RCCG YAYA SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 17 (27 DECEMBER 2026)

TOPIC: GRATITUDE

OPENING PRAYER:

Almighty God, help me to learn how to be grateful at all times in Jesus’ name.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

The teacher should allow the Assistant Teacher to review the previous week’s lesson.

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Philippians 4:10, 13-16

[10] But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
[13] I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
[14] Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
[15] Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
[16] For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

MEMORY VERSE:

“Greet Mary, who laboured much for us.” Romans 16:6 (NKJV).

LESSON INTRODUCTION

Gratitude is the quality of being thankful, the readiness to show appreciation for the kindness, help or support received. Sometimes, acts of benevolence are a demonstration of love and/or honour, not necessarily because the giver has in abundance or the receiver is in dire need. Gratitude is often triggered by a deep sense of thoughtfulness and humility (Luke 17:15-17; Romans 16:1-16).

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM: To encourage believers to develop a heart of gratitude.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: Through this lesson, students should be able to:

• Define gratitude.
• State the reasons for gratitude.
• Explain the approach to gratitude.

TEXT REVIEW: Philippians 4:10, 13-16

The apostle Paul, in this passage, was full of deep gratitude to the Church at Philippi for their generosity towards him, especially in meeting his physical needs. He says:

i. I rejoice in the Lord….. V10
ii. I can do all……V13
iii. You have done….. V14
iv. You Philippians…. V15
v. Even….. V16

TEACHING METHOD: The Discussion Method.

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

LESSON OUTLINE 1: REASONS FOR GRATITUDE

A. Helpers are gifts from God (John 3:27).

i. It takes a heart that is generous and selfless to support others.

ii. God is mindful of our good deeds to others (Hebrews 6:10), so being thankful to others for their good acts is proof that we are God’s children.

B. Gratitude makes givers feel recognised and valued, thereby increasing their likelihood of rendering more help in the future (Luke 17:17-19).

i. Showing gratitude also keeps us from feeling envious, resentful or entitled (Proverbs 14:30).

ii. It fosters humility and joy, which are capable of drawing one closer to God and His blessings.

iii. Thankfulness strengthens your connections and improves the quality of your relationship with others.

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Is it a sin to feel there is nothing to be grateful for?

LESSON OUTLINE 2: APPROACH TO GRATITUDE

The Teacher should discuss how to approach gratitude and then use the points below to balance the discussion.

Valuing people’s acts of kindness and showing gratitude is an attitude we should cultivate. To show gratitude:

1. Recognise that every act of kindness (whether significant or small) deserves your appreciation (Philippians 4:10).
2. Acknowledge by mentioning specifically the help or benefit you received (Philippians 4:16; Romans 16:2-3).
3. Communicate your gratitude promptly to avoid it being seen as an afterthought (Ecclesiastes 3:1; Philippians 4:14).
4. You may further explain the importance or impact the act has made.
5. Reciprocate with kindness according to your ability (Joshua 6:25; 1 Samuel 15:6).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Is it right to always show gratitude in some other ways without using words?

CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 27 December 2026

Gratitude is a constructive way to respond to acts of kindness.

EVALUATION:

Mention four approaches to gratitude.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Father, I receive the grace to show gratitude through the right approach in Jesus’ name.

ASSIGNMENT: RCCG YAYA Lesson 17

Write five (5) ways to show gratitude to someone who has helped you in a small but meaningful way. (2X5=10 marks).

TOPIC: THE BLESSEDNESS OF GIVING

OPENING PRAYER:

My Father, please open my eyes to the blessedness of giving.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

The teacher should allow the Assistant Teacher to review the previous week’s lesson.

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Corinthians 9:5-11

[5] Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
[6] But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
[7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
[8] And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
[9] (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
[10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
[11] Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

MEMORY VERSE:

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38 (NKJV)

LESSON INTRODUCTION

Giving is an act of providing something, especially money, materials or other resources, to help others or support a cause. In a biblical context, it means to share one’s blessings, talents, and resources with others and demonstrate love, generosity, and trust in God’s provision. It is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith that shows God’s generous nature and our love for Him and others. In this study, we will consider the biblical principles of giving, the blessings of giving and what implications these have for our lives.

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM: To unravel the blessedness of giving.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: Through this lesson, students should be able to:

• Define giving.
• Highlight the biblical principles of giving.
• Mention the blessings of giving.

TEXT REVIEW: 2 Corinthians 9:5-11

• In his Second Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul the apostle teaches that giving should be from a willing, generous heart, and not done grudgingly. V5-7
• He encourages believers to give cheerfully, because generosity leads to spiritual and material sufficiency, as God can “make all grace abound,” supplying every need. V8-9
• The blessedness of giving is seen in God’s provision, spiritual growth, and multiplied blessings, especially for those who give willingly and cheerfully. V10
• Giving is portrayed not as loss, but as an act that produces righteousness, thanksgiving, and greater harvests of blessing. V11

TEACHING METHOD: Lecture and Discussion Methods.

TIME MANAGEMENT: The teacher should share the outline time equally.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES OF GIVING

A. God’s generosity is the foundation of giving.

i. He gave His only Son – Jesus Christ, to save humanity from sin (John 3:16; Matthew 1:21).

ii. This ultimate act of generosity sets the standard for giving.

B. The Bible admonishes believers to give bountifully, sacrificially, willingly, and joyfully (2 Corinthians 9:6-7).

i. When we give sacrificially, we demonstrate our commitment to God’s kingdom (2 Samuel 24:24).

ii. Giving is an act of worship and a proof of our devotion to God.

iii. We also express our gratitude for His blessings in our lives when we give.

C. Some biblical instances of generous giving include:

i. Abraham, who gave ‘tithes of all’ to Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18-20).

ii. The early church shared their possessions to meet one another’s needs (Acts 2:44-45).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

How true is the notion that there are people who have nothing to give?

LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE BLESSINGS OF GIVING

1. Giving brings spiritual blessings, including joy, peace, and a deeper relationship with God (Acts 20:35).
2. When we give, we experience God’s presence and guidance in our lives (Acts 10:1-4; Hebrews 13:16).
3. Giving helps us grow in our faith and acknowledge that God will meet our needs (Philippians 4:19).
4. One way to know you have conquered greed is through giving (1 Timothy 6:17-18).
5. The Bible promises material blessings for those who give generously (Luke 6:38).
6. Generous giving brings prosperity (Proverbs 11:24-25).
7. Giving blesses others (Acts 4:34-35).
8. We also build relationships with others through giving (1 John 3:16-18).
9. Generosity fuels revival and kingdom expansion (Acts 4:32-35).
10. Ultimately, we lay up treasures in heaven through giving (Matthew 6:19-20; Luke 12:33; Proverbs 19:17).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Students should share a brief experience of how giving brought blessings.

CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 20 December 2026

Live to give, give to live. By giving sacrificially, willingly, and joyfully, we experience the blessings of giving, which include spiritual and material blessings.

EVALUATION:

Mention four biblical principles of giving.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Dear Lord, please let my giving always be from the place of gratitude, worship, a willing and joyful heart.

RCCG YAYA SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 15 (13 DECEMBER 2026)

TOPIC: THE RICH

OPENING PRAYER:

Father, help me to comprehend the meaning of true riches in Jesus’ name.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

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

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Mark 10:17-22

[17] And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
[18] And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
[19] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
[20] And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
[21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
[22] And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

MEMORY VERSE:

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” 3 John 1:2 (NKJV)

LESSON INTRODUCTION

One of the simple definitions of the word ‘rich’ is to possess a lot of money or material wealth. But, in addition to material wealth, to be rich also means to have desirable qualities in abundance. We shall focus on some of these needed qualities in addition to material wealth because a robust, rich individual must possess a rich soul, money and great qualities to serve God and bless humanity.

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM: To study true riches beyond material wealth.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: Through this lesson, students should be able to:

• Define the term “rich.”
• Explain the relationship between diligence and riches.
• State the biblical classification of riches.

TEXT REVIEW: Mark 10:17-22

In the Scriptures above, the rich young man who approached Jesus thought the way to the kingdom was by obeying the law, which he was so sure he had a perfect record in. He never saw it coming that sacrifice is equally important. Check the narrative:

• When Jesus was gone forth into the way, there came one running….. V17
• Jesus said to him….V18
• You know the commandments…. V19
• And he answered and said…..V20
• Then Jesus beholding him….. V21
• And he was sad at that saying….. V22

TEACHING METHOD: The Question and Answer Method.

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

LESSON OUTLINE 1: DILIGENCE AND RICHES

Question: Is there any connection between riches and diligence?

Answer: Yes, there is a relationship between diligence and riches. Let us examine the following:

A. Great and sustainable riches come with a lot of diligence. This is because diligence is a major hallmark of riches.

i. A diligent hand brings wealth because hard work and persistence culminate in prosperity (Proverbs 10:4).

ii. It drastically turns an individual into a ruler who calls the shots and dominates over the lazy (Proverbs 12:24).

iii. A diligent person is rich in accountability; this is visible in that his substance is precious and not allowed to waste due to laziness (Proverbs 12:27).

iv. It promotes to a high level of distinctiveness and royalty (Proverbs 22:29).

v. A flourishing heart is preserved through diligent and careful thoughts (Proverbs 4:23).

B. The Christian walk of faith and other virtues like godliness, temperance, etc., will be accomplished through diligence (2 Peter 1:5).

i. It will take diligence to sustain our rich faith till the end (Hebrews 6:11-12).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

In line with Isaiah 48:17, which is more important, God’s help or your diligence?

LESSON OUTLINE 2: BIBLICAL CLASSIFICATIONS OF RICHES

Question: Are there desirable qualities that can be regarded as a biblical classification of riches?

Answer: Yes, there are some biblical classifications which could also mean desirable qualities of riches. These include:

1. Bountiful Eyes: This is being open-handed and compassionate, especially towards the poor. It is to show kindness without holding back (Proverbs 22:9).
2. Good Health: This has to do with the numerous aspects of life. It ranges from complete physical, mental and social well-being (Isaiah 58:11), including the ability to have a positive outlook, manage stress and enjoy life to its fullest (Ecclesiastes 5:19).
3. Prosperous Soul: This is a soul that is saved from eternal condemnation (John 3:18), having accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour. A rich soul walks in the truth of God’s word daily (Psalm 119:11). The Apostle John, in his epistle in 3 John 1:2, marries the prosperity of the soul with material and physical well-being.
4. Good Works: A deliberate and consistent effort to do good to humanity. It is to be generous in service and be kind-hearted to those in need. It is the willingness to be always ready to help and reach out to others (1 Timothy 6:18).
5. Rich Towards God: Here, God comes first, and every other thing follows (Matthew 6:33). It is also to acknowledge that true riches are from God (Proverbs 8:17-18) and instead of needless accumulation of wealth (Luke 12:16-21); resources and gifts are used to serve God (Matthew 6:19-21; 1 Timothy 6:17-18).
6. Spiritual Riches: This comes through faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus was made poor through His death on the cross for us to be rich through the grace of His Holy Spirit and be a partaker of eternal life (2 Corinthians 8:9).
7. God’s Blessings: True prosperity is from God (Proverbs 10:22). This type of riches is diverse and includes peace of mind and unlimited joy (Philippians 4:7; Romans 15:13).
8. Humility And God’s Fear: The fear of the Lord, which is accompanied by humility, produces riches, honour and life (Proverbs 22:4).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

How is God’s idea of riches different from the riches of the world?

CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 13 December 2026

True riches are holistic.

EVALUATION:

Mention five biblical classifications of riches.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Father, please help me to build the desirable qualities of riches for a holistic life in Jesus’ name.

ASSIGNMENT: RCCG YAYA Lesson 15

Give a Bible reference each to support these five examples of true riches that a believer can possess according to God’s word: faith, godly wisdom, love for God and others, integrity and peace (2X5=10 marks).

RCCG YAYA SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 14 (6 DECEMBER 2026)

TOPIC: THE POOR

OPENING PRAYER:

Father, open me up on how to avoid poverty in Jesus’ name.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

Teachers should welcome students to the second quarter of Sunday school for the year 2026/2027.

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Proverbs 10:14-17

[14] Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
[15] The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
[16] The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
[17] He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

MEMORY VERSE:

“The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; The destruction of the poor is their poverty.” Proverbs 10:15 (NKJV)

LESSON INTRODUCTION

Generally, when there is a mention of the four-letter word “poor,” a lack of money readily comes to mind, but being poor is beyond a lack in financial resources alone, because some people are so poor, the only thing they have is money. To be poor also means to be deficient in a specified way, to be inadequate, perform poorly, feel inferior, etc. In this lesson, we shall look at other forms of poverty and ways to develop a positive mindset against poverty.

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM: To study forms of poverty and ways to develop a positive mindset against poverty.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: Through this lesson, students should be able to:

a. State what it means to be poor.
b. Mention forms of poverty.
c. Explain how to change their mindset about poverty.

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

• Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignments.
• Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
• Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

TEXT REVIEW: Proverbs 10:14-17

The wisdom of King Solomon is brought to the fore here. In these proverbs, he compared the actions of four characters with their counterparts and laid before us the responsibility to choose whose side we want:

A. The Wise versus the Fool: Wise people store….. …..VS.14

B. The Rich versus the Poor: The rich man’s wealth…..Vs.15

C. The Righteous versus the Wicked: The labour of the righteous……. Vs.16

D. The Obedient versus the Disobedient: He who keeps instruction …..Vs.17

TEACHING METHOD: The Question And Answer Method.

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

LESSON OUTLINE 1: BEYOND MONEY

Question: Apart from being poor monetarily, are there other areas in which one can be poor?

Answer: Yes, one can be poor in the following areas:

1. Health: Poor health is a great disadvantage in life and a high level of poverty (Job 2:7-8). It is the inability of an individual to function normally either physically or mentally (Psalm 6:2). This condition is often associated with pain (1 Timothy 5:23; Psalm 41:3).
2. Speech: The incessant usage of foul language and words that do not edify. Jesus in Matthew 12:36-37 warns that we shall give account of every idle word on the day of judgement. Also, speaking spitefully to reduce others is a poor form of communication (Proverbs 12:18).
3. Thoughts: Not using the mind effectively to generate noble thoughts and ideas to benefit and prosper oneself and humanity (Philippians 4:8). A combination of consistent wandering and evil thoughts also has a link with poverty (Romans 12:2; Mark 7:21-23).
4. Social: Withdrawal syndrome, low self-worth (Numbers 13:33), low self-esteem and loneliness (1 Kings 19:4, 10) are indicators of a poor social life.
5. Relationship: Not being able to manage and sustain a cordial rapport due to impatience, anger (Proverbs 22:24-25), suspicion, fear, doubt, complex, etc. Furthermore, the inability to sustain a relationship with God through consistent fellowship, study of His word, prayers, holy living, etc., is a pointer to a poor bond with our Maker (Acts 17:27).
6. Intellect: This is a major mental issue that has to do with difficulties in reasoning, adaptable behaviours (Proverbs 12:15), problem-solving, etc. This can sometimes manifest through opposition to critical thinking or a noble change (Proverbs 23:23).
7. Emotions: A poor emotional state is a delicate and serious matter that has to do with negative conditions. It manifests through frustration (Psalm 42:5), panic, anger (Proverbs 29:22), and gloominess.
8. Spiritual: Any soul that is unsaved or lukewarm is poor (Mark 8:35-37; Luke 7:22b; Revelation 3:16-17).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Discuss how a poverty mindset can affect a believer’s relationship with God.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: CHANGE THE MINDSET

Question: Can we overcome poverty?

Answer: Yes, in the following ways:

A. Poverty can be dealt with, but it must start with a positive mindset. For instance, health is wealth, and you are what you eat.

i. We must eat right and healthy, do exercises and get enough sleep and rest as when due (Proverbs 25:16; 1 Timothy 4:8).

ii. Avoid corrupt communications and talk less with wisdom (Ephesians 4:29; Proverbs 18:21).

iii. We must guard our hearts and engage in positive thinking (Proverbs 4:23).

iv. Be smart and associate with the right people (Proverbs 13:20).

B. Be flexible to positive changes, forgive easily and grow to forget (Ephesians 4:32; Matthew 6:14), live a life free from bitterness (Ephesians 4:31; Hebrews 12:15).

• Stay free from financial poverty (Proverbs 10:4).
• Be up on your game and use your ideas effectively (Proverbs 12:24).
• Develop a positive attitude; let your fear begin to fear you (2 Timothy 1:7).
• Love God and your person. Be free.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

What practical steps can a believer take to truly overcome financial/material poverty?

CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 6 December 2026

God wants us to live life to its fullness; do not allow any kind of poverty to shortchange you.

EVALUATION:

State four actions that show a positive change in mindset on poverty.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Father, please do not allow poverty to short-change me. Help me to live life to its fullness in Jesus’ name.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE UNGODLY

The Psalmist describes the ungodly as the reverse of the righteous, both in character and condition – “The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away” (Psalm 1:4).

A. “The ungodly are not so” means:

i. They are led by the counsel of the wicked (Proverbs 16:27).

ii. They are in the way of sinners (Proverbs 4:14-15).

iii. They are led to the seat of the scornful (Proverbs 19:28).

B. “…But are like the chaff which the wind drives away” means:

i. They are of no worth at all in God’s account, no matter how highly they value themselves (Isaiah 17:13-14).

ii. They are vain and empty without the knowledge of God (Psalm 10:4; 14:1).

iii. They have no substance in them (Nahum 2:10).

iv. They are easily driven to and fro by every wind of doctrine and temptation of Satan (Hebrews 13:9; James 1:14-15).

v. They are not steadfast (2 Peter 2:14-15).

vi. They neither have root nor moisture (Mark 4:5-6).

vii. They are destitute of all that is good (Romans 7:18; Proverbs 17:20a).

viii. They are sensual and do not have the Spirit of God (Jude 19).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Students should look inward and rate themselves on whether they are godly or not.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE JUDGEMENT OF THE UNGODLY

A. Psalm 1:5 says, “Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgement, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.”

i. On the day of judgement, the ungodly shall be found guilty (Psalm 9:17; Romans 1:18).

ii. They shall bow their head in shame and confusion, and all their pleas and excuses shall be overruled as frivolous (Psalm 44:15; Proverbs 3:35).

iii. Their future state will be determined by an irreversible sentence (Luke 13:27).

B. “..Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous” means:

i. They will be driven away from the presence of the Lord into everlasting destruction (Job 21:17; Hosea 13:2-3).

ii. They shall not stand in the same place with the righteous (Matthew 25:41).

C. Finally, God is angry with the ungodly (Psalm 7:11).

i. Psalm 1:6 tells us that the way of the ungodly shall perish because the very way they have chosen and resolve to walk naturally tends towards destruction (Proverbs 10:29; Proverbs 14:12).

ii. Their way shall perish because all they do is offensive to Him (Psalm 37:20).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

The class should discuss what they can do to avoid the doom of the ungodly.

CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 22 November 2026

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Psalm 1:1-3

[1] Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2] But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

MEMORY VERSE:

“The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.” Psalm 92:12 (NKJV)

LESSON INTRODUCTION

Psalm one stands as a kind of introduction to the rest of the Psalms. Its subject matter touches on two themes: the blessedness of the righteous and the doom of the ungodly. In this lesson, we shall do an exposition on Psalm 1:1-3, which deals with the character of the righteous and the conditions for divine blessings.

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM: To teach the students the blessings accrued to the righteous.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: Through this study, students are expected to:

• Describe who a righteous man is.
• Understand who the Bible calls the “ungodly,” the “sinner” and the “scornful.”
• Understand that sin is progressive.
• Identify the conditions for divine blessings and their results.

i…..V2a.
ii……V2b.

C. That kind of man will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that:

i……V3a.
ii……V3b.
iii. …..V3c.

TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method.

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

LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE CHARACTER OF THE RIGHTEOUS

A. The Psalmist begins with the character of a godly man in verse one: “Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful.” To be blessed means to be highly favoured by divine grace and to enjoy the bliss of heaven.

I. Firstly, ‘the man’ receives the blessings of God because he does not ‘walk in the counsel of the ungodly.’

i. The counsels of the ungodly are advice and plans that do not conform to God’s word (Proverbs 1:10; 2 Samuel 13:3-5, 14).

ii. ‘The ungodly’ live or act without the consciousness of God.

iii. ‘The man’ (a believer in Christ) who will enjoy the blessings of God must not embrace ungodly principles or practices (Ephesians 5:11; Proverbs 24:1).

II. Secondly, ‘the man’ does not stand in the ways of sinners (Proverbs 1:11-15; 4:14-17).

i. That is, he does not compromise or submit to the position of sinners (Daniel 3:16-18).

ii. ‘The man’ (a believer in Christ) who will enjoy the blessings of God must be firm in his faith and flee from every appearance of evil (2 Timothy 2:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:22).

III. Thirdly, ‘the man’ does not sit in the seat of the scornful.

i. The scornful are those who mock the heavens or anything that represents God.

ii. They openly defy all that is sacred and make a jest of sin (Exodus 5:2; 2 Chronicles 32:10-15).

iii. Scorners are un-teachable because they refuse to listen (Proverbs 9:8a; 15:12).

iv. ‘The man’ that will be blessed does not mingle with these people.

B. Psalm 1:1 therefore implies that sin is progressive, i.e. one evil act leads to another; He who acts by bad counsel may soon do evil deeds, and he who gives himself to evil doings may end up in apostasy (James 1:14-15).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

The class should discuss how one sin can lead to another.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE CONDITION FOR DIVINE BLESSINGS AND ITS RESULTS

A. The condition for being blessed is stated in Psalm 1:2.

i. It means the man’s will, desire, affection, motives, and every principle in his soul are on the side of God and His truth.

ii. He takes up the law of the Lord (God’s word) as the rule of his life (Psalm 119:1, 97; James 1:25).

iii. To meditate on God’s word is to discourse with oneself concerning the great things contained in it, with a close application of the mind.

iv. This must continue until the word becomes a reality in his life (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:11).

B. The result of the fulfilment of the condition for being blessed is found in Psalm 1:3.

i. A man planted by the rivers of water is likened to a man who has a regular supply of nourishment and refreshments.

ii. He experiences irreversible fruitfulness and will not suffer loss of any kind (Jeremiah 17:7-8).

iii. He will be healthy all-round, prosperous and enjoy the fruit of his labour (Psalm 92:12-14).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Students should identify the consequences of not fulfilling the conditions for divine blessings.

CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 15 November 2026

To remain blessed, abstain from every appearance of evil and live by the word of God.

EVALUATION:

Mention the conditions a man must fulfil to be blessed.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Help me, O Lord, to fulfil the conditions for divine blessings.
