LESSON OUTLINE ONE: OUR DEPENDABLE GOD
Our God is dependable, we can trust Him with all our heart (Prov.3:5) because He has promised, He will never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), God is faithful, reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise and He can be depended on.
REASONS WHY WE NEED TO DEPEND ON GOD
- He is our Shepherd. A good shepherd takes good care of the sheep – Ps. 23:1.
- He is our Very Present Help – Psalms 46:1.
- He is the Great Provider, Jehovah Jireh – Philippians 4:19.
LESSON OUTLINE TWO: DO YOU DEPEND ON HIM?
Depending on God is basic to the Christian life. In fact, we depend on God for everything – Psalms 104:27. We depend on God for;
a. Salvation-Ephesians 2:8,9.
b. Wisdom- James 1:5.
c. Direction – Psalms 32:8.
HERE ARE SOME PRACTICAL WAYS TO DEPEND ON GOD ALONE
a. Prayer: Prayer is an acknowledgement of God’s power. When you pray, you demonstrate dependence on God – Jeremiah 33:3.
b. The word: Joshua 1:8, the Word of God has information, instructions, examples and promises. Read from the Bible everyday and discover the power in His Word.
c. Abide in Christ: John 15:4, the Christian life is not a “now and then” endeavours with God. It is making God your dwelling place, living with Him, abiding and putting all your trust in Him.
ACTIVITY: Sing with faith the song, “Dependable, Reliable God X2. You will do as You say, You are worthy to be praised. Dependable, Reliable God.”
SUMMARY: There is none dependable and reliable as our God.
CONCLUSION: Our dependable God cares for His children even more than the grass He clothes with flowers and birds that He feeds daily. Learn to cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
