OPENING PRAYER: Almighty Father, please make me a vessel for the Master’s use in Jesus name (Scroll down for RCCG Sunday School 18 June 2023 HYMN)

MEMORY VERSE: “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” – Ezekiel 22:30 (KJV)

BIBLE PASSAGE: Jeremiah 18:1-6 (KJV)

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: God does not necessarily need our strength or strong points to use us. Oftentimes, He delights in using our weakness, because whenever He does, we do not get to share in His glory. God wants us to be examples to others of what He can do in and with us if only we are willing and obedient to do His will. God is still looking for vessels to use.

LESSON OUTLINES

  1. BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF VESSELS GOD USED
  2. GOD’S REQUIREMENTS AND REWARDS

1. BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF VESSELS GOD USED

A. The teacher should establish the fact that God can use any available person because He is no respecter of persons. Acts 10:34-35.

B. The teacher should mention some of the vessels God used in the Bible despite their weaknesses and shortcomings as follows:

i. Moses: A fearful man (Exodus 2:14), of low self-esteem (Exodus 3:11) and stammerer (Exodus 4:10). He was chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from age-long captivity (Numbers 12:6-8).

ii. Gideon: A man of doubt (Judges 6:11-13; 6:36-40) and low esteem (Judges 6:14-15). He became the vessel chosen to liberate his people from the Midianites (Judges 7:19-25).

iii. David: He was the least in his father’s house (1Samuel 17:14a; 16:11-12), an adulterer (2 Samuel 11:2-4) and apparent murderer (2Samuel 11:14-17). He became a man after God’s heart (1 Samuel 13:14).

iv. Peter: An unlearned fisherman who slept instead of praying (Matthew 26:37-44) and even denied Christ three times (Mark 14:66-72). He was mightily used of God (Matthew 16:16-19, Luke 22:31-32; Acts 2:40-41; 3:6-8).

v. Paul: When he was Saul, persecuted the Church, arrested and aides the killing of many believers (Acts 8:1-3). Jesus converted and made him a chosen vessel especially to the gentile nations (Acts 9:1-15).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1
The teacher should ask each student to mention at least one weakness they have and how they can overcome it.

2. GOD’S REQUIREMENTS AND REWARDS

A. The teacher should explain to the students that God is looking for vessels and His requirements include:

i. Faithfulness. Luke 19:17; 1Corinthians 4:2; Jeremiah 5:1.

ii. Availability. Ezekiel 22:30; Isaiah 6:8.

iii. Teachability. John 14:23; Matthew 10:24.

iv. Obedience to His word. 2Timothy 2:21; Proverbs 13:13.

v. Being strong in Christ. John 14:13; 15:16.

vi. Purging of self. 2Timothy 2:21.

vii. Laying aside weights. Hebrews 12:1.

viii. Death to self. John 12:24-26.

B. A WORD OF CAUTION
God can discern every thought and motive behind every action. Hebrews 4:13; Psalm 33:13-15.

C. REWARDS FOR VESSELS GOD USES
God will rewards everything we do in His name, whether in secret or in the open. (Revelation 22:12).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2
