RCCG YAYA Sunday School Teacher Manual 23 July 2023 Lesson 47 — Beware Of Deceit

TOPIC: Beware Of Deceit (RCCG Sunday School Manual For Young Adults And Youths (YAYA)

OPENING PRAYER: Father, please rescue me from deceivers. (Scroll down for RCCG YAYA Sunday School 23 July 2023 HYMN)

MEMORY VERSE: “Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:” – 1 Peter 2:22 (KJV)

BIBLE PASSAGE: Acts 13:6-10 (KJV)‬

6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:

7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.

10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

INTRODUCTION: The word deceit is a Greek word ‘Dolos’ derived from ‘Dello’ meaning to bait; this literally refers to a fishhook, trap, or trick which are various forms of deception. Deceit is a deliberate attempt to mislead, trick, snare, or bait other people, by telling lies. Baiting the trap is an attempt to catch the unwary victim. It is a desire to gain an advantage or preserve a position by deceiving others; the intentional misleading or beguiling of another. In the Scriptures, it is categorised with other forms of wickedness, such as cursing (Psalm 10:7), hatred (Proverbs 26:24), theft, covetousness, adultery, and murder (Mark 7:21-22; Romans 1:29).

1. ATTRIBUTES OF DECEIVERS

Teacher should emphasise as follows:

A. Description: Deceit describes the quality of the man who has a tortuous and a twisted mind; one who cannot act in a straightforward way; someone who stoops to devious and underhand methods to get his own way; a person who never does anything except with some kind of ulterior motives. Deceit is an attempt to trap or to trick and thus involves treachery. Deceit is a lie (Ps.119:118).

B. The Bible clearly states that:

  1. Some workers are deceitful (2Cor.11:13; Jer.14:14; 23:26).
  2. Hypocrites and false witnesses devise deceit (Job 15:34-35; Prov.12:17).
  3. The wicked are full of deceit (Rom.1:29). They devise it (Ps.35:20; Prov.12:5); utter it (Ps.10:7; 36:3); work it (Prov.11:18); increase in it (2Tim.3:13); use it to each other (Jer. 9:5); delight in it (Prov. 20:17).
  4. Deceit is a characteristic of the antichrist (2Jn.7).

2. BELIEVERS’ DISPOSITION TO DECEIT

A. It is necessary to note the following as the sources of deceit:

Deceit comes from the heart (Mk.7:21-22). It is one of the characteristics of an unregenerated heart (Jer.17:9). Deceit leads to lying (Prov.14:25); often accompanied by fraud and injustice (Ps.10:7; 43:1). Hatred is often concealed by deceit (Prov.26:24-26).

B. What should be our disposition to deceit and deceitful people?

Teacher should allow the class to respond to the above question, thereafter provide the answer below:

Answer: Note that;

i. God abhors deceit (Ps.5:6).

ii. Our Lord Jesus Christ was also free from deceit (Isa. 53:9; 1Pet.2:22).

iii. Believers must equally abhor it to enjoy abundant life in Christ (1Pet.3:10; Ps.24:3-4).

iv. We must intentionally go against deceit and avoid it (Job 27:4; 31:5).

v. We should pray for deliverance from those who are deceptive (Ps.43:1; 120:2; Ps.72:14).

vi. Beware of those who teach it (Eph.5:6; Col.2:8).

vii. Lay aside every appearance of deceit (2Col 4:2; 1Thess.2:3).
