TOPIC: MISSIONS MINDEDNESS

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Luke 10:1-9

1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

MEMORY VERSE:

“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:14

LESSON INTRODUCTION

Every believer has a call to missions (2 Corinthians 5:18). Missions is the sending out of believers to proclaim the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ to the Unreached People Group (UPG) as well as the Unchurched and Unaccessible People Group (UIPG). A people group can be considered un-reached if evangelical Christians are less than 2% of the entire population. Missions is at the heart of what the church stands for (Acts 2:41). It is what Jesus commissioned us to do (Mark 16:15). Everyone has a role to play in missions (Acts 4:34-35).

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM:

To teach the students the rudiments of missions.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

Through this study, students are expected to:

• Understand the call for missions.
• Learn the involvement of the Godhead in
  missions.
• Know the roles of believers in missions.

TEACHING PLAN:

To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

1. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion; do class activities and the assignment.
2. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
3. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, con-clude, evaluate the lesson and give an assignment.

TEXT REVIEW: Luke 10:1-9

A. According to the scripture above, the Lord Jesus Christ sent seventy (70) disciples in pairs to win souls into the kingdom of God. He told them

i. Go your ways …V3.

ii. Carry neither purse, …V4.

iii. And into whatsoever house ye enter, …V5.

iv. And if the son of peace be there, …V6.

B. In addition to the instructions given to the disci-ples, Jesus told his disciples to heal those that are sick while on the mission field.

TEACHING METHOD:

The Lecture Teaching Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE MISSIONARY GOD

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are all involved in missions.

A. God the Father initiated the process by sending His Son, Jesus Christ to the world to save humanity (John 3:12).

B. Jesus came in obedience to the Father’s instruction to redeem the world from eternal damnation (John 10:10). Jesus has now commissioned every believer to continue with the task (Matthew 28:19-20; John 20:21).

C. The Holy Spirit is always with us to lead us (Acts 8:29), guide us (Acts 16:6-7), strengthen us (Acts 4:8, 13), and help us to finish the task (2 Timothy 4:7).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Although believers have been commissioned for missions, some are yet to be in-volved. Why?

LESSON OUTLINE 2: A MANDATE FOR ALL BELIEVERS

A. Every believer has been commissioned to do ‘mis-sions’ (Matthew 28:19-20; John 20:21).

i. You have no choice if you are born again (John 15:16).

ii. The question is not whether or not you are called to do missions, but rather the question is whether or not you obey the call.

iii. Paul was not disobedient to the call (Acts 26:19-20).

B. However, one can get involved in any of these areas:

I. Preaching: Some are called and set apart to go to different lands to preach the gospel (Acts 13:1-2).
The work of missions demands that some people should go to those who have not heard the gospel. Jesus, our perfect example was going from place to place preaching the gospel (Matthew 4:23). Jesus commanded us to go to the entire world (Acts 1:8). Unless there are people who will go and preach there is no way missions can be done: we need men and women who will traverse lands to proclaim the gospel (Isaiah 6:8).

ii. Praying: Missions work thrives on prayer; the work will suffer without it. Paul enjoined the brethren in Ephesus to partner with him in prayers (Ephesians 6:18-20). Regular prayers must be offered to God for missionaries and missions’ work (Colossians 4:2-4). We ought to remember missionaries in our family altars and personal prayers (2 Thessalonians 3:1-2).

iii. Paying: Missions is a very expensive venture. This is why God has blessed His children so they can finance His project (2 Corinthians 12:15). Paul commended the Philippians for being exceptional in financing missions work (Philippians 4:14-19).
As an individual you can pay a missionary’s salary, children’s school fees, or help missionaries on training. You can adopt a mission field and finance their work.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

How do you want to be involved in missions?

CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Lesson 34

Missions is a vital assignment that God has given to every believer. Be involved.

EVALUATION:

Teachers should ask the students to explain how God is a missionary and explain three ways believers can be involved in missions.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Jesus, use me to draw lost souls to you.

ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 20 April 2025

State five things you will do (are do-ing) to support the missionary efforts of your church (2×5=10 Marks).

BIBLE READING

12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15 For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”
Deuteronomy. 8:18.

LESSON INTRODUCTION

There has been so much instability in recent times and it looks like a whole lot of things are becoming unattainable, especially in the area of finance. Dwindling economic realities around the world make it more difficult to believe that financial independence exists, given the rate at which companies fold up, the rate of inflation, and exchange rate vulnerability, just to mention but a few.

In this lesson, we will look at what financial independence is, how it relates to us as Christians, and the practical steps we can take to attain it.

   26: 12-16).
4. Believers can attain financial independence through the under listed:
   • i. By looking unto God to empower them to do the needful to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18).
