RCCG LOWER JUNIOR ZEAL FOR 2023/2024
AGE 6-8 TEACHER’S MANUAL
SUNDAY 10TH OF MARCH, 2024
LESSON TWENTY EIGHT (28)
TOPIC: BENEFITS OF A GRATEFUL HEART:
SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS 1 (GIFT OF THE SPIRIT).

BIBLE TEXT: 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
[7]But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
[8]For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
[9]To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
[10]To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
[11]But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

MEMORY VERSE: Romans 12:6 “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophecy according to the proportion of faith”.

LESSON AIM: The children will know that it is only God that they can rely on for spiritual gifts.

CHILD-RELATED TRUTH: God will give you spiritual gifts through Jesus.

INTRODUCTION: Children! Have you ever daydreamed about being C exceptionally talented at something, like singing, or playing soccer, but you know you just were not given the gift or proper training to get good at it? Today, we are going to talk about the gifts God gives you when you put your trust in Jesus as Saviour.

PROGRESSION OF EVENT

  1. Word of knowledge: The holy spirit gives us the knowledge that we would not know ourselves.
  2. Word of wisdom: Sometimes the Holy Spirit gives us wisdom about what to do in a situation.
  3. Discernment of Spirit: The Holy Spirit helps us know whether something is from God, a person’s own mind, or a heart.
  4. Gift of healing: The Holy Spirit helps us in praying for the sick and gives us increased faith that God will heal.
  5. Miracles: Miracles are things that are impossible for us to do on our own.

6 Faith: Faith is the ability to trust God even though we do not see Jesus.

  1. Prophecy: This is a message from God given to encourage people.
  2. Tongues: The Holy Spirit gives us the ability to speak in a strange language we have not learned.
  3. Interpretation of Tongues: When someone is speaking in an unknown tongue when praying, it needs to be interpreted.

CLIMAX: All these are the work of the Holy Spirit dividing to everyone as He pleases.

CONCLUSION: You should earnestly desire these gifts.

CHALLENGE: A spiritual gift is an extraordinary power given by the holy spirit to those who put their trust in Jesus. Before the coming of Jesus, the Holy Spirit did not live inside every person but sent to the person God had a special assignment for (Genesis 41:38; Daniel 4:8) but when Jesus was on earth, He told the disciples that He will send them the Holy Spirit that will not leave them (John 14). Jesus needed to go back to heaven for the Holy Spirit to live and manifest in your life. The only way you can have the manifestation of the Holy Spirit is to put your trust in Jesus who took the punishment to cleanse your sins when you confess them 1 John 1:9).

CARRY-OVERACTIVITY: This week, pray for God to give you a spiritual gift. When we meet next week, we will talk about how God gave you a gift of the spirit.

INVITATION: You need Jesus as Lord and Saviour to be able to have the manifestation of the Holy Spirit (John 5:24).
