Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

INTRODUCTION

In our previous lesson, we established the fact that like Jesus – the only begotten Son, all believers in Jesus Christ are God’s adopted sons and have equal status with the begotten Son.

Just as Jesus demonstrated divine power and enjoyed direct access to the Father during His earthly ministry, believers are entitled to the same flow in the family of God.

Today, we will attempt to consider some of the privileges that the “sonship status” confers on us as well as the right mindsets for this reality and the attendant responsibilities.

THE MINDSET AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A SON

1. The Privileges of Sons

Becoming the “son of God” is the greatest achievement anyone could have because the “sonship status” confers so many privileges on the believer which include:

i. Uncommon divine revelations (John 15:15).

ii. Stewardship of God’s estate (John 17:10).

iii. Heir-ship of God (Galatians 4:7).

iv. Divine Honour (John 12:26).

v. Eternal life (John 3:15-16).

vi. Access to authority (Luke 10:19).

vi. Supernatural preservation (John 17:12).

vill. Supernatural stamina (Ephesians 3:16-17).

ix. A place in God’s kingdom (John 14:2-3).

x. Freedom from sin and its attendant slavery (1 John 3:8-10).

xi. Appointment unto glory (John 17:22).

xii. Intimacy with the Father (Matthew 6:9, 31-32).

xiii. Access to royalty (1 Peter 2:9).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Students should share the privileges they have enjoyed as sons of God.

2. THE MINDSET AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A SON

A. To operate in and maximize the status of sonship, we must develop the right mindset and be committed to the responsibilities attached. These include:

i. Total surrender and obedience to the Father’s will (Philippians 2:5-8).

ii. Openness to correction and chastening (Hebrews 12:5, 7, 11).

iii. Power and authority consciousness (Mark 16:17-18).

iv. Awareness of Divine presence (Hebrews 13:5).

v. Courage and boldness (Ephesians 3:11-12).

B. As sons we must also have:

A sense of responsibility towards the kingdom (Matthew 6:33).
Intimacy with God through the Holy Spirit (1John 2:27).
Absolute trust in the Father (Proverbs 3:5-7).
Passionate love for the Father (Mark 12:29-30).

5. Love and compassion for humanity (1 John 3:15-17, 1 John 4:20).

6. Commitment to holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

The teacher should ask the students to mention what has changed about them since they accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER MANUAL 29 OCTOBER 2023

To fully enjoy all the privileges of sonship, believers must develop the right mindset and undertake the accompanying responsibilities.

EVALUATION:

Mention five responsibilities of a son of God.

CLOSING PRAYER:

If you are not born again, say Father, I accept You as my Lord and Saviour.

If you are, tell God to help you operate fully in the sonship office He has given you in Jesus’ name.
