    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: Colossians 1:16-17

    16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
    17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” Psalm 104:24

    INTRODUCTION:

    The word “omnificence” is defined as the ability to create all things.

    Omnificence rightly describes Gods unlimited power to create all things as noted in the Bible’s first verse: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

    In Colossians 1:16-17, God is also affirmed as the Creator of all things. Although God is the Creator of all, He has given some of His creative ability to man.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM:

    To understand the concept of God’s omnificence.

    TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

    Through this lesson, students should be able to:

    1. Understand the concept of omnificence.
    2. Describe the omnificence nature of God.
    3. Learn how a man can create like God.

    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 discus-sion, and do class activities and assignments.
    2. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
    3. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

    TEXT REVIEW: Colossians 1:16-17.

    The apostle Paul in his epistle to the church in Colossae revealed to us that all things in heaven, and on earth, visible and invisible were created by God.

    1. These include: i) …… (ii) …… (iii)…….. (iv)… V16a & 16b.
    2. All things were created (i)….. (i)……….. V16c.
    3. He is (i)…..(iї)…V17

    TEACHING METHOD:

    The Lecture Method.

    TIME MANAGEMENT:

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

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: NATURE OF GOD’S OMNIFICENCE

    A. John 1:3 tells us that God made all things, visible and invisible (Colossians 1:16) through the instrumentality of His word (Hebrews 11:3). Hence:

    i. God’s omnificence goes hand-in-hand with His omnipotence (all-powerful), and His omniscience (all-knowing).

    ii. God was able to create without limitation (om-nificence) because of His power (omnipotence) and wisdom (omniscience) – Jeremiah 10:12; Proverbs 3:19

    B. God’s creative work is an expression of His attributes (Romans 1:20):

    i. Psalm 104:24-25 is full of praise for our omnifi-cent God: the Psalmist praises God for the creation of light, the clouds, the wind, the seas, the mountains, the valleys, the beasts of the field, the birds of the sky, the trees, the sun and moon, and the very rhythm of life. All are proof of God’s omnificence.

    ii. Psalm 40:5 wonders at the depth of God’s om-nificence. God’s creative power is unlimited and beyond our ability to fully comprehend.

    C. God is not only the Creator of all:

    i. He also sustains all (Acts 17:28).

    ii. The omnificent God who created the universe is the same God who cares for each one of us (Psalm 8:3-4).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Mention any three amazing works of God.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: NATURE OF MAN LIKE GOD

    A. God created man in His image and likeness – depicting God’s attributes like holiness, intelligence and creativity (Genesis 1:26).

    B. Although man is not omnificent, God gave man tremendous creative ability ‘being gods’ (Psalm 82:6). Man can recreate things in the similitude of the things God created (Exodus 31:3) for instance:

    i. In Genesis 1:16 “God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night” but gave man the ability to create electricity.

    ii. God can communicate with us anywhere and anytime, (Numbers 12:6-8) but He gave man the ability to invent communication gadgets like the mobile phone so that man can communicate with one another anywhere and anytime.

    iii. God formed man from clay and made him a living soul through His breath (Genesis 2:7), man is inventing robots in the exact image of man called ‘humanoids’

    C. Man is still in the process of fully harnessing his creative potential and just like Genesis 11:6b states “nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.”

    D. There is a creative ability in every man (Job 32:8). All we need to do is to look inward and explore the thoughts, ideas, talents, and potential inherent in us to invent something for our benefit and the benefit of humanity (Psalm 8:5-6).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Are there things made by man that are not made from what God has already made?

    CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 7 September 2025

    God’s creative power stirs our faith because, through it, we know that He can do all things. As believers, we also share in His creative ability (Psalm 82:6).

    EVALUATION:

    Mention other areas in which God created something and man makes its types

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, on the authority of the creative ability You have given man, I make initiatives beneficial to many generations in Jesus’ name.

    ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual Lesson 1

    Mention two (2) things that enable God to create without limitation (2×5=10 Marks).

    RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 53 (31 AUGUST 2025)

    TOPIC: SPECIAL INTERACTIVE SESSION

    DISCUSSION ON SOME OF THE CHALLENGING LESSONS OR SUBJECTS IN THE COURSE OF THE YEAR 2024-2025. THIS CAN TAKE THE FORM OF A DEBATE, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OR CLARIFICATIONS.

    HERE ARE SOME ISSUES THAT MAY BE DEBATED IN THE CLASS IN THE 2024-2025 SUNDAY SCHOOL MANUAL.

    1. Lesson 1: Is the kingdom of God in heaven or on earth?
    2. Lesson 14: Is there anything like holy anger? Is it possible to be angry and not sin?
    3. Lesson 48: Is it only believers in Christ living holy that will make it to heaven? What about people of other religions (non-Christians) that are doing good?

    TEACHERS SHOULD ALLOW THE STUDENTS PRESENT THEIR POINTS IN FAVOUR OR AGAINST THE MATTER. THEN, THE TEACHER SHOULD PRESENT THE CORRECT BIBLICAL STANCE AS STATED BELOW:

    LESSON 1: Is The Kingdom Of God In Heaven Or On Earth?

    • The kingdom of God is the rule of an eternal, sovereign God over all the universe. Psalm 103:19 says “The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.” God’s kingdom is an eternal kingdom” (Daniel 4:3). It stretches from the ageless past to the future yet unseen. The kingdom of God comprises everything that is: visible and invisible.
    • The kingdom of God is also a spiritual rule over the hearts and lives of those who are genuinely born-again and willingly submit to God’s authority (John 3:3-5). Such people enter the kingdom of God on earth awaiting a translation to the kingdom of God in Heaven.
    • God’s kingdom resides within the heart of believers in Christ (Luke 17:20-21).
    • Ultimately, the kingdom of God (which the disciples enquired about when Jesus was about to ascend in Acts 1:6) will be the literal rule of Christ on the earth during the millennium. (Daniel 2:44).
    • Those who reject God’s authority and refuse to submit to Him are not part of the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven (1 Corinthians 6:9).

    LESSON 14: Is There Anything Like Holy Anger? Is It Possible To Be Angry And Not Sin?

    • There are two Greek words translated as “anger.”
      One means “passion, energy” and the other means “agitated, boiling.”
    • The first type of anger, of which the Bible approves, is called “righteous indignation” or “holy anger.” For instance, the Bible says God is angry with the wicked everyday (Psalm 7:11). Jesus looked on the Pharisees who were opposed to Him healing the man with a withered hand in anger (Mark 3:5).
      This is God-given energy intended to help solve problems in the face of oppositions and it is acceptable for believers to be angry (Ephesians 4:26). Other examples of biblical anger include David’s being upset over hearing Nathan the prophet sharing an injustice (2 Samuel 12) and Jesus’ anger over how some of the Jews had defiled worship at God’s temple in Jerusalem (John 2:13-18).
    • Holy anger does not involve self-defence, but a de-fence of others or of a principle (against injustice, harassment, etc). Anger at an injustice inflicted against oneself is also appropriate. Hence, anger is not always sin.
    • The second type of anger comes with agitation or rage. This anger becomes sin when:
    • It is motivated by pride (James 1:20).
    • It is unproductive and distorts God’s purposes (1
      Corinthians 10:31).
      It is allowed to linger or hijacked by the devil especially when the angry one refuses to be pacified, holds a grudge, or keeps it all inside (Ephesians
      4:26-27).
    • It produces poisonous speech which is a common characteristic of a fallen man (Bomans 3:13-14).
      It is allowed to boil over without restraint, resulting in a scenario in which hurt is multiplied (Proverbs 29:11), leaving devastation in its wake.
      One obvious sign that anger has turned to sin is when, instead of attacking the problem at hand, we attack the person (Ephesians 4:15-19).
      The consequences of out-of-control anger are devastating and irreparable.

    LESSON 48: Is It Only Believers In Christ Living Holy That Will Make It To Heaven? What About People Of Other Religions (Non-Christians) That Are Doing Good?

    After the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God, in His mercy and love for mankind started making plans to redeem and reconcile them to Himself. The provision to transfer the sin of man to innocent animals failed overtime because man kept returning to his vomit (Hebrews 9:12-14; 2 Peter 2:22). God cannot compromise on His standard. There has to be punishment for sins committed and the price is death (2 Thessalonians 1:6; Romans 6:23). Our good does not outweigh our bad (Isaiah 64:6).

    Only God can redeem man from the nature of sin that we inherited through Adam, so God came in the flesh (as God the son-Jesus Christ) to live on earth like man (in human form). Jesus was tested and tried by all the forces of life yet without sin

    (John 14:30; Hebrews 4:15). Since, it is required that the blood of the innocent must be shed for there to be remission of sin, Jesus (without sin) laid down His life, took the sin of the whole worl upon Himself, and died to pay the ultimate price required by the law to save mankind from eternal damnation and destruction (2 Corinthians 5:21).

    All that is required from sinful humans now is to believe in the love of God and embrace the grace that brings salvation through Jesus (Titus 2:11).

    The only one that gives salvation is Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).

    Jesus made it clear that He came from heaven. and would go back to heaven to create room for as many as would believe Him (John 14:1-3). Не emphasised that nobody can get to heaven except by Him (John 14:6) and anyone that does not believe in Him is already condemned (John 3:18, 36).

    There is no amount of good deed that can replace the provision made by God to save humanity.

    Remember Cornelius (Acts 10). Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven and ONLY those who accept Him as LORD and SAVIOUR, living by faith in Him to the end will make it to heaven.

    GLORY BE TO GOD. GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS’ NAME. AMEN.

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, help me to understand the meaning of the second death in Jesus’ name.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    The teacher should allow the assistant teacher to review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: Revelation 20:11-15

    11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
    12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
    13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
    14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
    15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8.

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    The second death is one of the final events in the Bible described as the eternal death in “the lake which burn with fire and brimstone” (Revelation 21:8).

    It is a “death” in that it is a separation from God, the Giver of life. It is called the “second” because it follows physical death. The eternal agony in the lake of fire is the second death.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To enlighten believers on the reality of the second death.

    TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this study, students should be able to:

    • Describe the term second death.
    • Identify the candidates of the second death.
    • Explain the call to action to avoid the second death.

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

    a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignment.

    b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.

    c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignment.

    TEXT REVIEW: Revelation 20:11-15

    This passage identities three things that will characterise the second death namely:

    i. Death.
    ii. ….
    iii…..

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method

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

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: CANDIDATES OF THE SECOND DEATH

    A. The Bible makes it clear that those who overcome and share in the first resurrection will not experience the second death (Revelation 2:11; 20:6).

    i. The second death is exclusively for those who rejected Christ and His saving grace.

    ii. These include “the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars.” (Revelation 21:8).

    B. At the end of time, even death and hell will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14).

    i. In addition, every person not included in the book of life will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:15).

    ii. This condition will be final; the destination is permanent.

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Using Luke 16:24 as a reference, the class should mention some of the likely experiences of those who will partake in the second death.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: CALL TO ACTION

    A. The inevitability of Christ’s return (Mark 13:33) and the second death should motivate:

    i. How we live (Matthew 5:16).

    ii. How we witness the gospel to unbelievers (2 Timothy 4:2).

    B. This is because God has no pleasure in the death of sinners (Ezekiel 33:11) and He is exercising a lot of patience tor sinners to repent and be saved (2 Peter 3:8-2).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Students should discuss how they plan to help their unsaved relatives/friends escape the second death before it is too late (Reference: Luke 16:27-31)

    CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 23 August 2026

    The second death is a reference to the lake of fire where those who are separated from God by their sin will dwell for eternity. Be holy!

    EVALUATION:

    What is the call to action for believers on the second death?

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, help me to make heaven in Jesus’ name.

    ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual Lesson 51

    Mention two (2) things you are doing to avoid the second death (No Marks).

    RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 50 (16 AUGUST 2026)

    TOPIC: THE RESURRECTION

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, help me to comprehend the mystery of the resurrection.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    The teacher should allow the assistant teacher to review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: John 5:28-29

    28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
    29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” Daniel 12:2.

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    Scripture reveals that resurrection is a reality and this life is not all that there is. While death is the end of physical life, it is not the end of human existence.

    Everyone will be raised from the dead, but not everyone will share the same destiny (Acts 24:15; Matthew 25:46). The New Testament reveals further details of separate resurrections for the just and the unjust.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To study about the resurrection.

    TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this study, students should be able to:

    • Understand the significance of the resurrection.
    • Know the two categories of resurrection.
    • Explain the stages of the first resurrection.
    • Differentiate between the first resurrection and the second resurrection.

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

    a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignment.

    b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.

    c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignment.

    TEXT REVIEW: John 5:28-29.

    Jesus in declaring His authority to execute judgement over all things emphasised that even the dead will hear His voice and those who have done good will be resurrected unto life while those who did evil will be resurrected unto damnation.

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method

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

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE FIRST RESURRECTION

    A. Revelation 20:4-6 mentions a “first resurrection” and identifies those involved as “blessed and holy.”

    i. The second death (the lake of fire, Revelation 20:14) has no power over these individuals.
    ii. The first resurrection, then, is the raising of all believers.
    iii. It corresponds with Jesus’ teaching of the “resurrection of the just” (Luke 14:14) and the “resurrection of life” (John 5:29).

    B. The first resurrection takes place in various stages:

    i. Jesus Christ Himself – the “first fruits” (1 Corinthians
    15:20, paved the way for the resurrection of all who believe in Him (1 Peter 1:3). Christ’s resurrection is the basis of the Christian’s certainty that all people who have died will one day be raised to face fair and even-handed judgement by Jesus Christ (Acts
    17:30-31).

    ii. The saints who slept were raised after Christ’s resurrection to make an appearance in Jerusalem (Matthew 27:50-53).

    iii. There will be the resurrection of “the dead in Christ” at the Lord’s return (1 Thessalonians 4:16). It will occur at the time of the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). The apostle Paul explained that not all Christians will die, but all will be changed, i.e., given ‘resurrection-type’ bodies (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).
    Christians who are alive and those who have already died will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and be with Him always.

    iv. The resurrection of the believers in Jesus who died during the tribulation and the martyrs at the end of the tribulation (Revelation 20:4). Some of the peo ple left behind on earth will repent during this time and trust in Jesus as their Saviour. Tragically, most of them will pay for their faith in Jesus by losing their lives (Revelation 6:9-11; 7:9, 13-14). These will be resurrected at Christ’s return (second phase) to reign with Him for a thousand years on earth (Revelation 20:4,6).

    v. Isaiah 65:17-20 suggests another resurrection at the end of the millennium. Some believers may die a physical death during the millennium.

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Using Isaiah 65:17-20, students should discuss the possibility of having some believers still living in their physical body during the millennium.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE SECOND RESURRECTION

    This is the resurrection of those who rejected Jesus as their saviour;

    i. They will experience the second death or eternal separation from God.

    ii. It is the raising of all unbelievers and the wicked, judged at the great white throne before being cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).

    iii. It corresponds with Jesus’ teaching of the “resurrection of damnation” (John 5:29).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    When will the second resurrection take place? Discuss.

    CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 16 August 2026

    What great rejoicing will attend the first resurrection!
    What great anguish at the second!
    What a responsibility we have to share the Gospel! (Jude 23-24).

    EVALUATION:

    Mention the stages of the first resurrection.

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, I refuse to partake in the second resurrection in Jesus’ name.
