RCCG Sunday School TEACHER’s Manual For June 23, 2019 : Lesson 43 : Topic – Know Your Enemy

--> 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 23 June 2019 Lesson 43 – Know Your Enemy


TOPIC: Know Your Enemy
OPENING PRAYER: Father, deliver me from every deceit of Satan in Jesus’ name. 
BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Peter 5:8-9 KJV
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
MEMORY VERSE: “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” – 2 Corinthians 11:14 
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Every military commander tries to find out as much of the enemy as possible. This is why he always sends to collect information about the enemy (Numbers 13:17; Joshua 2:1). Similarly, knowledge of our adversary is very precious to us since we too are engaged in life long battle with the devil. That enemy (adversary) is Satan or the devil.
TEXT REVIEW: 1 PETER 5:8-9.
The truth in this passage about Satan’s mission are:i. Satan is believers’ adversary. Verse 8
ii. Satan is walking to and fro, here and there, restless. Verse 8.

The solutions to his wiles and missions are as follows:i. Believers are to be sober. V.8.
ii. Believers are to be vigilant. V.8.
iii. Believers are to resist him (Satan) steadfastly. V.9.
