RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENT MANUAL 23 JUNE 2024 (LESSON 43)
TOPIC: FULFILLING PURPOSE
BIBLE PASSAGE: Philippians 3:12-14.
MEMORY VERSE:
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. John 18:37.
INTRODUCTION
God does not waste resources. Hence, everything He created is for a purpose.
The sun gives light and never ceases to shine (Psalms 136:7-9), the cloud gives rain in due season and trees provide food and shade accordingly (Leviticus 26:4). Other animals play their parts without hesitation.
Amazingly, man struggles to understand and fulfil his purpose for living. The discovery, as well as fulfilment of divine purpose, is the focus of today’s lesson.
OUTLINES:
- DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE
- LIVE TO FULFIL IT
1. DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE
Like Apostle Paul, once you become a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), you must begin to crave for the understanding of your purpose for living on earth (Philippians 3:12).
That purpose has been predetermined by God before you were born (Jeremiah 1.5; Galatians 1:15). It is your duty to discover and fulfil it.
Here are some practical pointers to your purpose for living:
1. POTENTIAL
You need to identify your in-built ability, your talents, and God-given gifts (Ephesians 4:7).
Find out the things you do with less stress e.g., singing, drawing, talking to a crowd, helping others, etc.
The knowledge or skills you acquire in life should be to shape and sharpen your potential (Acts 7:22).
2. PASSION
What are those things you are exceptionally have flare or zeal for, and do often?
Build your vocation or career on such things.
The things that get you excited, give you joy and satisfaction can lead you to the fulfilment of your purpose in life (Psalm 69:9; Colossians 4:12-13)
3. PRAYER
After you have identified your potential and the things you are passionate about, you need to pray for divine guidance, so that the world and the enemy will not hijack your purpose in life (Acts 9:1-2).
Like Apostle Paul, once you become a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), you must begin to crave for the understanding of your purpose for living on earth (Philippians 3:12).
That purpose has been predetermined by God before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5; Galatians 1:15). It is your duty to discover and fulfil it.
CLASS ACTIVITY 1:
Mention some factors that can hinder the discovery of purpose.
2. LIVE TO FULFIL IT
These seven things will help every child of God fulfil his/her purpose in life.
- Ask God to reveal His plan for your life to you (Jeremiah 1:4-5). Then, draw a vision and mission statement (Proverbs 29:18; Habakkuk 2:2)
- Set achievable goals and pursue them (Acts 20:24). Take a step at a time and do not be mediocre (Psalm 37:23).
- Identify and relate with people of like passion: learn from their mistakes and build on their success (2 Kings 2:1-2, 14).
- Submit yourself for mentoring and counselling: do not claim to know it all (Acts 18:24-26; Prov. 11:14).
- Live as if you have just one more day on earth: do not procrastinate (Luke 9:61).
- Focus your attention on God (Hebrews 12:2). Make sure all that you do is to His pleasing (Colossians 1:10).
- Always return all the glory to God: do not ascribe anything to yourself (Isaiah 42:8).
CLASS ACTIVITY 2:
Mention the ways in which so many people live without fulfilling purpose.
CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Student Manual 23 June 2024
