    RCCG YAYA SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 10 (8 NOVEMBER 2026)

    TOPIC: THE EXTRA MILE

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, please give me the strength to go the extra mile.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    Teachers should allow the students to review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Samuel 23:13-17

    [13] And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
    [14] And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
    [15] And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
    [16] And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
    [17] And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD.” 1 Chronicles 11:18 (NKJV)

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    The extra mile is the act of willingly taking up a responsibility, challenge, etc. and delivering a result that is beyond expectation. It is surpassing the norm by taking further steps to get something done. This is a feat that often involves making extra efforts to accomplish a task or achieve a desired goal. This lesson shall delve into what it takes to go the extra mile and the results.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To teach the youths the price of going the extra mile.

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

    • Describe the meaning of the extra mile.
    • Explain the “price” of going the extra mile.
    • Identify the result of going the extra mile.

    TEXT REVIEW: 2 Samuel 23:13-17

    In this passage, David’s mighty men demonstrate the principle of going the extra mile through their act of loyalty and sacrifice.

    • Three warriors risk their lives to break through enemy lines just to …..V13-16
    • After receiving the water, David:

    i. Refused…. V17a
    ii. Poured it out as …..V17b
    iii. Saying that the men’s sacrifice was ….V17c

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method.

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

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE PRICE

    Going the extra mile comes at a price. We shall examine some of the qualities needed below:

    1. Doggedness: This is the act of being resolute to achieve a feat by putting in more effort and going beyond the established standard (Judges 8:4).
    2. Optimism: Being positive-minded and exhibiting a can-do attitude without any form of restraint (1 Samuel 17:32-37).
    3. Clarity: Having a clear direction on how to accomplish a task. It is a state of knowing exactly where one is going and pursuing that objective with clarity of purpose (Nehemiah 2:15-18).
    4. Aiming High: This is moving above the normal level where others often stop and aiming high to achieve more in a better and more excellent way (1 Corinthians 14:18).
    5. Hard Work: Going the extra mile is an invitation to work hard and smart more than others. This involves putting in unrelenting efforts to complete a task and being more strategic in getting results (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12; Proverbs 6:6-8).
    6. Taking Up Tough Tasks: This is taking up intimidating tasks with the determination to resolve them. It helps one to handle tough situations and become strong in the process (Esther 4:16).
    7. Dedication: This is being devoted to a course and making sure that the solution is proffered irrespective of all odds (Proverbs 22:29).
    8. No Excuses: Those who go the extra mile are not given to excuses. They are driven by their vision for accomplishment and have no room to rationalise failure (Ecclesiastes 11:4; Luke 14:18-20).
    9. Discipline: They are well-organised and have no time for frivolities. They are not lazy and often deny themselves pleasures such as excessive sleep, needless talks, etc. (Romans 12:11; Proverbs 6:4-5; Ephesians 5:4).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Students should share an experience of a time they had to sacrifice comfort or time to help others.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE RESULTS

    1. Those who go the extra mile often stand out in what they do because they perform better than others (Daniel 1:19-20).
    2. These people also exhibit a high level of commitment to any task committed into their hands (Genesis 41:48-49).
    3. They are result-oriented and work to the optimum to achieve the set goal (Proverbs 21:5).
    4. They are exceptional in handling a project, work ethic or any responsibility assigned to them (Exodus 36:1).
    5. These people are always proactive due to their positive attitude (Philippians 4:13).
    6. Accountability is another hallmark of people who go the extra mile (Nehemiah 2:15-16).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Students should share an experience of a positive outcome of helping or serving beyond expectations.

    CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 8 November 2026

    We must go the extra mile to stand out physically, spiritually, academically, business-wise and in all spheres of life because going the extra mile is a pointer to success.

    EVALUATION:

    Mention five qualities of going the extra mile.

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, I exhibit a high level of loyalty and sacrifice in my endeavours in Jesus name.

    TOPIC: GOD’S TIMING

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, help me to comprehend Your timing.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

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

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: Acts 1:6-8

    [6] When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
    [7] And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
    [8] But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV)

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    God’s timing is significant in life (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). It is the perfect moment He has ordained for something to happen according to His will. It may be difficult for us to understand because it is not about our timing. God’s divine purpose for us starts before birth until we take our last breath. Sometimes, something can be a great idea and can even be a God idea, but for it to be successful, it must be in God’s timing.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To teach the concept of God’s timing.

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

    a. Describe the nature of God’s timing.
    b. Explain what it means to understand God’s timing.

    TEXT REVIEW: Acts 1:6-8

    Jesus told His disciples to focus on their primary assignment rather than get worried about the time of the restoration of the kingdom of Israel. For it is in trusting His word and doing His will that His plans are revealed. It reads:

    1. When they had come together….. V6.
    2. Jesus said to them ….. V7.
    3. You shall receive power…..V8.

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method.

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

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE NATURE OF GOD’S TIMING

    A. God’s timing is perfect.

    i. His timing is never early, and it is never late (John 11:21-23).

    ii. It is always purposeful (Ecclesiastes 8:6a).

    iii. He works all things for good in the lives of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

    iv. God is in complete control of everything and everyone (Psalm 31:15a).

    v. This is why Jesus told His disciples to focus on their primary assignment rather than get worried about the time of the establishment of His kingdom on earth (Acts 1:6-8).

    B. God’s timing is beautiful.

    i. It gives room for divine direction (Psalm 37:23).

    ii. It supplies hope of a great future (Jeremiah 29:11).

    C. It is not unlikely that we question God’s timing in our lifetime, especially when we are in a difficult situation (Psalm 34:19).

    i. God knows exactly where we are at every moment (Psalms 103:14-15; 139:7-8).

    ii. Sometimes, God uses hard times to strengthen us, allowing our Christian faith to mature and become complete (James 1:3-4).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Is it a sin to question God’s timing in one’s life? Discuss.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: KNOW GOD’S TIMING

    A. The key to understanding God’s timing is trust.

    i. Since human reasoning and understanding are limited, the Bible advises in Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding.”

    ii. We should not stubbornly insist on our timing and agenda (Proverbs 16:25; Psalm 37:23).

    iii. We need to know God to truly trust Him (Philippians 3:10).

    iv. The best way to know Him is by studying, meditating and obeying His word (Psalm 119:105; Joshua 1:8).

    v. This will help us to discern God’s timing and make informed decisions (1 Chronicles 12:32).

    B. We must learn to wait patiently for God (Psalm 37:7).

    i. God is good to those who wait for Him (Lamentations 3:25).

    ii. Our patience often reveals the degree of trust we have in God’s timing.

    iii. When we wait on the LORD, we receive divine energy and strength (Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 27:14).

    iv. While we wait, we must stay connected to God through prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

    v. Finally, we need the help of the Holy Spirit to understand God’s timing and make the right decision at the right time (Isaiah 30:21).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Is it possible to know God’s exact timing? Discuss.

    CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 1 November 2026

    God’s timing is the best; do not run ahead of Him.

    EVALUATION:

    Identify ways to know God’s timing.

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, give me the grace to trust Your timing in Jesus’ name.

    ASSIGNMENT: RCCG YAYA Lesson 9

    RCCG YAYA SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 8 (25 OCTOBER 2026)

    TOPIC: EFFECTIVE PRAYER

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, teach me how to pray effective prayers.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    The teacher should allow one of the students to review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: James 5:16-18

    [16] Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
    [17] Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
    [18] And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.” Proverbs 15:29 (NKJV)

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    To be effective means to be successful in producing a desired result. Prayer is the act of communicating with God through words, thoughts, or actions to express thanks, praise, requests, confessions, etc. Effective prayer, therefore, means to communicate successfully to God what is intended and get the anticipated result. It is powerful (James 5:16b), and centred on God’s will (Philippians 4:6; 1 John 5:14).

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To teach the church the keys to effective prayer.

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

    • Know what effective prayer means.
    • Explain the keys and hindrances to effective prayer.
    • Understand the kinds of effective prayer.

    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: James 5:16-18

    James, in this passage, addresses the effectiveness of the prayer of a righteous man. Using Prophet Elijah as a case study, he admonished Christians to confess their trespasses to one another and pray for one another. Vs16a

    • That they may be healed. Vs16b
    • The effective….. Vs16c
    • Elias was…. Vs17
    • He prayed again….. Vs18

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method.

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

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE KEYS AND HINDRANCES

    A. Some of the keys to praying effectively are listed below:

    1. Uprightness: God delights in the prayers of the upright, that is, one who is saved and righteous (Proverbs 15:8).
    2. God’s Word: Effective prayer involves praying the word of God (John 15:7).
    3. Obedience: Obeying divine instructions and taking faith-based actions are keys to praying effectively (1 Kings 17:8-14; Luke 17:11-14).
    4. A Heart of Love: Prayer from a heart that is rooted in love avails much (Matthew 8:5-8, 13). It is difficult to pray for others if it is not coming from the place of love (Matthew 5:44-46).
    5. Persistence: Praying ceaselessly and maintaining a right relationship with God can move mountains (John 16:23-24).

    B. Some of the hindrances to effective prayer include:

    i. Disobedience (Proverbs 28:9).

    ii. Wrong motives (James 4:3).

    iii. Lack of faith or doubt (Hebrews 11:6; James 1:6-7).

    iv. Unforgiving attitudes (Mark 11:25).

    v. Ignoring the needy or the poor (Proverbs 21:13).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Mention the most important key to effective prayer, and why?

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE KINDS

    1. Prayer of Faith: This is a powerful kind of prayer rooted in deep confidence that God hears and answers prayer (Mark 11:24). It is also based on the demand of your rights and privileges in Christ (John 14:12-14; James 5:15). It involves applying your knowledge of God to get results through prayer (Hebrews 11:6).
    2. Prayer of Consecration: This is a prayer to be set apart or dedicated for a holy cause (John 17:17-19). It involves presenting your whole self; your mind, body, and will to God’s plans (Leviticus 20:7). Prayer of consecration is not a one-time event but must be life-long, demonstrating a willingness to continuously yield to God’s will, like Jesus did (Luke 22:42). Believers are called to offer themselves as a living sacrifice to God (Romans 12:1).
    3. Prayer of Intercession: This is standing in the gap on behalf of others to change a situation or course of events (Exodus 32:11-14). In His final prayer, Jesus prayed to the Father not only for His disciples but also for the unity of all future believers (John 17:18-21). The Holy Spirit intercedes for believers, helping us in our weakness when we do not know how to pray (Romans 8:26-27). Hebrews 7:25 emphasises that Christ, our High Priest, continually makes intercession for our ultimate salvation.
    4. Prayer of Supplication: Supplication involves approaching God with a plea for help or to make requests, rather than making demands (Philippians 4:6-7). Believers approach God’s throne of grace with confidence to receive mercy and help in times of need (Hebrews 4:16). Supplication is seen as a vital part of a Christian’s spiritual walk (Ephesians 6:18). It should be accompanied with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6). Supplications can be made for oneself (Philippians 4:6), other Saints (James 5:16), those in authority and the unsaved (1 Timothy 2:1-4).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    How does each of the different kinds of prayer strengthen a believer’s relationship with God?

    CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 25 October 2026

    You too can pray and get results.

    EVALUATION:

    Mention the keys to effective prayer.

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, help me to pray effectively and get maximum results in Jesus’ name.

    ASSIGNMENT: RCCG YAYA Lesson 8

    Using your understanding of the keys of effective prayers, list five areas you can and will engage the prayer of intercession for your family, friends and nation this week (2X5=10 marks).

    TOPIC: THE EAR GATE

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, filter my ears in Jesus’ name.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    The Teacher should allow one of the students to review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 13:13-17

    [13] Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
    [14] And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
    [15] For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
    [16] But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
    [17] For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left.” Isaiah 30:21 (NKJV)

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    The ear is a sensory/sensitive organ of the human body with two main functions: hearing and balance. It is mainly concerned with detecting, transmitting and transducing sound while the semicircular canals and vestibule of the inner ear work together to keep the body balanced. The ear is one of the means we receive information from the world around us. A gate is any means of access. The ear gate is thus a censor to be used to select what we allow into our soul and what we do with the information received; to run with or discard it.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To study self-control through information censor.

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

    • Define the term “ear-gate.”
    • Mention the characteristics of “dull ears.”
    • State the traits of “obedient ears.”

    TEXT REVIEW: Matthew 13:13-17

    In the Scriptures above, Jesus justified his reasons for speaking in parables to the people. It is basically because the people had dull eyes and ears.

    A. Read verses 13-15 and list out the characteristics of dull eyes and ears:

    i. …..
    ii. …..
    iii. …..
    iv. …..
    v. ……
    vi. …..

    B. Those whose eyes and ears are not dull are blessed because many people love to see and hear, but they cannot. It takes spiritual alignment to know, see and appreciate spiritual things.

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method.

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

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: “DULL EARS”

    A. Hebrews 5:11 discloses that some people have dull ears.

    i. These people lack interest in yielding to divine instructions and have difficulty in running with God’s command because their hearts are not cultivated (Matthew 13:15).

    ii. They exhibit a lack of understanding about the things of Christ and are not excited to take heed to the voice of the living God (Matthew 19:16-22).

    B. Other traits displayed by people who are dull of hearing include:

    1. Rebellion: They willingly revolt against divine instructions (Ezekiel 12:2).
    2. Refusal to Hearken: They do not listen attentively, so they find it difficult to comprehend and follow directions (Zechariah 7:8-11).
    3. Immaturity: They are undeveloped and cannot handle hard and sound teachings (Hebrews 5:11-12).
    4. They prefer to listen to fables instead of the truth of God’s word (2 Timothy 4:4).
    5. They love to hear teachers who will tell them what they want (2 Timothy 4:3).
    6. Their ears are not “circumcised” – not refined – so they hear slowly (Acts 7:51; Acts 28:27).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    How can we help people who have “dull ears?”

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: “OBEDIENT EARS”

    The teacher should explain ‘obedient ears’ as follows:

    A. A major trait of people with obedient ears is that:

    i. They completely obey the undiluted word of God without holding anything back (Exodus 24:7).

    ii. They believe in divine doings (Psalm 44:1).

    iii. They take to corrections (Proverbs 25:12).

    iv. Their obedience helps them to eat the good of the land as stated in Isaiah 1:19.

    v. They hold tenaciously to the truth of God’s word and run away from the lusts in the world (Joshua 24:24-25; 1 Peter 1:14).

    vi. They are not hypocrites (Ephesians 6:5-6).

    vii. They take delight in doing the will of God (Psalm 40:8).

    viii. They are quick to hear (James 1:19).

    ix. They cleave to God (Deuteronomy 13:4).

    x. They are His people (Psalm 100:3).

    B. We should note that:

    i. It is a blessing to obey God’s commandments (Deuteronomy 11:26-27).

    ii. Jesus also comes into the lives of those who hear His voice (John 10:27).

    iii. Jesus gives the Holy Ghost to those who obey Him (Acts 5:32).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Do you think you have “obedient ears?” Tell the class your reasons.

    CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 18 October 2026

    Although the reception of information is voluntary and within our power to choose, we must intentionally give heed to godly instructions to prosper and record success in life.

    EVALUATION:

    What are the characteristics of a “dull ear”?

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, anoint my ears and help me to obey You in all things in Jesus’ name.

    ASSIGNMENT: RCCG YAYA Lesson 7

    Students should mention five (5) ways to develop “obedient ears” (2X5=10 marks).

    [36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
    [37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
    [38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
    [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end.” Hebrews 3:14 (NKJV)

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    The Christian race requires a lot of perseverance. To run successfully will therefore entail fortitude and steadfastness, as we keep our gaze on the Lord Jesus to avoid distractions and encumbrances on the way. Our focus is to know that the road to eternity is narrow and we need to stand firm to the end so that, like Paul, we can say, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith… (2 Timothy 4:7-8).

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To teach youths what it means to be steadfast.

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

    • Define what it means to be steadfast.
    • Explain the concept of the narrow path and its importance in following Christ.
    • Highlight ways to stand firm in faith during challenges and temptations.

    TEXT REVIEW: Romans 8:35-39

    A. Paul the apostle, in this epistle, emphasises that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ.

    B. The passage teaches that steadfastness is not based on human strength, but on the assurance of God’s love. Even in suffering, believers are described as “more than conquerors,” meaning we remain spiritually victorious through Christ. V37

    C. From the list in the passage, write out 10 things not enough to separate believers from Christ’s love:

    i. …. vi. …..
    ii. ….. vii. …..
    iii. ….. viii. …..
    iv. ….. ix. …..
    v. …… x. ……

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method.

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

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE NARROW PATH

    A. The salvation experience is a wonderful one, but the road to eternal life is narrow.

    i. This way is so thin that Jesus says only a few find it (Matthew 7:13-14).

    ii. No wonder Jesus challenged anyone who wanted to come after him to deny self and take up their cross daily and follow Him (Matthew 16:24-25).

    iii. Self-denial is a major prerequisite for the journey on the narrow path (Luke 9:23).

    iv. Following Jesus is living a life of complete obedience to God’s word (John 10:27).

    v. It is about crucifying the flesh and living in the Spirit (Galatians 5:24-25).

    B. The cares of this world, lust, etc., are baits that easily take people off the narrow way (Mark 4:19).

    i. Demas swerved from the narrow way because of his love for this present world (2 Timothy 4:10).

    ii. Judas detoured from the narrow path because of his inordinate love for money (John 12:4-6; Luke 22:3-6).

    C. We must avoid every pitfall that wants to make us stumble on this narrow way (Psalm 119:133; Colossians 2:5-6).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Students should mention the temptations to resist daily to stay steadfast.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: STAND FIRM

    A. Christian pilgrims must stand firm in the faith without shifting grounds (Ephesians 6:10-11).

    i. We must be confident and steadfast till the end of our race (1 Corinthians 15:58).

    ii. This will also require hope that only Jesus is the anchor of our soul (Hebrews 6:19-20) and there is no need to try any other way because Christ remains the only way to salvation (John 14:6).

    B. The devil is our adversary, and we must steadfastly resist (1 Peter 5:8-9) all his antics to shift our focus from Jesus (Hebrews 12:2).

    i. It is expedient to stay away from sin and unbelief (Job 11:14-15; Hebrews 3:12-13).

    ii. Like Paul, we must boldly declare who we believe and cling to Him (2 Timothy 1:12).

    iii. Avoid being blown off balance by any kind of strange doctrine (Ephesians 4:14).

    iv. Holding on to our faith to the end will necessitate an unwavering walk with the Lord (Colossians 2:5-6).

    v. We must come to that unswerving resolve that to live is Christ and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21). Jesus all the way.

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    How far are you willing and ready to go with Jesus?

    CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 11 October 2026

    Be resolute in your faith in Christ Jesus because there is no other way.

    EVALUATION:

    Mention three ways to stand firm for Jesus.

    TOPIC: MY ENEMY: SATAN

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, uncover every satanic ploy before me in Jesus name.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    The teacher should review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: Isaiah 14:12-17

    [12] How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
    [13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
    [14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
    [15] Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
    [16] They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
    [17] That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” Revelation 12:12 (NKJV)

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    The “world” is a battleground, and the Christian life is a warfare. As Christians, we have a terrible enemy—Satan; who wants to destroy us (John 10:10a). Paul called on Christians to be “good soldiers” of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:3) and “to war a good warfare” (1 Timothy 1:18). Satan and his fallen angels are spirit-beings we cannot see, but they are real enemies of every child of God (Ephesians 6:11-12). We need to study the enemy’s tactics to understand how to resist him.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To teach the church how to maintain perpetual victory over Satan.

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

    • Recognise Satan as a real enemy.
    • Understand Satan’s strategies.
    • Learn how to resist Satan and his agents.

    TEXT REVIEW: Isaiah 14:12-17

    A. This passage provides a poetic description of the fall of a once-great figure, commonly referred to as Lucifer (later known as Satan). Identify five errors he committed according to what he said using the word “I”:

    i…..
    ii…..
    iii…..
    iv…..
    v…..

    B. In response to Lucifer’s error, God said:

    i. Yet you shall …..V15.
    ii. Those who see you …..V16.

    C. Satan’s core task is to cause a chaotic situation by provoking destruction and keeping people in bondage.

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method.

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

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: SATAN’S STRATEGY

    A. Satan’s terrible mission against man is to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10a).

    B. He knows that he has been defeated and eternally condemned to the lake of fire, but he wants to take many people with him (Revelation 20:7-10; 2 Peter 2:4). He does this by using:

    1. Lies: The Devil is called a liar and the father of all lies (John 8:44) who always attempts to counterfeit God’s principles and instructions through deception (Genesis 3:4-5, 13; Revelation 20:10).
    2. Fear: He uses fear to keep people in bondage and make them stagnant (1 Peter 5:8).
    3. Confusion: e.g. false doctrines (1 Timothy 4:1-3).
    4. Temptation and accusation: He tempts us to act on addictive urges and to yield to lust, impulses, selfishness and greed (Luke 4:13; 1 Thessalonians 3:5). He further accuses and condemns us for failing (Revelation 12:10).
    5. Contention: The Devil understands that disagreement is a potent weapon to subdue the limitless power in unity (1 Corinthians 11:18; Acts 15:39).
    6. Discouragement/depression: Satan effectively uses this tool on believers (1 Kings 19:4).
    7. Affliction: Satan afflicts people with sickness to hinder their efficiency (Job 2:7). He also afflicts when he gains access to a man’s life through unconfessed sin (Psalm 107:17).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Share any attack Satan has ever launched against you.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: HOW TO RESIST

    1. When you are tempted, submit yourself to God and command the devil to leave (James 4:7).
    2. Use the scriptures to subdue him (Matthew 4:4-11).
    3. Locate the way out (1 Corinthians 10:13).
    4. When Satan lies to you, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth and search the scriptures (John 8:32; 5:39a).
    5. When there is contention and conflict that can degenerate into disunity, seek to make peace immediately without delay (Hebrews 12:14; Romans 12:18).
    6. To overcome the strategy of discouragement/depression, engage yourself in serving others; work hard and avoid idleness, listen to godly music, recount your blessings and encourage yourself in the place of prayer (Ephesians 5:19; 1 Samuel 30:6).
    7. If you are sick, request for prayer from Elders in the Church or mature believers and exercise your faith in God’s ability to heal (James 5:14-15).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Have you used any methods above to defeat Satan’s strategy? Share with the class.

    CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teachers Manual 4 October 2026

    The word of God is a powerful tool given to believers to overcome Satan.

    EVALUATION:

    The students should give reason(s) Christians are called to be good soldiers of Christ as well as four ways to resist the devil.

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    TOPIC: THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST

    MEMORISE:

    But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
    Acts 1:8

    READ: Acts 5:25-33

    25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
    26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
    27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
    28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

    29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
    30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
    31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
    32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
    33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

    RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 29 SEPTEMBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE

    In today’s memory verse, Jesus told His disciples that they would receive power after the Holy Ghost comes upon them, and it happened exactly as He had said (Acts 2:1-43). The moment the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will suddenly become strong.
    You will become bold and empowered to achieve great things because Zechariah 4:6 says,….Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”

    Many people have failed in various endeavours because they have been trying to function solely by their own power. As long as a person keeps trying to do things solely by his or her own strength, there is a high probability that such a person will fail. However, when the Holy Spirit empowers a person, he or she is assured of a positive outcome.

    The power of the Holy Spirit turns cowards into mighty men and weaklings into great terrors to the kingdom of darkness. When this power came upon the apostles, the men who had been hiding from the religious leaders of their time began to confront them boldly. Today’s Bible reading reveals how Peter, who denied knowing Jesus when a maidservant pointed out that he was one of His disciples, boldly spoke about Jesus before those who threatened his life.

    I recall vividly that after I got born again at the University of Lagos in 1973, I had a Head of Department whose name was Professor Chike Obi.

    He was the greatest mathematician Africa had ever produced. Humanly speaking, he was a very good man, but I wondered how someone could be that good and not know the love of Christ. One Sunday evening in church, we prayed and were told to go and win souls, and I said, “When I get to the office tomorrow, ‘ll preach to my Head of Department.” When I got to the office, I went to him to say, “Good morning, sir,” and he thanked me in such a way that I froze and ran away. When I was baptised in the Holy Spirit, however, I became bold to preach to him. I received the power to succeed, win souls, and plant churches, and the power to win in life was also given to me.
    Beloved, I pray for you today that you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit just as I did and be empowered to reign in life and be a fruitful witness for Christ, in Jesus’ name.

    PRAYER POINT

    Dear Lord, please baptise me with the power
    of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name.

    TOPIC: LOVERS OF PLEASURES

    BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Peter 2:13-14

    13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
    14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” 2 Timothy 3:4.

    INTRODUCTION

    Lovers of pleasures are those who have invariably turned sensual pleasures, sensual gratifications, etc. to their god and therefore love and serve them instead of God. These people live for pleasure without restraints and are inordinately concerned with their interests above others.

    Paul, in 2 Timothy 3:1-4 states, lovers of pleasures as a sign of the last days. He used the Greek word “philodonos” meaning “lovers of pleasures” to emphasise that society will become engrossed and obsessed with the pursuit of their comfort, happiness and pleasure. We shall examine the dangers of sensual pleasures and remind ourselves of how to bring pleasure to God.

    Sensual pleasure is a carnal or worldly pleasure that naturally extinguishes all love and sense of God (2 Timothy 3:4-5). These fleshly lusts portend a lot of threats to its practitioners and those around them.

    Some dangers are:

    i. The word of God has no root in them because of the cares of this world and love for the pleasures of life (Luke 8:14).

    ii. They are careless in the way they live (Isaiah 47:8). This incessant love for pleasures often results in poverty (Proverbs 21:12).

    iii. They are sold out to lustful desires (Titus 3:3). 

    iv. A blind eye is turned to God’s judgement (Romans 1:32).

    v. These people will be judged because they take pleasure in sin (2 Thessalonians 2:12; 1 John 5:17a). 

    vi. It is rather unfortunate that these people are dead while they live (Romans 8:6; 1 Timothy 5:6).

    vii. The reward of unrighteousness awaits them (2 Peter 2:13).

    Furthermore, those who take pleasure in fleshly lusts are not subject to God’s law (Romans 8:7):

    i. Their growth is stunted as they refuse to leave the baby stage and still exhibit other carnal traits like strife, envy, etc. (1 Corinthians 3:1-3).

    ii They are self-gratifiers (Philippians 2:21) who run after mundane and earthly things and their god is their belly (Philippians 3:18-19; Numbers 11:4).

    iii. When every man is eager only for what he can get, and anxious to keep what he has, it makes men dangerous to one another.

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Share an experience you know or have heard about any danger of sensual pleasures.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: CREATED FOR GOD’S PLEASURE

    Revelation 4:11 discloses that we were created for God’s pleasure and we are to give Him glory and honour all the time.

    i. One of the ways to give God glory is to acknowledge Him in all that we do (Proverbs 3:6; Jeremiah 9:23-24); when this is done in complete obedience, it is accompanied by prosperity (Job 36:11).

    ii. We honour God when we surrender totally to Him (Psalm 37:5; 55:22).

    We also give pleasure to God when we do the following:

    i. Live uprightly (1 Chronicles 29:17).

    ii. Stay away from anything that defiles (Ezra 10:11). 

    iii. Trust Him (Psalm 36:7-8).

    iv. Do His will (Psalm 103:21).

    v. Seek to know Him for His greatness (Psalm 111:2). 

    vi. Fear Him and hope in His mercy (Psalm 147:10-11).

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Peter 2:13-14

    13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
    14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” 2 Timothy 3:4.

    INTRODUCTION

    Lovers of pleasures are those who have invariably turned sensual pleasures, sensual gratifications, etc. to their god and therefore love and serve them instead of God. These people live for pleasure without restraints and are inordinately concerned with their interests above others.

    Paul, in 2 Timothy 3:1-4 states, lovers of pleasures as a sign of the last days. He used the Greek word “philodonos” meaning “lovers of pleasures” to emphasise that society will become engrossed and obsessed with the pursuit of their comfort, happiness and pleasure. We shall examine the dangers of sensual pleasures and remind ourselves of how to bring pleasure to God.
