SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN
- O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
O how I love Thee well,
I am happy, it makes me glad
To rejoice at Thy birth. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Thy friendship suits me well,
Both young and old will sing Thy song,
We long for Sunday School. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Christ was Thy first teacher,
The Holy Spirit, great teacher,
Does manifest in thee. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
This testimony is sure,
That God, the Father Almighty,
Poured His blessing on Thee - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Though the sun be so bright,
Or if the clouds be black with rain,
I’ll be in Sunday School. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day
I rejoice to see Thee,
Will thou pass over me today?
Without my being blest?
MEMORY VERSE: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. – Philippians 4:13(NKJV)
BIBLE PASSAGE: 2KINGS 6:1-2
[1]And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us.
[2]Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there, and let us make there a place where we may dwell.” So he answered, “Go.”
INTRODUCTION
A limit is a point or level beyond which something or someone does not or may not extend or pass. There
are people who limit themselves by setting a barrier to what they can achieve or how far they can go in life. For some people, statement such as, ” why did I ever come into this family?” ” Can I make it in life?” ” I know I can never that height” are very common in their words, thought, or actions. It is important therefore, to identify Factors capable of limiting you and how to enlarge your scope.
LESSON OUTLINES
- FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR LIMITATIONS
- ENLARGE YOUR SCOPE
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR LIMITATIONS
Several factors can be responsible for human limitations, but we shall examine the following:
- Fear of unknown or uncertainty (Numbers 13:33).
- Refusal to make good use of opportunities around to do exploits (Matthew 25:24-25).
- Placing an embargo on self (1Kings 19:4)
- Failure to network with people of the like passion (1Samuel 22:1-2)
- Incessant complaints and excuses (1Corinthians 10:10)
- Being passive about life “Life will not give you what you desire but what you demand” (Joshua 14:12).
- Inactive prayer life. Some limitations need divine intervention – like Jabez (1Chronicles 4:9-10).
- Unwarranted covenant entered into ignorantly or deceitfully (Joshua 9:6; 22-23).
- Living continuously in regret (Philippians 3:13-14).
ENLARGE YOUR SCOPE
You must be deliberate to enlarge your scope (Luke 12:28). Knowledge is power, make conscious efforts to add to what you know to grow big (Proverbs 2:10-11; 8:12). You need to do more than what you are doing now (Ecclesiastes 11:6) – there is always room for improvement. Confront your fear, deal with them, and see a new lease of life open before you (Numbers 27:1-7). It is necessary to develop the ‘I can do it’ attitude (Philippians 4:13). Step into new terrains, be bold to take over territories, and move upward on the ladder of success (Joshua 15:13-14). Prayerfully remove any seal that wants to limit you (1Chronicles 4:10). Believe that no force can limit you. (1Peter 2:6; Ephesians 1:20-21; 2:6).
CONCLUSION
Take the limits off and be the best you can. There is room at the top for you.
