RCCG LOWER JUNIOR ZEAL FOR 2022/2023
AGE 9-12 TEACHER’S MANUAL
SUNDAY 10TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2023
LESSON TWO (2)
TOPIC: WHO DESERVES GRATITUDE 1: GOD

BIBLE TEXT: Luke 17:11-19

MEMORY VERSE: Luke 17:15 “And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,”

LESSON AIM: God is motivated to release remarkable Blessings when accorded gratitude because He warrants and delight in it.

CENTRAL TRUTH: God is pleased when you Praise Him.

INTRODUCTION: Our gratitude pleases and motivates God towards showcasing
His Might for and on our behalf. Unfortunately, the nine lepers received God’s Blessings with an ungrateful heart when they never returned to thank Jesus after being healed. Therefore, they hindered themselves from receiving complete restoration.
