TEACHER’S MANUAL
 
LESSON FIFTY (50)
 
SUNDAY: 15th AUGUST 2021
 
TOPIC: WIN THE CROWNS
 
 
 
BIBLE TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 9:24-27
 

  1. Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may [a]obtain it.
     
    25 And everyone who competes for the prize [b]is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.
     
    26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.
     
    27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
     
     
     
    MEMORY VERSE: * 2nd Timothy 4:7*
     
  2. “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course.”
     
    LESSON AIM: God wants you to run your Christian race to the end.
     
    CHILD RELATED TRUTH: God wants you to run and win your Christian race.
     
    INTRODUCTION: a disciplined Christian is like a runner of a race and every race is one at the end not at the beginning. We will learn how God wants you and I to successfully end our Christian race.
     
    PROGRESSION OF EVENTS: 
     
    A.      What is a Race?
     
    It is a competition between runners. Spiritual race means our spiritual lives in Christ. Apostle Paul says in a race all runners run but only one gets the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24.
     
     
     
    B.      Apostle Paul used games (race) to teach his fellow Christians that we are in a race to win, that when you give your life to Jesus, you begin a new life compared to running a race.
     
     
     
    C.      When you are temperate (self controlled) in all things by overcoming temptation to sin, then at the end you obtain the imperishable price of the crown. James 1:12
     
     
     
    D.      Jesus said in James 1:12 that the condition to win the crown is to endure temptation by having self-control. What is self control? To deny yourself by putting the flesh under or doing something even where you do not feel like, that is you have to follow spiritual rules which include.
     
    –         Determination to compete and win by forsaking all manners of sin.
     
    –         Be disciplined by putting friends and all the things that may not allow you win aside. Heb 12:1.
     
     
    –         Be obedient, you must abide by the rules. 2 Timothy 2:3-5
     
    –         Run with a heavenly vision.
     
     
     
     
    CLIMAX: Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:26, he is fighting not as one who beats the air (aimlessly). He has a purpose in mind. You must run with a mindset to win the crown.
     
    CONCLUSION: Apostle Paul determined not to be cast away after preaching to so many Vs 27.
     
    CHALLENGE:  if you have believed in Jesus Christ, God wants you to run and win the crown, these three rules in mind. 2 Timothy 4:7-8.
     
    1.      Desire to compete and win.
     
    2.      Be disciplined
     
     
    3.      Be obedient to keep to the rules of the game.
     
    INVITATION: Your winning the crown starts with a new life in Christ Jesus. John 6:47 “he who believes has everlasting life”.
