TODAY’S LESSON

Memory Verse: Rev. 12:11

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.”

Bible Text: Psalms 103:1-5

¹ Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

³Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

⁴Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

⁵Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

LESSON INTRODUCTION:

Thanksgiving is an instrument of victory given to believers by God. Though it is always given after a victory is recorded as in the case of the children of Israel after crossing the Red Sea and the case of Hannah after giving birth to Samuel.

Testimonies is the act of sharing with others what God had done in the life of a believer and what God did for the believer as in the case of David testifying before King Saul that God helped him to kill a bear and a lion.
