RCCG Sunday School Student Manual 13 November 2022 – Lesson 11

MEMORY VERSE:

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” – Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

BIBLE PASSAGE: John 2:1-5 (KJV) (RCCG Sunday School Student Manual 13 November 2022)

1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there:

2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

LESSON INTRODUCTION:

God leads his children in definite ways. He loves to speaks in codes or uses signs and symbols, it is important that the recipients of such messages return to ask for the meaning, or else the purpose of the communication is defeated. When the purpose of God’s word is known, it’s an accomplishment is inevitable.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. THE WORD IS FOR A PURPOSE
2. THE WORD IS SPECIFIC AND TIME-BOUND

1. THE WORD IS FOR A PURPOSE

The word God sends is for a purpose: it is to meet needs. For instance, God sends His word:

1. To heal physically, spiritually, and all-round (Psalm 107:20).
2. To deliver from trouble, dangers, deaths, etc. (Psalm 107:20).
3. To set us free from satanic bondages and self-indulgence (John 8:32, 36).
4. To bless and deal with frustration, failures, etc. (Luke 5:4).
5. To save from sin and it’s consequences (Psalm 119:9, 11).
6. To direct and show the way (Psalm 119:105).
7. To comfort and encourage us (Joshua 1:3, 5-6).
8. To protect us (Psalm 91:11-12; Psalm 105:14-15).
9. To instruct us (Joshua 1:8; Proverbs 1:10).
10. To correct us (Proverbs 3:11-12; 2Timothy 3:16).

2. THE WORD IS SPECIFIC AND TIME-BOUND

God’s word instructs on what to do and how to do it (John 2:5-8). The word of God came in a very specific manner to Peter (Luke 5:4), Joshua (Joshua 1:3), Jonah (Jonah 1:1-2), and the disciples (Mark 16:15). While some obeyed, others dis but with dire consequences (Jonah 1:3,12).

God’s word must accomplish it’s purpose according to his plan (Matthew 5:18). The word sent also states when action is to be taken (Ecclesiastes 3:1-3). The purpose will be defeated if action is not taken at the right time (2Kings 5:9-14). Delay is dangerous (Hebrews 4:7). Jesus following suit and we must also follow in His step (John 9:4).

CONCLUSIONThe word is all-embracing. It will meet all your needs-physical, spiritual, social, economic, etc. Hearken and it shall be well with you.

QUESTION

1. Mention three (3) purposes for which God sends His word.
2. What do you understand by the word of God being specific?
