. 1:21-22). Once we were separated from Him, now we are joined (united) (Phil. 2:1, Rom. 6:5) with Him by Christ. The Almighty God declares, “not guilty”, all that would run into Christ. In Num. 21:8-9, the Holy scriptures recorded the “strange” cure to snake bite that the children of Israel were receiving. A bronze snake was hung on the pole; anyone who was bitten by a snake and looked at it lived. The Lord Jesus Christ brought a fuller meaning to this event in Johh 3:14, 15, where he explained that just as the Israelites were healed of their sickness by looking at the snake on the pole, all believers today can be saved from sickness of sin by looking to Jesus’ death on the cross (another pole). It was not the bronze snake that healed the people but their belief that God could heal them. This belief in the Sovereign One is demonstrated in simple obedience to His instructions. Because the Lord is holy, and unlimited, His actions do not have to fall into our extremely limited, temporal, and evil mind. In His infinite mercy, wisdom and justice, He sets everyone free that looks up to Jesus Christ for salvation, and when he does, He declares that the individual is Righteous! His past is not remembered before God. And if he continues in Christ, He will never be remembered as a sinner. This is only possible with One most holy, most knowing, most loving, and merciful, and most just (Ez. 18:21-23). The whole of human existence should ponder on this point. God’s love is neither static nor self-centered. It reaches out and draws us in. His perfect love caused Him to be merciful to those who recognize their sin and turn back to Him, but He cannot wink at those willfully sinning (people who harden their hearts in disbelief and fear of believing the truth of God’s word). They would die both physically and spiritually. God takes no joy in these deaths; He would prefer that they turn to Him and have eternal life. Any day as long as the time still remains (see Is. 55:6, Jer. 29:13), anyone that looks to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation would be declared, “not guilty” by God.   LESSON OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are: 1. To know how God justifies man 2. To know why God justifies man 3. To understand how justification is the work of Grace alone 4. To understand the roles of works in justification   Bible Truth Q1. HOW DOES GOD JUSTIFY MAN? 1 Cor. 6:9-11, 2 Cor. 5:15, Acts 13:38-39, Luke 18:9-14 Through the Lord Jesus Christ, the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to us. Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything that we could not...

THE LIVING HOPE, April 12th, 2020

Posted by on 11:58 am in Sunday School | Comments Off on THE LIVING HOPE, April 12th, 2020

THE LIVING HOPE, April 12th, 2020

  CENTRAL THOUGHT Hope based on the power of the risen Christ is a sure and unfailing one. HYMN: CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN TODAY   Text: 1 Corinthians 15:12-58 Introduction: The resurrection of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the basis of the Christian faith. Its acceptance as an event of history provides the foundation for having faith in the scriptures and for living and dying for the truth of the scriptures. Without the resurrection of Christ, there is no Christianity. Without the resurrection of Christ, there can be no guarantee of a life after death. It thus gives hope to our beliefs. People have all kinds of hopes and expectations, there are those who at the moment are penniless, but who hope that in not too distant time they will have the financial resources to build a house and buy a good car. Others have the expectation that they will acquire a university degree, and still others dream of the day that they will have a very lucrative job. While everyone has a right to have hope or expectation on anything the human mind can dream about, there are hopes which will not materialize and thus bring disappointment, and there are those that will be fulfilled. The hope of all believers of an eternal home of bliss and of rewards for all good done in the name of Christ is predicated on the resurrection of Christ. Because Christ rose from the dead, the believers hope shall someday be a reality. The hope generated by the resurrection in the hearts of the believers continues to provide the drive and motivation for faithful and unalloyed service and commitment to God and the well-being of humanity. LESSON OBJECTIVES The objectives of this lesson are to know, understand, consider and appreciate: To know that the resurrection of Christ is a fact of history. To appreciate that there can be no veritable faith in Christ without a warm embrace of the resurrection of Christ. To know the benefits of the resurrection of Christ. To know how the hope generated by the resurrection can stimulate a dynamic Christian service.   Bible truth: Q1. HOW IS THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST A FACT OF HISTORY? John 20:1-17 Efforts of many uneducated men and women philosophers, scientists’ historians, literary generals, etc. to erase the fact of the resurrection of Christ from the minds of people past and present and to present it as a figment of the imagination of the followers of Christ have not only met with woeful failure, but in some instances, made more converts to Christ. That is because the resurrection is at heart of anyone that fully appropriates it with a divine glow. All four gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John penned the events of the man Jesus Christ who went everywhere on the shores of the Palestine doing good, healing the sick and delivering all those that were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). After 3 ½ years of such unique ministry, the hatred, jealously, and indignation of the Jewish religious leaders had welled up to the point that they felt they had to get rid of Him. They framed charges which they could neither defend nor substantiate against Jesus and urged the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate to attend...

THE SUFFERING OF GOD’S SERVANT, April 5th, 2020

Posted by on 7:12 pm in Sunday School | Comments Off on THE SUFFERING OF GOD’S SERVANT, April 5th, 2020

THE SUFFERING OF GOD’S SERVANT, April 5th, 2020

CENTRAL THOUGHT Jesus Christ was made God’s suffering servant when He died on the cross for man’s redemption. HYMN: I GAVE MY LIFE FOR THEE   Text: Isaiah 52:54 (Reading Text: Isaiah 53:1-12 Introduction: Right from the time of creation and especially after the disobedience of Adam, God devised a plan to redeem man from the effect of his disobedience. The price of sin is death for without the shedding of blood there is no remission. In the Old Testament sin was atoned for in various ways and sacrifices of different types of animals prescribed by the mosaic laws. These sacrifices had a shortfall as they could not both atone and wash clean man’s heart. Consequently, God raised His servant, Jesus Christ and delivered Him to an astonished world, astonished because of His underserved suffering and humiliation, and because of the dramatic end. The scriptures reveal that He bore the punishment due to others voluntarily in obedience to the voice of God who call Him. The prophet Isaiah declares unequivocally “surely he has borne our griefs and carried away our sorrow …he was wounded for our transgression he was bruised for our inequities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we 21a0re healed”, Isaiah 53:4-5. Even when He received a no-case submission from Pilate, it pleased God in His good counsel, to make Him the sacrificial lamb for the redemption of man. Never in the history of mankind was it known for someone to be so cruelly treated for the sake of others. His executioners acted ignorantly being motivated by the devil himself, 1 Corinthians 2:8. He was humiliated beyond recognition and sentenced to a capital punishment meant for criminals. But by His resurrection He emerged the only Way, Truth and Life. Based on what He has accomplished for humanity, God gave Him a name above all other names, Philippians 2:9. It becomes pertinent that man ought to appreciate this gesture and identify with Him by accepting Him as Lord and Savior, abiding in His word continually so as to enjoy with Him in His glory. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are: To identify God’s suffering servant. To know why he has made a man of sorrow. To highlight the features of his suffering. To understand how we an identify with him. To emphasize what awaits those who reject him.   Q1. WHO IS THIS GOD’S SUFFERING SERVANT? When the first Adam (who was earthly) brought transgression and death to humanity, there was need for another Adam (who was of heavenly origin and one that would live above sin) to redeem man from bondage of sin and corruption. All through the Biblical period humanity waited patiently for this man who will be the Messiah. This was only made known at the visitation of Angel Gabriel to Joseph in a dream, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: For he shall save the people from their sins”, Matthew 1:21. John the Baptist also introducing Christ to those around him declared, “Behold, the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world”, John 1:29. Thus Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah (Savior). Nowhere in the scriptures is there a clear description of this process of saving...

DEDICATION AND LOYALTY, March 29th, 2020

DEDICATION AND LOYALTY, March 29th, 2020

CENTRAL THOUGHT Dedication and loyalty are attributes which God expects of every believer. Text: 1 Thess. 2:1-20, Jer. 35:1-19 Introduction: Dedication means giving of or devoting our time, energy and resources to a cause or a purpose, belief or person. For the believer, dedication is unto God and this involves a whole hearted commitment to Him, His word, work and people. Loyalty on the other hand means to be true and faithful to a cause, purpose, idea or person. To us as believers it involves our total obedience and submission to the will and purposes of God, Jesus said “ I must work the works of Him who sent me….(John 9:4). He was loyal to His Father. So we must be to the Lord. People could be dedicated to a cause out of compulsion, for eye-service, or for vain and self-glory. Thus we see that even when the purpose of such a cause or person is not too clear or fully understood, some people still follow blindly giving their time, talent, and other resources. God does not desire us to follow Him blindly, or without a clear motive or purpose. In fact, He desires us to follow Him with a clear conscience and understanding. In this way, we open ourselves up for His infinite blessings. Ignorance has made some believers to form the habit of giving God their leisure time instead of seeking first His kingdom and righteousness. Some have become seasonal Christians exhibiting an uncaring attitude towards the things of God. He expects His people to be fully dedicated and loyal to Him at all times so that He can manifest His glory through His chosen treasures. The prophets and the early Church that lived a victorious life were dedicated and loyal even unto death. We must have the same mind in order to live a victorious Christian life. LESSON OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are:  To know that God expects us to be fully dedicated and loyal to Him always.  To know that dedication is essential for Christian maturity. To know the areas in which we must demonstrate loyalty and dedication.  To know that half-hearted dedication is unacceptable to God.  To know that the Holy Spirit cannot operate in a person or group that lacks dedication and loyalty.  To know that dedication and loyalty opens the door for unlimited blessings from God. Q1. HOW IMPORTANT ARE DEDICATIO AND LOYALTY IN CHRISTIAN GROWTH AND MATURITY? Dedication and loyalty are two characteristics that we must have if we be faithful to God. They are also a mark of Christian maturity. Dedication ensures that we are wholly given to God and His word. When we are dedicated to our faith as believers then we will not need to be pushed to serve God. We know and find it absolutely important to be in full service for the Lord. We will not need to be told to study the Scriptures, spend meaningful time in prayers and be active. In the house of the Lord. By giving ourselves and all that is ours to the service of God and the Church, we find tremendous strength in God that enables us to grow. We graduate quickly from just “taking milk to eating real meat”. There is no way we can grow if...

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY, March 22nd, 2020

Posted by on 5:05 am in Sunday School | Comments Off on INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY, March 22nd, 2020

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY, March 22nd, 2020

  CENTRAL THOUGHT God deals with us as individuals.   HYMN: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD Text: Ezekiel 18:1-32   INTRODUCTION This lesson addresses two classes of people, God’s children and unbelievers. First, as God’s children we must know and be conscious of the fact that we are individually responsible for our actions while alive here on earth. Again, every man is morally responsible and liable to God’s judgement. An old and common deception from the devil has been the thought that we could inherit Christianity from our parents. Just as the son of a University cannot inherit his father’s degrees and positions by merely being a son, a pastor’s son cannot inherit his father’s faith by merely being a son; and no one becomes a Christian by belonging to a “Christian family”. If a child follows the ways of his father he may live like the father. But primarily, as human beings, the Lord has given a vital law that overwrites an old one. The old adage described the old law: “The fathers ate some grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge” (Ez 18:2). This saying was stopped and with a divine oath, revealing God’s unalterable intention, the Lord stated that henceforth, the soul who sins is the soul who will die. No more would the children’s teeth be set on edge for sour grapes eaten by their fathers or even forefathers as the case may be. The implications of this are many, and in this lesson, we shall attempt to look at these many implications to the Christians as well as to the unbeliever.   LESSON OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are: 1. To understand that individuals are responsible for their actions before God. 2. To know why each must account for his behavior. 3. To understand the implications of individual responsibility. 4. To know how long the righteous must remain in his righteousness in order to be justified on the last day.   Bible Truth: Q1. INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITIES – WHAT IT MEANS? This phrase simply means that it is for a man’s own sins that he will die. Also, it is for a man’s goodness that he will live. A father won’t be punished for his son’s sins, and the son shall not be punished for his son’s sins. And the son shall not be punished for his fathers. The good person will be rewarded for his own goodness. And the wicked person will be punished for his wickedness. This reversal of the old situation, the Lord said, is for fairness! (Ez 18:2, 3, 29). The Lord will punish or reward each according to his own actions. He does not enjoy seeing the sinner die. And He does not want people to suffer for the wrong of others, not even people from the same family. In the beginning, a man was made. And man remains a separate, single entity. The awareness of the singleness of man is manifested first at birth, then in many important times in the life of an individual (i.e. in decision-making situations… essentially, an individual has to live his life!) and then at death. Even twin babies are born separately; there is no two individuals that are completely identical. There is usually a difference that makes an individual...
