RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENTS MANUAL LESSON SIX (6): Topic - DEDICATION

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

LESSON SIX (6): DEDICATION [SUNDAY OCTOBER 8TH, 2017]

MEMORY VERSE: ‘’Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” – John 4:34

BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Corinthians 11:22-31

INTRODUCTION:

Dedication is an act of setting apart or consecration of a thing or being to a deity. Christians are expected to be devoted wholly and earnestly to God and the purpose for which He has called them. Our Lord Jesus Christ was dedicated to His course for living, so also were the prophets and apostles of old (John 4:34). You too must prove to God that you are dedicated to Him.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. What is dedication?

2. It calls for self-discipline

WHAT IS DEDICATION?

Dedication is the yearning desire in the Christian that makes him/her spend all it costs to ensure that the work is completely done (2Corinthians 12:15). When others have retired or tired, he/she wants to see that the work is done. He will always say, “having done all, I stand”… (Ephesians 6:13). It is the will to want to pray often, fast often, watch often and even die daily for Christ’s sake (1Thessalonians 5:17; 1Corinthians 15:31; 2Corinthians 11:14-18). It is a godly desire to keep pressing forward no matter what, running with patience the race that is set before us until the victory is won (Philippians 3:13-14; Hebrews 12:1), knowing that the race is not a fast/short one like a hundred metre dash but a marathon.

IT CALLS FOR SELF DISCIPLINE

Dedication calls for a high degree of self-discipline or control. When others want to quit, it takes the dedicated to continue, knowing that “winners don’t quit and quitters don’t win” (1Corinthians 9:24-27). He is therefore, a champion, that is one who remains fighting consistently even when the battles are over (Romans 8:37-39, Philippians 1:27). The dedicated must have control over his passions, tongue and flesh if he is to finish well and strong (Proverbs 16:32; James 3:2; Romans 6:12).

CONCLUSION:

We have just studied one of the cardinal virtues that must be found in a heaven-bound Christian. Dedication is not impossible for the Christian who has the enabling grace of Christ flowing in his veins. Pray for this divine ability today and it shall be yours in Jesus’ Name.

QUESTIONS:

1. What exactly is dedication?

2. Mention what it involves to be dedicated.
