MEMORY VERSE: “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” – Psalms 121:4

BIBLE TEXT: Psalms 121:1-8 (KJV)

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: God never sleeps nor slumbers, He’s eternally awake. He is available every minute of every day for the entirety of our lives and into eternity. We need rest for the body and mind, but our God does not faint or grow weary Isaiah 40:28. It is when you become an enemy of God that you begin to look for security from other sources. when you have him on your side, you are not afraid in the day or at night because you know He is there to protect you Proverb 18:10.

LESSON AIM: To enlighten and encourage members on the ability of God not to be tried, weary, sleepy or slumbery and also teach members to depend on God for protection from seen and unseen enemies.

B. TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, members should be able to:
i. Understand that God is not a man and posses no weakness of a man.
ii. Know that God is ever alert to protect His children and not dogs -Rev. 22:15.

TEXT REVIEW: PSALMS 121:1-8

i. My help comes from the Lord.
ii. God never slumbers or sleeps and will not allow you to stumble.
iii. God is your protection and shade, He will protect you from heat of the sun and the cold of the moon night (meaning He will shelter you).

TEACHING METHOD: Use interactive/discussion method.

TIME MANAGEMENT: Share the teaching time using the suggested time schedule.

LESSON OUTLINE:

EXAMPLE OF WHERE STRENGTH AND OTHER SOURCE OF SECURITY FAILED PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE

God made the enemies guarding Peter to sleep and He rescued Peter from them, Acts12:1-11
Paul and Silas praised God in prison while the jailers were fast asleep and they did not wake up until they was an earthquake and the prisoners were released Acts 16:25-27
King Saul and his soldiers pursuing David also fell asleep and David removed his sword and still spared his life 1 Samuel 26:7-16
The Bible also tells us in Psalm 76:5-6 that all the enemies of God will be made to sleep while our God that neither sleeps nor slumbers remains awake.

ACTIVITY: If God never sleep nor slumber why do some Christian still fall prey of physical or spiritual insecurity?

SUMMARY: God nature is not like that of a mortal, therefore he does not posses the weakness of a mortal.

CONCLUSION: what you need to do to remain safe forever is to fear God. Don’t let anything separate you and Him because if He is in on your side, you can sleep in peace and wake up in peace. Do not put your trust in any human security because they can fail. Put your trust in the One who never sleeps nor slumbers and He will take care of you.
