RCCG Sunday School TEACHER’s Manual For March 3, 2019 : Lesson 27, Topic– Complete Eyesight

--> 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 TEACHER’s Manual For  March 3, 2019 : Lesson 27, Topic– Complete Eyesight



TOPIC - Complete Eyesight
OPENING PRAYER: Father, open my eyes that i may behold wondrous things out of your law. 

MEMORY VERSE: “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” – Psalms 119:18 
BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Kings 6:13-17 KJV (RCCG Sunday School TEACHER’s Manual 3 March 2019)
13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
LESSON INTRODUCTION:
A man is incomplete without his eyesight. He finds it difficult to dominate or fulfill purpose(s). Gen 1:28. The eye is a very important part of the body because it is the body’s camera. In addition to vision, the eye also provides depth perception and contributes to the man’s balance. Matt. 6:22.
TEXT REVIEW: 2 Kings 6:13-17 -“THE SIEGE IS OVER”.
The night siege at Elisha’s lodge at Dothan by the King of Syria teaches, among other lessons, the power of “spiritual sight” in conquest.
The two(2) dramatis personae in the story represent two groups of people with two different eye sight:
The first group of people are those who could only see the barrage of problems just because they are only physically sensitive (2 Kings 6:15). For instance, Elisha’s servant response to the situation at hand was expressed in terror of fear. He said “Alas! How can we do?” i.e. How can we fight this host of chariots and horses. 2 Kings 6:15
The second category represents those who are both physically and spiritually sensitive. These people can see the light at the end of the tunnel. They could see the big problem doesn’t stand where the “the big God ” is present. The servant saw “Horses and Chariots”. But Elisha saw “Horses and Chariots of fire”. 2 Kings 6:17. Elisha did not see fear, he saw victory instead and he said to his servant, “Fear not”.
His simple prayer of faith changed the situation, “Lord, i pray thee, open his eyes” (2 Kings 6:17) and the boy saw what his master saw that made him to say “Fear not”.
The servant’s new experience was soon vindicated. He saw the superior power of his master over the local champions. They never tried such ridiculous siege on Elisha again because they were blindfolded and led to the center of their enemy’s camp who could have killed them but saved them. They never returned after they escaped (2 Kings 6:18-23). Those sieges in your life will never return again in Jesus’ name.
