RCCG Sunday School TEACHER’s Manual For July 21, 2019 Lesson 47 : Topic – The Second Coming Of Christ

--> 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 July 21, 2019 Lesson 47 : Topic  – The Second Coming Of Christ



TOPIC: The Second Coming Of Christ
OPENING PRAYER: Father, help me to keep watching and waiting for your coming. 
BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Thessalonian 4:13-18 KJV 
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
MEMORY VERSE: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” – John 14:3 (scroll down for RCCG Sunday School 21 July 2019 HYMN)
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Acts 1:10-11 describes the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ as being personal, bodily, visible and with power. The second coming of our Lord will be in like manner. It will be in two stages: The rapture which is secret (1 Thess. 4:15-17), when the Lord comes for His saints and we meet Him in the air and the revelation that is public (Rev. 1:7), when the Lord comes with His saints to set up the millennium (1 Thess. 3:13). The time of His coming is a secret only God knows. (Matt. 24:36).

v. The remaining living at Hus second coming will also rise to meet the Lord in the air upon hearing the shout and the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God. 1 Thess. 4:16.
vi. This word of hope is for believers who have hope in the ultimate salvation through Christ. 1 Thess. 4:15.
vii. Those who have no hope in Christ really need to be sorrow in repentance and accept the provision of God for salvation. 1 Thess 4:14; 2 Cor. 7:9-10.
