RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual Lesson 16: 21 December 2025

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

MEMORY VERSE:

“Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.” Esther 4:16.

INTRODUCTION

A game changer is a person or an idea that positively changes the way things are done. It is a “dynamics” newly introduced that transforms an existing situation/activity in a significant or complete way. Game changers work assiduously to launch a technique that brings a major shift from the old order. They change existing conditions by revitalising them and bringing out the best in them.

In business, ministry, organisations, families, etc. game changers alter old strategies and conceive a new way of moving forward. We shall examine the qualities and results of game changers.
