RCCG Sunday School Teens Teachers Manual 3 April 2022 INTRODUCTION:
Our spiritual parents are the people God has place over our lives to guide us in our Christian journey. This can be our pastor or our Sunday school teacher. A Spiritual parent must be born again and filled with the Holy Spirit.
Elijah was a spiritual parent to Elisha, and we can see how he thought Elisha a lot about God. Elisha too was patient and ready to learn. At the end he got a double portion of Elijah’s anointing. What a blessing.

How to Access Spiritual Blessings from our Spiritual Parents:

RCCG Sunday School Teens Teachers Manual 3 April 2022 CONCLUSION:
God is higher than our biological fathers, and our spiritual fathers are God’s representatives in our lives. Therefore, spiritual fathers have a measure of authority over us, for example, they can pray and cancel any curse placed upon us by our biological parent. Who are your spiritual parents?
