RCCG Sunday School STUDENT Manual For September 8, 2019 : TOPIC - The Names of God

--> 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 September 8, 2019 : TOPIC - The Names of God



MEMORY VERSE: “Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.” – Psalm 148:13 
BIBLE PASSAGE: Psalm 148:1-13 KJV 

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Worshipping and praising God become glorious when believers call God by His names. The names do God used in the bible also also act as a roadmap to learning about His character. God’s names also reveal His true nature to us. His nature and character remain constant through all generations. The names of God help us experience how majestic God is, how deeply He loves us and what He can do for us. Knowing the names of God will help us to put our trust in Him. (Ps.9:10; Pro.18:10).
TWO OUTLINES
  1. GOD’S GENERIC NAME
  2. GOD’S PERSONAL NAME
1. GOD’S GENERIC NAME.
‘ELOHIM’ translated as GOD (Gen.1:1), is derived from the Hebrew word ‘EL’ which means strength or might, is generic (comprehensive) name of God. The compound form of ‘EL’ can be seen in the following manes among others:
EL-gibbowr “Might God” (Isa.9:6)
EL-elyown “The Most High God” (Gen.14:18-20; Eccl.5:8).
EL-gadowlwaw yare “The Great and Terrible God” (Deut.7:21).
EL- Shaddy”The Almighty God “(Gen.17:1).
EL-‘elohey Yisras’el ” The God of Israel “(Gen.33:20).
EL-owlam “The everlasting God” (Gen.21:33).
El-aman “The faithful God” (Deut.7:9.
EL-qannow “The jealous God” (Josh.24:19).
EL-ro’iy “The God who sees”(Gen.16:13).
EL-channuwmwawrachuwn ” The gracious and merciful God”(Jonah 4:2).
EL-qadowsh “God the holy one” (Josh.24:19).
2. GOD’S PERSONAL NAME
Yahweh or Jehovah is the personal name of God. It is not a title like ‘Adonai’ translated ‘Lord'(Jer.33:2, Ps.110:1). It is the same name by which God introduced Himself as ‘I AM THAT I AM’ (Exodus 3:13-14). In the compound from, we have:
  1. Jehovah Rapha “The Lord who heals” (Ex.15:26).
  2. Jehovah Rohi “The Lord my Shepherd” (Ps.23:1).
  3. Jehovah Tsidkenu “The Lord our righteousness” (Jer.23:6).
  4. Jehovah Qadash “The Lord who sanctifies”(Lev.20:8).
  5. Jehovah Nissi “The Lord my banner”(Ex.17:15).
  6. Jehovah Shammah “The Lord is there” (Ezek.48:35).
  7. Jehovah Sabaoth “The Lord of Host” (Isa.13:4).
  8. Jehovah Jireh “The Lord who provides” (Gen.22:14).
  9. Jehovah Shalom “The Lord my peace” (Judges 6:24).
Believers expecting God’s manifestation in any situation or circumstances should worship Him by calling Him His names attributed to that situation. For instance, God should be worshipped as Jehovah Jireh when one is in need of divine provisions.
CONCLUSION: Know the names of God and call Him by His names. He will surely answer for you.
