RCCG YAYA SUNDAY SCHOOL YOUTH 30 JUNE 2024 (LESSON 44)
TOPIC: SUBMISSION
BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Peter 2:13-17.
MEMORY VERSE:
“Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake. whether to the king as supreme.”
1 Peter 2:13 (NKJV).
INTRODUCTION
Submission is a virtue that means to yield or to surrender. Some people submit to authorities for diverse reasons ranging from personal gain, eye service, etc.
However, submission is commanded as an act of obedience and honour to God (Romans 13:1-2)
The Scripture clearly states the diverse categories of people we are expected to submit to. Failure to obey this command amounts to rebellion in God’s sight.
OUTLINES:
- CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE TO SUBMIT TO
- CONSEQUENCES OF REBELLION
1. CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE TO SUBMIT
God instituted certain authorities to coordinate various affairs on His behalf on earth (Romans 13:1-2).
Everyone is expected to submit to governing authorities (1 Peter 2:13-17).
Servants must submit to their masters (Colossians 3:22; 1 Peter 2:18).
Wives must submit in all meekness to their husbands (Colossians 3:18;1 Peter 3:1-6).
Children must submit to their parents (Exodus 20:12; Ephesians 6:1-3).
Ultimately, all of God’s creations (including all authorities) must submit to God (Psalm 72:11; Isaiah 66:23).
CLASS ACTIVITY 1:
Should believers submit to ungodly leaders.
2. CONSEQUENCES OF REBELLION
Rebellion is the opposite of submission and it is an act of insubordination or resistance to constituted authorities which could be motivated by pride, envy, hatred, etc.
Rebellion comes with grave consequences. These include:
i. Demotion (either temporal or permanent) -Nebuchadnezzar was proud and he lived like a beast in the field for seven years (Daniel 4:30-33).
ii. Loss of authority and position-Vashti discountenanced her husband, the king, and lost her position to Esther (Esther 1:11-12; 2:1-4).
iii. Destruction- Pharaoh consistently disdained God and he perished together with his army in the Red Sea (Exodus 14:26-28; Psalm 135:8-9).
iv. Loss of identity – Samson waved away the instructions of his parents and his life and destiny were cut short (Judges 14:1-3; 16:20-21).
v. Untimely death-Korah, Dathan, and Abiram rebelled against the authority of God and were buried alive (Numbers 26:9-10).
CLASS ACTIVITY 2:
Students should discuss other consequences of rebellion.
CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Youth 30 June 2024
There is no authority that is without the knowledge of God (Romans 13:1)
Believers in Christ must therefore see submission to every authority as service to God.
QUESTION:
- Mention three reasons believers must submit to authority.
- Identify some Bible characters that rebelled and the consequences of their actions.
