            SUMMARY OF LESSON 1-12

LESSON: ONE

TOPIC: THE OMNIFICENT GOD

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 

BIBLE PASSAGE: Colossians 1:16-17

INTRODUCTION

The word “omnificence” is defined as the ability to create all things. Omnificence rightly describes God’s 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 affirmed as the Creator of all things. Although God is the Creator of all, He has also given man a measure of His creative ability.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. NATURE OF GOD'S OMNIFICENCE

2. NATURE OF MAN LIKE GOD

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). God’s omnificence goes hand-in-hand with His omnipotence (all-powerful) and His omniscience (all-knowing). God was able to create without limitation (omnificence) 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 omnificent 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 omnificence. 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).

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 He 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).

CONCLUSION

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).

LESSON: TWO

TOPIC: THE HYPOSTATIC UNION

MEMORY VERSE: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth". – John 1:14 

BIBLE PASSAGE: HEBREWS 4:14–16

INTRODUCTION

The concept of hypostatic union states that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. He is simultaneously perfectly divine and perfectly human, having two complete and distinct natures at once. Jesus had always been God (John 8:58, 10:30), but at the incarnation, Jesus became a human being (John 1:14).

LESSON OUTLINES

1. HIS DIVINE NATURE

2. HIS HUMAN NATURE

HIS DIVINE NATURE

A. The scripture is clear that Jesus is God (John 20:28; Titus 2:13). 

1. Jesus claimed the divine name “I am” (John 8:58) and did things that only God can do (Mark 2:3–7). 

2. He operated in the power of His divinity (John 11:43–44; Matthew 14:18–21). 

3. He claimed divine authority (Matthew 28:18). 

4. Jesus is God’s Son in that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). Nonetheless, this does not mean that Jesus did not exist before He was conceived. Jesus has always existed (John 8:58).

B. An affirmation of the divinity of Jesus is required to be saved (Romans 10:9).

1. The apostle John provided a sober warning that those who deny Christ’s true humanity are promoting the doctrine of antichrist (2 John 1:7). 

2. The statement “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30) confirms the divine nature of Jesus Christ, which includes omnipotence (Hebrews 1:1–4), omniscience (John 2:25), and perfection (2 Corinthians 5:21).

HIS HUMAN NATURE

A. The humanity of Jesus is as important as His deity. Jesus was born as a human being while still being divine. 

1. While the Godhead has existed and reigned from all eternity (Romans 1:20), the second Person of the Trinity, the Son, took on human flesh at a particular point in tim (Luke 1:35; 1 Timothy 3:16).

2. When Jesus was conceived, He became a human being in addition to being God (John 1:1, 14).

3. Jesus became a human being to identify with us in our struggles (Hebrews 2:17–18) 

4. More importantly, so that He could die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (Galatians 3:13).

B. Though He is fully God, Jesus (being fully human) experienced the full range of human existence: weaknesses, physical limitations, emotions, and temptations. For instance:

1. Jesus became hungry (Matthew 21:18), fatigued (John 4:6).

2. He was sorrowful at some point (Mark 14:34).

3. He also socialised (John 2:1–5).

4. He showed compassion to those in need (Matthew 9:36). 

5. He experienced the pain of betrayal (Luke 22:21, 47–48). 

C. The humanity of Jesus enabled Him to be “tempted in every way, just as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Hence:

1. He suffered for us (1 Peter 4:1).

2. He was made poor (2 Corinthians 8:9); 

3. He was despised (Isaiah 53:3); 

4. He suffered physical pain and endured the sorrows of a lingering and cruel death (Hebrews 12:2).

CONCLUSION

The evidences about the dual nature of Jesus Christ abound as biblical truths that cannot be denied.

LESSON: THREE

TOPIC: THE SPIRIT OF GOD

MEMORY VERSE: "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters". – Genesis 1:2

BIBLE PASSAGE: EXODUS 31:1-5

INTRODUCTION

God is a Spirit (John 4:24) and He operates through His Spirit (Genesis 1:2). The Spirit of God is linked with creation (Psalm 104:30). At the baptism of Jesus, the Spirit of God descended as a dove upon Him (Matthew 3:16). He is active in the work of redemption, restoration and deliverance of God’s people (Isaiah 32:14-17). This lesson shall examine how the Spirit empowers and His divine nature.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. BIBLICAL INSTANCES OF HIS EMPOWERMENT

2. HIS DIVINE NATURE

BIBLICAL INSTANCES OF HIS EMPOWERMENT

A. The Spirit of God is not only known for His creative ability, He is also an empowering Spirit (Joel 2:28-29). 

B. He is called different names in the Holy Scriptures such as 

i. The Holy Spirit/Ghost (Acts 1:8).

ii. Spirit of holiness (Romans 1:4).

iii. The Anointing (1 John 2:27). 

C. There are several instances in the Bible where certain individuals were empowered by the Spirit of God. These include:

i. Joseph: He was empowered with creative leadership and problem-solving skills as well as the gift of administration (Genesis 41:37-41).

ii. Bezaleel: The Spirit of God equipped him with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and all manner of skills (Exodus 31:3-5).

iii. Ezekiel: He was moved by the Spirit of God to see the invisible (Ezekiel 11:24; 37:1; 43:5).

iv. Peter: On receiving the baptism of the Spirit of God, He preached a single message and 3,000 souls were saved and added to the Church (Acts 2:41).

v. Paul: He preached the gospel with mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God (Romans 15:19).

vi. Philip: He was supernaturally transported to Azotus by the Spirit of the Lord after he ministered to the Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:39-40).

D. The Spirit of God also helped:

i. Othniel to prevail against the Mesopotamian king, Cushan-Rishathaim (Judges 3:10);

ii. Gideon to defeat the Midianites with 300 men (Judges 7:7).

iii. Jephthah to overthrow the Ammonites (Judges 11:29, 32).

iv. Samson to deal with the Philistines (Judges 15:14-15).

HIS DIVINE NATURE

A. There are certain attributes accorded the Spirit of God. These include:

i. Creativity – The creative ability of God is released to people through His Spirit (Exodus 35:30-35).

ii. Inspiration – The Spirit stirs and gives people understanding (Job 32:8; Daniel 4:8-9).

iii. Authority – He is in total control of all situations (Ezekiel 37:14) and acts as a defence for the elect (Isaiah 59:19).

iv. Omniscience – He is all-knowing and possesses all secrets (Psalm 139:7).

v. Omnipotence – He is all-powerful and can facilitate what human power could not (Zechariah 4:6).

B. The Spirit of God possesses emotion and can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30). It is, however, dangerous to be a victim of His anger (Isaiah 63:10).

CONCLUSION

There is no limit to what the Spirit of God can do. Allow Him to take full control of your life.

*_LESSON: FOUR_*

_TOPIC: GOD’S TEMPLE_ 

MEMORY VERSE: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?". – 1 Corinthians 3:16

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 6:16-20

INTRODUCTION

In the Old Testament, the temple of God was a physical structure in Jerusalem, a sacred place where God’s presence dwelled. The Greek word for "temple" is naos, meaning the dwelling place of God. In the New Testament, however, the temple is no longer a building but the physical body of every believer. When we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ, our body becomes His temple, and our heart becomes His throne (1 Corinthians 3:16).

LESSON OUTLINES

1. THE BELIEVER’S BODY

2. REASONS BELIEVERS ARE GOD’S TEMPLE

THE BELIEVER’S BODY

A. The apostle Paul profoundly describes the Church as the body of Christ and a sacred temple where God dwells among His people. 

1. He calls the Church “a holy temple in the Lord,” emphasizing its unity as a spiritual family and dwelling place for God’s presence (Ephesians 2:19-22).

2. As believers, we are not just part of this collective temple but are individual temples of the Holy Spirit. Paul reminds us, “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?” (1 Corinthians 6:19).

3. He warns that defiling God’s temple invites His judgment (1 Corinthians 3:17).

B. i. We become God’s temple through spiritual rebirth, as His Spirit comes to dwell within us (John 3:3-7; 2 Corinthians 6:16).

ii. This transformation makes us new creations in Christ, called to glorify God both in body and spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

C. It is a dangerous deception to believe that God only cares about our hearts while our bodies are inconsequential. 

i. Such thinking leads to practices that dishonour the temple God has made sacred. 

ii. Our lives: body, soul, and spirit, must reflect His holiness (1 Thessalonians 5:23), as His presence within us calls for reverence and obedience.

REASONS BELIEVERS ARE GOD’S TEMPLE

Here are some reasons believers are God’s temple:

1. God’s Spirit dwells in believers thus, making their bodies a sacred dwelling place (1 Corinthians 3:16).

2. Believers are temples of the Holy Spirit, purchased by Christ’s sacrifice (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

3. God lives among His people, making them His temple and dwelling (2 Corinthians 6:16).

4. Like living stones, believers are built into a spiritual house where God’s Spirit resides (Ephesians 2:22).

5. As God’s temple, believers serve as a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:5).

6. Being God’s temple calls believers to live holy lives, reflecting God’s holiness (1 Corinthians 3:17).

7. As God’s dwelling place, believers are transformed into His likeness, with His glory revealed through them (2 Corinthians 3:18).

These points emphasise the profound identity and responsibility of believers as God’s temple, showcasing the sacred connection between God and His people.

CONCLUSION

Being the temple of God is not merely a symbolic idea; it is a profound reality that demands we live in purity, honour, and submission, offering ourselves as vessels for His glory.

*_LESSON: FIVE_*

_TOPIC: MY ENEMY: SATAN_

MEMORY VERSE: "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants 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

BIBLE PASSAGE: Isaiah 14:12–17

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.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. Satan’s Strategy

2. How to Resist

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 as many people as possible with him (Revelation 20:7–10; 2 Peter 2:4). He does this by using:

1. Lies: Satan 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).

.

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).

CONCLUSION

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

LESSON: SIX

TOPIC: VAIN WORSHIP

MEMORY VERSE:

"Wherefore the Lord said, forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men."

— Isaiah 29:13

BIBLE PASSAGE: MATTHEW 15:7-9

INTRODUCTION

The word “vain” means empty or without value. “Worship” is reverence and adoration directed towards God, be it the lifting of hands, spoken words, or sung songs. Worship should not be a mere ritual, but an expression of love, and submission to God even in the time of adversity (*Job 1:20–21*). Unlike common beliefs, it neither begins nor ends with the singing quota of our Christian gatherings. Vain worship is unacceptable before God and it is an attitude abhorred by Him. This lesson uncovers vain worship and highlights the biblical direction for true worship.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. POINTERS AND CONCERNS

2. A CALL TO TRUE WORSHIP

POINTERS AND CONCERNS

A.Certain human manifestations point to vain worship:  

1. Vain worshippers place importance on being seen outwardly by all as reverencing God (Luke 18:10–12). 

2. It is only about superficial worship such as honouring God with lips or maintaining a ‘holier-than-thou’ appearance with neither connection of the heart nor inner transformation (Isaiah 29:13; Matthew 23:27–28).  

3. It is saying the right things but not truly engaging with God (Matthew 15:8).  

4. It is being legalistic i.e., following human traditions and prioritising rituals and man-made commandments to take precedence over true devotion to God (Mark 7:6–9).

B. One concern for those who promote vain worship is that they cannot continue in deception forever (Galatians 6:7–8). This is because:  

1. God rejects worship that does not come from the heart (Amos 5:21–23, Matthew 7:21–23).  

2. Focusing on traditions rather than personal faith weakens the relationship with God (Galatians 1:14).  

3. Vain worshippers are also, often led into misguided religion, in which they risk replacing godliness with human practices (Colossians 2:8).

A CALL TO TRUE WORSHIP

A. God has called us to authentic worship which begins with true repentance and renewal of mind
