RCCG JUNIOR ZEAL FOR 2022/2023 AGE 9-12 TEACHER’S MANUAL SUNDAY 6TH OF AUGUST, 2023; SANCTIFICATION

[20]But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

[21]If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

MEMORY VERSE: John 17:17, “sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth”

LESSON AIN: To let the children know the meaning of sanctification

CENTRAL TRUTH: You must be sanctified

INTRODUCTION: it is the will of God that believers should be a vessel unto honour in the hand of God. And if a man therefore purges himself from contamination of evil or sin, he shall be a vessel that is honourable and sanctified for Gods use. There are some that declare that we simply grow into the experience of entire sanctification.

They say, Just give me time. After a while I will be more like a saint. Just let me grow.” The truth of the matter is, there are many that were much better Christians shortly after their conversion then they are right now. Now there is a certain sense in which we do grow toward the experience of the fullness of the Holy Spirit – that is, there is often a process or series of minor crisis that leads to the final level of the infilling of the Spirit. We must discover that we are not just sinners, but sin itself, and that in us “dwelleth no good thing.
