TOPIC: The Game Changers (RCCG Sunday School Student Manual 21 December 2025)
MEMORY VERSE: “Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.” – Esther 4:16 (KJV)
BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 15:22–28 (KJV) (RCCG Sunday School Student Manual 21 December 2025)
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

INTRODUCTION: A game changer is a person or an idea that positively changes the way things are done. It is a “dynamics” newly introduced that transforms an existing situation/activity in a significant or complete way. Game changers work assiduously to launch a technique that brings a major shift from the old order. They change existing conditions by revitalising them and bringing out the best in them. In business, ministry, organisations, families, etc. game changers alter old strategies and conceive a new way of moving forward. We shall examine the qualities and results of game changers.
LESSON OUTLINE
- QUALITIES
- UPSHOTS
1. QUALITIES
Game changers are visionary and innovative persons who proffer solutions to problems or change the perception of people from negative to positive (Nehemiah 2:17-18; 4:17-18). They are dogged and never take “no” for an answer (Luke 18:3-5). These people are highly creative in their thoughts and actions because they are always driven by the desire for change and are never comfortable with the status quo (2 Chronicles 26:14-15). They are audacious as they take the bull by the horns (1 Samuel 17:36). Game changers are master strategists who employ tact in bringing about the required transformation where they are (1 Corinthians 9:19-22). They are great planners who work tirelessly to see that a good idea is implemented (Genesis 41:33-37, 47-49). They stand as worthy representatives (Daniel 1:8) of their organisations, ministries, families, etc. and ensure their noble policies see the light of the day. They change the trajectory to bring about a progressive change (Ruth 1:15-16).
2. UPSHOTS
Game changers through their unrelenting efforts achieve great results. They unravel knotty issues (Daniel 2:19). Wholesome developments that are beneficial to all are initiated and they project their family, ministry, organisation, etc. in a good light (Joshua 2:12-13). Irrespective of the odds, they are ready to move the organisation or people to the next phase (Numbers 13:30). Also, regardless of the problem, they ensure that they get to its root to accomplish the required goals (Nehemiah 2:3-5).
Moreover, game changers usually introduce a better way of going about a task or condition and with that, life becomes easier (Exodus 18:15-22). These people stand out from the crowd because they are always bent on bringing out the best anywhere they are (Daniel 5:11-12). A game changer breaks new ground by removing obstacles to progress (Genesis 26:18-22).
CONCLUSION: Be a game changer!

Monday: 1 Corinthians 9:19-22 (KJV)
19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.
Friday: Joshua 2:12-13 (KJV)
