BIBLE PASSAGE: Isaiah 14:12-17.

[12]“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!

[13]For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;

[14]I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’

[15]Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.

[16]“Those who see you will gaze at you, And consider you, saying: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,

[17]Who made the world as a wilderness And destroyed its cities, Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’

MEMORY VERSE: "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

Revelation 12:12.

INTRODUCTION: The "world" is a battleground and the Christian life is a warfare. As Christians, we have a terrible enemy-Satan; who wants to de-stroy 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 ene-mies of every child of God (Ephesians 6:11-12). We need to study the enemy's tactics to under-stand how to resist him.

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

OBJECTIVES: Through this study, students are expected to:

a. Recognize Satan as a real enemy.

b. Understand Satan's strategies.

c. Learn how to resist Satan and his agents.

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 discus-sion, and do class activities and assignments.

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 assignments.

LESSON OUTLINE

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 eter-nally condemned to the lake of fire, but he wants to take as many people as possible 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 coun-terfeit 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, im-pulses, selfishness and greed (Luke 4:13; 1Thes-salonians 3:5). He further accuses and con-demns us for failing (Revelation 12:10).

5. Contention. The Devil understands that dis-agreement is a potent weapon to subdue the lim-itless 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 man's life to through unconfessed sin (Psalm 107:17).

CLASS ACTIVITY: 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 escape route (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 im-mediately 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 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: 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.
