TODAY’S LESSON

Memory Verse: Luke 17:1

“Then He said to the disciples, it is impossible that no offences should come, but woe to him through whom they do come.”

Bible Text: Luke 17:1-4

¹ Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

²It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

³Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

⁴And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

Lesson Introduction:

To every creature, there will always be temptations to sin, but there is a curse for such a person through whom the temptation comes.

In our society today, a lot of things are dragging men and women into temptation but we as believers should be able to inspire them through godly advice never to succumb to the urge of committing sin.

Cashless policies, loss of jobs, financial burdens here and there are the menaces begrudging our nation but we should not make people to be burdened through our reckless behaviour or advice.

Lesson Outline One: OFFENCES MUST COME

Temptations, snares, traps set to entice to sin are sure to come. What are some of the temptations we can envisage in our earthly journey?

i. Natural desires that God has given us – I Corinthians 10:31.

ii. Influential temptations through boss, colleague, spouse, etc.

iii. Promotion temptation – Genesis 39:9.

iv. Continuous worldly allures – I John 5:15-17.

v. Loneliness.

vi. Betrayal of trust.

Lesson Outline Two: HANDLING OFFENCES

Proverbs 16:20 says that he that handles a matter wisely shall find good.

Let us look at how we can handle temptations;

Share your trying time with God, do not battle alone – Prov. 15:22.
Flee from any company that lures you into offence – Il Tim. 2:22.
Watch who you relate with.
Be cautious, do not be like Samson.
Depend on God only – I Samuel 2:9.
Discipline your senses especially your will and emotion – Gal. 2:20.
Let old things pass away permanently. Learn from Judas – Il Cor. 5:17.

Activity:

In what areas of your life do you need divine intervention?

SUMMARY:

Remember the children of Lot that caused offence to their father. Deal with everything that brings you into temptation.
