TOPIC: You Are Important
OPENING PRAYER: Father, open my heart to know how important I am.
MEMORY VERSE: “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” – Psalm 8:4
BIBLE PASSAGE: Isaiah 49:14-16 (KJV)
14 But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
INTRODUCTION: As a human being, you are so important that you have about 100 billion nerve cells in your brain and that brain is said to be a supercomputer. God also inscribed your name on the palms of His hands (Isa.49:16) and so you are always before Him. You are so relevant to God that He gave His Son-Jesus for your life (Jn.3:16). The Psalmist even asked God a fundamental question about you in Psalm 8:4 “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?” It is high time you began to walk and live in that height of significance irrespective of your colour, gender, or physique.

b. You must refuse to cave in to low self-esteem but rather, walk in the confidence of Christ the King (Acts 28:31).
c. As a key personality, you must carry yourself with dignity anywhere you are and refuse to live in fear (2 Tim.1:7).
d. You must stand boldly, even before the strong and mighty, to declare who you are in Christ Jesus (Jn.7:26).
e. You must also occupy till He comes (Lk.19:13).
f. Like the saints of old, you are to show your peculiarity as a chosen generation (1Pe.2:9) and a sought – after person (Dan.4:9).
CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Students should discuss additional things they can do to walk in the significance of their importance.
CONCLUSION: It does not matter whether you are tall or short; fat or slim; male or female, etc. you are God’s creature who is expected to fulfil a specific purpose on earth. You are important.

CLOSING PRAYER: I walk in the consciousness of the value God places on me in Jesus name.
ASSIGNMENT: Mention five practical things you will start immediately to add values. (No Mark).
SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN
- O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
O how I love Thee well,
I am happy, it makes me glad
To rejoice at Thy birth. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Thy friend friendship suits me well,
Both young and will sing Thy song,
We long for Sunday School. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Christ was Thy first teacher,
The Holy Spirit, great teacher,
Does manifest in thee. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
This testimony is sure,
That God, the Father Almighty,
Poured His blessing on Thee - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Though the sun be so bright,
Or if the clouds be black with rain,
I’ll be in Sunday School. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day
I rejoice to see Thee,
Will thou pass over me today?
Without my being blest?
