OPENING PRAYER: Father, give me an understanding of a perfect Christian life. 

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: The teacher should review the previous week’s lesson.

 

MEMORY VERSE: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” – 3 John 2 (KJV)

 

 BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Thessalonians 5:21-23 (KJV)

21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

 

 

 

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Some Christians have grown with the idea that it is better to focus on spiritual life than anything else in this world since it is the soul that journeys to eternity.

 

This belief has made them concentrate more on spirituality at the expense of other functional aspects of their lives. However, the scripture makes it clear that we should live a balanced life (3 John 2).

 

In this lesson, we shall consider some of the areas believers need to create a balance and the attendant benefits.

 

 

LESSON AIM: To teach the church about a wholesome Christian life.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: Through the lesson, students should be able to:

  • Understand what a wholesome Christian life is.
  • Know its basics.
  • Understand its benefits.

TEACHING PLAN: To achieve the above-stated objectives, teachers should:

a. Allow the students to read  the Bible passage, recite the memory verse, participate in the class activities and do the assignment.

b. Allow the Assistant teacher to conduct the class, mark attendance and assignment, grade performance and close the class session with the closing prayer.

c. Lead the opening prayer, review the previous week’s lesson, teach the lesson outline, summarize, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments to the students.

1. THE FOUNDATION

Our faith in God should be demonstrated in the following ways, among others:

  1. Willingness to obey His word totally (Proverbs 3:5-7).
  2. Family and relationships are vital and should be cherished. Therefore, make good and godly friends (Proverbs 17:17).
  3. The people in our lives and relationships are important: they should be valued and esteemed appropriately (1 Timothy 5:8; Galatians 6:10; Proverbs 18:24a).
  4. Being a good steward over our finances takes a lot of discipline (Luke 16:10-12).
  5. Living beyond our means, amassing material possessions, and accumulating irresponsible debt is unwise (Proverbs 22:7).
  6. Keeping our bodies healthy by eating a balanced diet, regular exercises, and maintaining personal and environmental hygiene are part of the life God calls us to (1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Timothy 4:8a).
  7. It is important to aspire to reach the top in our careers and be the best in what we do (Proverbs 12:24).

  5. Adherence to healthy living enhances longevity and prosperity (Job 36:11; Proverbs 23:21).
  6. Fulfilment and greater influence come from reaching the peak in our chosen career; we will also be a blessing to many (Genesis 41:40-41; 45:5).
