TODAY’S LESSON

A. MEMORY VERSE: “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” John 14:30.

B. BIBLE TEXT: ACTS 10:34-40

34. Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

35. But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

36. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

37. That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

38. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

39. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

40. Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly.

C. LESSON INTRODUCTION: God created man to remain rising with no falling at all. However, when sin came into man’s life, man began to speak the language of falling. God needed to put back His original plan on motion – rising beyond falling. To restore this, Jesus came and showed us how to perfectly eschew falling out of our life. And constantly live a life without falling.

LESSON OUTLINE:

WHAT BRINGS FALLING?

1. Disobedience to God’s words Ephesians 5:6

2. Pride “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverb 16:18

3. Dishonouring God. Proverb 3:9, Malachi 1:6

4. Not redeeming your vow. Numbers 30:2

5. Confession of sin without forsaking it. Proverb 22:13

HOW CAN SOMEONE RISE WITHOUT FALLING?

1. Accept the one that never falls- Jesus. John 1:12

2. Constant holy living. 1 Peter 1:15-16.

3. Stay committed to God’s ways in prayer. Isaiah 55:8

4. Read and study the Word of God. 2 Timothy 2:15

5. Be an addicted God’s worshipper. John 4:23-24

ACTIVITY: Class should mention other causes of falling.

SUMMARY: A man will always fall until he intentionally decides to obey God in everything.

CONCLUSION: NOAH, ABRAHAM, MOSES, DAVID and others rose and failed sometimes in their walk with God. Jesus Christ is the perfect example to imitate, “While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.” Matthew 17:5
