RCCG Sunday School STUDENT Manual For March 24, 2019 : TOPIC - Submission

--> 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.

RCCG Sunday School STUDENT Manual For March 24, 2019 : TOPIC -  Submission 


TOPIC -  Submission 

MEMORY VERSE: “Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;” – 1 Peter 2:13 

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Peter 2:13-17 KJV 
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
LESSON INTRODUCTION:
God instituted certain authorities to coordinate various affairs on His behalf on earth (Rom. 13:1-2). Everyone is expected to submit to the governing authorities (1 Peter 2:13-17). Servants must submit to their masters (Col. 3:22; 1 Peter 2:18-21). Wives must submit in all their meekness to their husbands (Col. 3:18; 1 Peter 3:1-6). Children must submit to their parents (Exodus 20:12; Eph. 6:1-3). Ultimately, all of God’s creations (including authorities) must submit to God. Psalm 72:11; Isaiah 66:23.
OUTLINES
  1. WHY SUBMIT?
  2. CONSEQUENCES OF REBELLION
1. WHY SUBMIT?
Some people submit to authorities for diverse reasons ranging from personal gain, eye service, etc. However, reasons for Godly submission include the following
  1. God commanded it. Rom. 13:1-2; Heb. 13:17.
  2. It is an act of obedience and honour to God. Mark 14:36.
  3. To present ourselves as good examples. Phil. 2:5-9.
  4. To obtain grace from God. James 4:6.
  5. It establishes our lifting. 1 Peter 5:6.
  6. It ensures the believer’s victory. James 4:7.
2. CONSEQUENCES OF REBELLION
Rebellion is the opposite of submission and it is an act of insubordination or resistance to constituted authorities which could be motivated by pride, envy, hatred, etc. Rebellion comes with grave consequences. These include:
  1. Demolition (either temporary or permanent) Nebuchadnezzar was proud and he lived like a beast in the field for seven years. Daniel 4:30-33.
  2. Loss of authority and position. Vashti discountenanced her husband, the king and lost her position to Esther. Esther 1:11-12; 2:1-4
  3. Destruction. Pharaoh consistently disdained God and he perished together with His army in the Red Sea. Exodus 14:26-28: Psalm 135:8-9.
  4. Loss of destiny. Samson waved away the instructions of his parents and his life and destiny was cut short. Judges 14:1-3; 16;20-21.
  5. Ultimately death. Korah, Dathan and Abiram rebelled against the authority of God and were buried alive. Numbers 26:9-10; 1 Samuel 2:22; 4:10-11.
CONCLUSION: There is no authority that is without the knowledge of God (Rom. 13:1). Believers in Christ must therefore see submission to every authority as service to God.
QUESTIONS:
  1. Mention 3 reasons believers must submit to authority.
  2. Identity some Bible characters that rebelled and the consequences of their actions.
For Further Reading: 1 Samuel 15:23; Colossians 3:24; Galatians 6:9; Malachi 1:6.
ASSIGNMENT: Find out the penalties for failing to submit the following authorities.
i. Family/Parental Authority
ii. Pastor’s Authority
iii. Lecturers/Teachers Authority
iv. Traffic Authority
v. Tax Authority
vi. Court injunction/directive
vii. Immigration law
viii. God’s Commandment
ix. Holy Spirit directive
x. Electricity Regulations
