RCCG YAYA SUNDAY SCHOOL YOUTH 16 JUNE 2024 (LESSON 42)
TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING PURPOSE
BIBLE PASSAGE: Luke 4:16-21.
MEMORY VERSE:
“..For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”
1 John 3:8b (NKJV).
INTRODUCTION
The word, purpose is a keyword you need to employ to stand out and be fulfiled. It is a goal or an intention. It is also the reason for which something is done.
To understand your purpose is to know the reason for your existence.
We shall explain this by attempting to provide answers to the questions “who are you? and Why are you here?”
OUTLINES:
1. WHO ARE YOU?
2. WHO ARE YOU HERE?
1. WHO ARE YOU?
To understand your purpose in life is to first know who you are.
This goes beyond your numerous names, family backgrounds, qualifications etc. Therefore, to know who you are, it is imortant for you to:
1. Go to God who is the “Master Sculptor” – Ask God why He created you. PRAY! (Jeremiah 1:5; Hebrews 4:13).
2. Recognise the “giant’ in you – God created man uniquely with a brain that is sharper than a “supercomputer” and with the inner ability to do great exploits. This is what makes you “YOU.” (Psalm 139:14; 1Samuel 17:32-36).
3. Identify and optimize your gifts – What is that thing you can do with ease? You are graced in that area; harness it (Ephesians 4:7-8)
4. Discover your areas of strengths and weaknesses – Know what brings out the greatness in you and deal with what dwarfs you (1 Corinthians 7:20).
5. Learn from those ahead and seek counsel – Read life-inspiring books, listen to those fulfilling purpose, and attend life-transforming conferences (2 Thessalonians 3:7; Proverbs 20:18).
CLASS ACTIVITY 1:
Class should discuss the benefits of discovering purpose in life.
2. WHY ARE YOU HERE?
This question looks simple but it is broad in one sense and deep in another sense. But it is easy to discover purpose once you know the “why.” Let us look at the following:
i. Why are you in that family, organization, school, church, etc.? (Genesis 45:5, Esther 4:14).
ii. Why are you in that country or relocating? Until you know the reason why you are in that location you may not eat the good of the land (Genesis 26:1-3).
iii. Why are you doing what you are doing presently? (John 18:37).
iv. Why do you occupy that leadership position? You must know why you occupy that seat if not, abuse will be inevitable (1 Corinthians 15:10).
v. Why are you alive? Living is a privilege from God, you must know the reason why you are alive. Set long and short-term goals that must be achieved daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.
Every hour must count (ICorinthians 9:26)
CLASS ACTIVITY 2:
Student should discuss why it takes a long time for some people to discover purpose while others do not discover at all.
