RCCG SOD Year One. Know Yourself. Part One.

Introduction

The important thing for the disciple is that you do whatever you are asked to do.

There will be times to sing. Sometimes you may be asked to look at your hands and say something.

Whatever you are asked to do, do it immediately, and God will bless you richly in Jesus’ name.

Goals of The School of Disciples

Ultimate Goal

To make disciples of the whole world.

Intermediate Goal

To make the whole of your country members of SOD.

Immediate Goal

To make you become a well-trained disciple of Jesus Christ.

It is our prayer that by the time you have been in the SOD even for one year, you will know how to follow Jesus correctly

You will know who your enemy is, you will know the weapons of your warfare, and then you will know how to deal with the enemy effectively.

Know Yourself Part 1

The first thing you need to know about yourself is that you are important. You are a very important person.

I know you will say, Who? Me? Nobody knows me.

The President does not even know I exist.

We are not talking about you being important to the President.

We are talking about you being important to God.

And if you are important to the One who will be there when all Presidents are gone, then surely you are an important person.

Say aloud:

I AM VERY IMPORTANT TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD

You are important to God because, without you, the work of God will slow down. If the work of God slows down, there will be some problems.

For example, if you backslide today, you will delay the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This is how important you are.

I will give you 10 reasons why you are important to God.

Let us look at Psalm 8. (Read).

#1 God is mindful of you. (Verse 4).

Others may not be mindful of you.

You might be known in your city or not, but God is mindful of you.

Say aloud with joy:

GOD IS MINDFUL OF ……………… (NAME)……………………….

#2 God visits you v4.

God visits ….(name)….regularly. I must be important to God for Him to visit me. If the President visits you, everybody in your street will know you are important.

You will feel important yourself.

How often does God visit you?

#3 God visits you every morning, Job 7:18

God comes every morning to wake you up.

Any morning that God does not visit you, you are dead.

The first thing that a disciple does when he wakes up is to say, “Good Morning Lord”.

He has just woken you up and He is waiting for an acknowledgement to know that He is near.

When you wake up as a disciple, you should say, “Good morning, Lord.

I welcome you into my life. Come and have preeminence in all that I shall do today”.

Acknowledge Him. Acknowledge His Presence.

Show your gratitude to Him for waking you up every morning.

#4 God magnifies you. Job 7:17a

The Almighty God magnifies you. You are not as bad as you think you are?

If God were to write a testimony about you, you would not even believe what He would say. God magnifies you even in the presence of Satan.

Look at the testimony of God concerning Job, Job 1:7-8 (Read).

God said Job is a perfect man, wonderful, and nobody likes him.

Compare with Job 30:1.

Here, Job is an arrogant man, and yet God says He wants to magnify His servant. If God can magnify Job, somebody as proud as this, you can be sure that if He writes your testimony, you would not believe what He would write.

I am sure if He is going to write about you, He is going to tell the devil, “Have you seen……………………(Name)……………..a wonderful Man, the perfect man of God, He fears the Lord, he hates evil.

There is no one like him in the whole world”.

This is how God magnifies you.

#5 God sets his heart on you. Job 7:17

“What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? And that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

As unreliable as you think you are, God is still putting His trust in you.

He believes that you are not going to let Him down, and I believe you are not going to let Him down either.

Say aloud:

I WILL NOT FAIL GOD

He believes that you are the one who will make disciples of the whole world. He believes you are going to be a vessel unto honour, and that is exactly how it is going to be in Jesus’ name.

#6 God has crowned you with Glory, Ps 8:5

“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour”

You are a glorious person.

The glory of the Almighty God is upon you, particularly once you become born again.

Since you gave your life to Jesus Christ, he has crowned you with glory.

#7 God has crowned you with His Honour. Ps. 8:5.

“For thou hast made Him a little lower than the angels, and hath crowned him with glory and honour”.

#8 God gave you dominion. Ps. 8:6-8:

“Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou has put all things under his feet; All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the path of the seas”.

Everything God made is under your feet. Animals, birds, fishes, etc. are under your control.

9. God recognises your importance Ps. 144:3.

“Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of Him! Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!”

#10 God take account of you Ps. 144:3

You count on God. You are a very important person to God.

GOD NEEDS YOU!

Because you count on God, He needs you. God needs you. You just wake up and realise that you are a nobody. For example

#1 God needs your hands. Mark 16:18

” They shall take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly it shall not hurt them l; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. ”

Your hands are important hands to carry the healing power of God to those who are sick. Your hands are powerful.

They are not useless hands. Stretch your hands out before you and look at those two hands and say aloud:

“HANDS, MY HANDS, YOU ARE NOT USELESS HANDS. YOU ARE POWERFUL HANDS THAT WOULD BRING HEALING TO THIS GENERATION”.

And it shall be so in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

#2 ” God needs your voice”. Mark 16: 15,17.

– To preach the gospel.

– To command demons to come out.

– to speak with new tongues.

You will be hearing more about casting our demons. This is part of what you have come to the School of Disciples to learn.

You will also learn more about speaking in tongues and how we circumvent and dodge the enemy when we want to talk to our Father.

I want you to speak to your voice and say aloud:

” VOICE, FROM NOW ON, YOU WILL NO LONGER SAY ANYTHING USELESS. YOU WILL PREACH THE GOSPEL. YOU WILL CAST OUT DEMONS. YOU WILL SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES. YOU WILL PRAISE GOD. MY VOICE, GOD NEEDS YOU. YOU ARE NO LONGER USELESS.

It shall be so in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

#4. God needs your brain

You may wonder at this and ask; My brain? maybe that can be true of lawyers, learned gentlemen or professors. My brain? Foolish brain?

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 1:27.

” But God hath chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty“.

God needs your brain to confound the world. I want you to tap your head and say aloud:

“BRAIN, MY BRAIN, YOU ARE NO LONGER USELESS. GOD NEEDS YOU TO CONFOUND THE WISE”.

And it shall be so in Jesus’ name. Amen.

#5 God needs your time. 2 Timothy 4:2.

God wants you to spend time with Him.

He wants you to do His will during your time.

He does not want you to say “I am killing time”. He does not want you to waste your time anymore.

At every time for the rest of your life, God wants you to be busy for him.

In 2 Timothy 4:2, the Bible says:

“Preach the Word, be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.”

God says when it is convenient for you. He needs your time. When it is not convenient for you. He needs your time. He wants you to use your time for him.

#6 God needs your money- 1 Cor. 16:1-3.

“Oh, oh, my money? I am not too sure I like that.” Even in the first-century Church, God made arrangements that every Sunday, His disciples must make some collections, to put some money aside for the work of the Gospel.

I can assure you that the money you spend for God, Satan cannot spend. And I can tell you, Satan will never spend my money anymore. But that is up to you.

#7. God needs your total love- Deut. 6:4-5.

He wants you to love Him, with all your heart, with all

your mind, with all your strength,

You belong to the Almighty God.

You are important to Him.

He needs you.

I want you to bow your head right now and talk to the Lord and say:

“FATHER., I THANK YOU THAT I AM IMPORTANT TO YOU. I AM HAPPY THAT YOU NEED ME. PLEASE HELP ME SO THAT I WILL NOT FAIL YOU”.
