SUNDAY SCHOOL

LESSON: 41

TOPIC: “YESTERDAY”

MEMORY VERSE: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” – PHILIPPIANS 3:13

BIBLE READING: NUMBERS 11:4-7

INTRODUCTION: After the children of Israel left Egypt, it is unfortunate that “Egypt” did not leave them. Despite the miracles of deliverance and divine provisions, they still longed for cucumbers and garlic they ate as slaves because “yesterday” was vivid in their memories. The same thing applies to some of us who refuse to let go of our past! In this lesson we shall learn how to overcome the urge to cling to the past, embrace today, and look on the bright side of tomorrow?

OUTLINES

1. PAST IS PAST

2. THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT

PAST IS PAST

Below are some of the ways to deal with past events or occurrences:

1. Be intentional to let go of the ugly past because some bad memories always want to fill our thoughts (Philippians 4:8). Also, do not bask perpetually in the euphoria of the past.

2. Learn from the mistakes of the past to avoid repetition of the same (John 8:10-11).

3. Forgive yourself and others for whatever happened in the past (Genesis 50:15-21). Remove the “veil of offense” and never allow it to degenerate into an obstacle (Ephesians 4:31; Hebrews 12:15).

4. Accelerate your forward movement by thinking and taking the next step into a brighter tomorrow (2 Samuel 12:18-23).

5. Forget ‘yesterday’ because it is gone. Stop holding onto the past or referring to it incessantly as if you can bring back the hand of the clock (Philippians 3:13).

6. Free your mind because a negative past enslaves (Galatians 5:1; Genesis 33:1-3, 8).

7. Cry to God to take unwanted memory away. Remember that vengeance is of the Lord: leave the matter to Him (Romans 12:19).

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT

Believers must walk with assurance that tomorrow will be better (Job 14:7-9). Hope is a prerequisite needed to forget the past and look forward to the future (Job 11:18; 14:14; Romans 5:5). Having a focus will sustain a believer to keep moving (Philippians 3:13-14). Give yourself to the study of God’s word (Psalm 119:15-16) and know that He is your help (Psalm 45:1-5); this gives uncommon happiness and joy (Psalm 145:5). Carve the future by channeling all your energy to positive endeavors to fulfil your purpose in life (Judges 11:1-5). No matter what, win your future (Proverbs 22:8).

CONCLUSION: Remembering the irreparable past generates sorrow, but focusing on a better future brings excitement.

QUESTIONS

1. Mention two ways believers can deal with past occurrences.

2. How should believers handle the future?

Each time I do a job I will make you aware of the other things I see. I was called to clean the eaves and redo the end caps on the gutter. Besides that someone had shoemakered an attachment from the eaves to the downspout (there is an actual piece for that you don't have to make your own). They also didn't attach the flashing properly or seal it and some of the windows were rotting from exposure. At the very least a person needs to silicone the rotting parts to prolong the life of the window before it's to far gone.

Give praise!!! Ask for nothing? Not yet!

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY 2ND 2024

TOPIC: VERY EASY PRAYERS

MEMORISE:

By him therefore let us offer:the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that iis, the fruit of our lips giving t thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15

READ: Psalms 34:1-4

1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

MESSAGE

There are five categories of prayers: very easy prayers, easy prayers, hard prayers, dangerous prayers, and impossible' prayers. For the next few days, I will be teaching on each of them to help you have a more robust prayer life.

The first category of prayers is the very easy prayers. praise and worship. Praise and worship is very easy because you don't have to be a theologian to praise God; even little children can praise Him (Matthew 2 1:15-16).

David said that his soul would not forget all of God's benefits, and so he would bless the Lord (Psalm 103:2). As a songwriter said, if you count your blessings and name them one by one, it will be very easy to praise God. David said, "I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth."(Psalm 34:1). You can praise God non-stop because praising Him is very easy when you count your blessings. It is very easy to do, yet it is extremely powerful.

Unfortunately, many Christians don't praise God much. When we were about to open the first parish of The Redeemed Christian Church of God in Abuja, I was in my hotel room, praying concerning the programme that would hold that evening and asking God to perform miracles, heal the sick, and save souls. While praying, God said, "Shut up, am I your houseboy? Have you thanked Me for all I've done for you in the past?" I said, "Oh Lord, thank You for all You have done in the past. Tonight, please heal the sick.."

Again, He told me to shut up and that I should only praise Him and not ask for anything for the next three days. It was very difficult, but I did it anyway. By the end of the third day, He said, "Select elders who will be going around, teaching the doctrine of the church to strengthen its foundation because all you have seen thus far is addition; get ready for multiplication." The result of praising Him then can be clearly seen today as RCCG has indeed multiplied greatly.

Do you engage in this very easy prayer of praise and worship? How often do you praise God? Look around you, there are multitudes of things you can praise God for; praise Him continually for them. I know there are some things that you wish He has done, but what about all He has done already? If you find it difficult to praise God for what He has done, how do you expect Him to do more?

Don't be an ingrate; go ahead and praise God with all your might.

ACTION POINT

Spend the rest oof t today praising God Don't ask for anything just praise Him all daylong.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 5-6

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY

1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.

2. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen how thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee;
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.

4. Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging,
Who, when the elements madly around thee are raging,
Biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace,
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.

5. Praise to the Lord, who, when darkness of sin is abounding,
Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding,
Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night,
Saints with His mercy surrounding.

6. Praise to the Lord, oh, let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him;
Let the Amen sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him.

Many observations on being on this roof:
Construction debris left on the roof in a storm could easily damage vehicles or hurt people and make a person liable.

Tree branches overgrown onto the roof rubbing and wearing at the roof itself and gutter.

Screws that have backed out for what ever reason potentially leading to leaking or worse (getting ripped off in a storm).

Edging torn off: exposing the underroof and allowing a spot for wind to get between the two layers and potentially tear off the metal roof.

Screw missing from the air conditioning unit causing unnecessary and potentially damaging vibration in the unit.

Thank you to Sunny and his mom for the repeat work. This time they wanted the inside of the garage painted without mudding and tapping. Sunny's mom actually helped do all the paint cutting so that was a lot of help.
Before we painted I removed and replaced some old damaged garage door sealing strips and installed an outdoor light for the garage.

Sunny is another customer that has called me about 4 times already.

Thank you to Melanie for the work of pulling a few weeds, cleaning between patio stones, removing dead leaves, and removing a excess of stones and mud that were cluttering up the flower beds.
I also recommend using a sealer sand between the paving stones to prevent the weeds from growing in the grooves.

Thankyou to Norma for the repeat yard work. Digging out plants that are overcrowding other plants. Move a few, get rid of a few and remove a vine plant that has heavily overgrown a shared fence. Norma is great because she has called me twice in the last month or so and she referred another customer as well!
