RCCG Sunday School TEACHER’s Manual For September 8, 2019, Lesson 2 : 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.

2 LESSON OUTLINES
LESSON OUTLINE 1: GOD’S GENERIC NAME
The word ‘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).
EL-chay “The living God” (Josh.3:10).
CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Class should mention other compound forms of God’s generic names known to them.
LESSON OUTLINE 2: GOD’S PERSONAL NAME
A. Teacher should explain that 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’ (Ex.3:13-14). In the compound from, we have:
Jehovah. Rapha “The Lord who heals” (Ex.15:26).
Jehovah Rohi “The Lord my Shepherd “(Ps.23:1).
Jehovah Tsidkenu “The Lord our righteousness” (Jer.23:6).
Jehovah Qadash “The Lord who sanctifies”(Lev.20:8).
Jehovah Nissi “The Lord my banner”(Ex.17:15).
Jehovah Shammah “The Lord is there” (Ezek.48:35).
Jehovah Sabaoth “The Lord of Host” (Isa.13:4).
Jehovah Jireh “The Lord who provides” (Gen.22:14).
Jehovah Shalom “The Lord my peace” (Judges 6:24).
B. 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.
CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Class should mention some circumstances of life and the names of God applicable to them.
SUMMARY: Knowing God’s name helps our act and art of worship.
CONCLUSION: Know the names of God and call Him by His names. He will surely answer for you.
EVALUATION: Students should state God’s personal names and their meaning.
CLOSING PRAYER: Father, let the power in Your name be effective in every situation of my life.
ASSIGNMENT: List five (5) life situations and the applicable names of God.
