SUNDAY SCHOOL – MARCH 21, 2021 MAKE YOUR LIFE RELEVANT

MEMORY VERSE: “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the day are evil.” Eph. 5: 15-16

LESSON TEXT: Eph. 5: 15-20

INTRODUCTION

There is nothing God does without a purpose. He created the land before plants. He created the waters before fishers and other animals inside of them. 

A separation of plants from land or fishes from water often leads to death of plants or fishes. 

He created man for fellowship with Him and without Him, man can do nothing. John 15: 1-15. 

LESSON OUTLINES

A.  GOD KNOWS US ALL

B.  GOD OF PURPOSE

GOD KNOWS

The Almighty God is alive, Ex. 3: 7. His eyes and ears are working. He knows the location of everyone at any time. 

He spoke to Moses at the back the desert and called him by his name, Ex. 3: 1-3; 

He knew the home of Abraham and the problems in the place. In the case of Samuel, 

He called him by his name, 1 Sam. 3: 1-10. Hophni and Phinehas were around but the Lord called on Samuel. 

There are several other examples in the Bible; we can add to these.

GOD OF PURPOSE 

God has His reasons for allowing us to be at any place and at a particular time. 

He knew that evil would be determined against the Jews and He allowed Esther to become the Queen before the evil was conceived. 

Esther rose to the occasion. The slave (maid) in the home of Naaman made the difference, 2 Kings 5: 1-4, 14. 

The maid was nameless, but God knew her. She was a stranger and just a maid but made herself relevant. 

She witnessed for God, Jer. 1: 17. It is dangerous to witness against God by your actions and deeds. 

The maid made herself relevant in the affairs in this home. 

She only heard of Elisha as against Gehazi, a son of prophet who had nothing to show for it, 2 Kings 4: 29-41. 

Note that with or without the maid, God’s purpose will stand. God could have used another method for Naaman without the girl, Esther 4: 10-14

CONCLUSION

God has allowed each and every one of us to be in the places we are for His purpose. 

He wants us to vigorously win souls and bring more souls to Him. Remember that no one can hold God to ransom. 

God always has a David for every disobedient Saul. Who knows whether He has allowed us in the Kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4: 14
