RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 24 April 2022 Lesson 34

OPENING PRAYER: Father, please bless Your children with divine courage to be involved in governance at all levels.

BIBLE PASSAGE: Romans 13:1-6

MEMORY VERSE: “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:10.

INTRODUCTION: The opinion held by some Christians that if they were going to follow Christ, they must be quiet and withdrawn from things happening on the earth, negates the will of God as spelt out in the Scripture. As a matter of fact, Christ has called believers unto a life of influence, control and dominion (Ps.8:6). They are to take charge (Matt. 5:15-16) and the issue of governance is no exception. As the light of the world, they are to dispel the darkness of unrighteousness, sycophancy, etc. which are the order of the day, in present day governance systems of the world.

TEXT REVIEW: Romans 13:1-6.
Teacher should identify five reasons while Christians should be subject to authority according to the passage.

ii. ————————————————————

NOTE: Teacher should apply the points so identified to the lesson as appropriate.
