RCCG LOWER JUNIOR ZEAL FOR 2023/2024
AGE 9-12 TEACHER’S MANUAL
SUNDAY 5TH OF APRIL, 2024
LESSON THIRTY SIX (36)
TOPIC: BENEFITS OF A GRATEFUL HEART
VICTORY OVER CHALLENGES OF LIFE

BIBLE TEXT: JUDGES 6:1-40, 7:20-25

MEMORY VERSE: 1 Corin. 15:57 “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

LESSON AIM: To let the children know that their victory is guaranteed in Christ as they acknowledged His Lordship over their lives.

CENTRAL TRUTH: As a child of God victory is yours.

INTRODUCTION: When a child has come to know the Lord Jesus you are expected to live a life of dominion. You are now a victor and not a victim, you are to dominate and not to be dominated by situations, circumstances, sin and Satan. 1 John 5:4says “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” Gideon and the three hundred men with him were able to overcome the Midianites because of the encounter they had with God. Judges 7:5-9,20-25

STUDY GUIDE
A. YOUR VICTORY IS CERTAIN
i. Because the children of Israel had done evil in God’s sight, He had allowed the Midianites to oppress them for seven years.
ii. Afraid of their enemies, the Israelites hid.
iii. When Israel cried out to the Lord, God sent a prophet to remind them of His faithfulness and their disobedience.
iv. As fearful Gideon hid from the Midianites threshing wheat in a wine press, the Angel of the Lord appeared and said (ironically), “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
v. When Gideon accused God of forsaking Israel, the Angel shocked him with the news that God would use him to deliver them.
vi. Though the Angel encouraged Gideon, assuring him of God’s presence and promising victory over Midian, Gideon asked for a sign that God wanted to use him.
vii. Again the Angel encouraged Gideon: He consumed with fire the food and drink Gideon had given him.
viii. At last Gideon believed, built an altar and worshiped God.
When the Midianites prepared to attack Israel, God gave Gideon His Spirit, and he boldly gathered the army of Israel and victory became their portion.

B. AREAS OF YOUR LIFE YOU ARE TO EXPERIENCE VICTORIES:
(i) Victory over Sin.
(ii) Victory over Satan.
(iii) Victory over Failures.
(iv) Victory over Sicknesses.
(v) Victory over Poverty.
(vi) Victory over death.
(vii) Children should mention other areas they are expected to have victory.

CONCLUSION: God expects us to live victoriously. Having possessed the mind of gratitude, it must be evident in every area of our lives. Stay at the top.

INVITATION: If you belong to God He will help you to overcome in life. Do not be ashamed to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior today.

ACTIVITY: How can you live a Victorious life? Discuss.
