TOPIC: THE PRECIOUS RELATIONSHIP
MEMORY VERSE - ""Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverences her husband." Ephesians 5: 33
LESSON TEXT -Ephesians 5: 22-23
LESSON INTRODUCTION - Discussions on Christian living will be incomplete without a thorough discussion on family life. This is an institution that the Lord Jesus Christ likened to the relationship between Him and His Church. May the Holy Spirit teach and bless us the more, in Jesus' name
LESSON OUTLINE
A. THE WIFE IN TRUE SUBMISSION
B. THE LOVING HUSBAND
C. THE KING'S CHILDREN
LESSON A. THE WIFE IN TRUE SUBMISSION
The true Christian wife must recognize and joyfully accept the God-ordained headship of the husband and be submissive, 1 Pet. 3: 1; Col. 3: 18; 1 Tim. 2: 11-14. The scope of the submission should be as unto the Lord Jesus in everything. Other qualities of the wife include:
Obedience, 1 Pet. 3:1
Reverence, Eph. 5: 33; 1 Pet. 3: 5
Humility in outward appearance, 1 Pet. 3: 4; 1 Tim. 2: 9.
The true Christian wife should adorn herself with meekness, quiet and prayerful spirit only, which will make greater impact in the home, church and the nation, 1 Pet. 3: 4; Tit. 2: 5.
Purity and holiness, Titus 2: 4-5; 1 Pet. 3: 5,
Loveliness, Tit. 2: 4; Songs 1: 6-7
Mother's heart, Ps. 128: 3; 1 Sam. 2: 19; Prov. 6: 20-25
Diligence and dependability, Ps. 144: 11-12; Prov. 12: 14; 31: 30-31;
Hospitality, Ps. 31: 20; 2 Kgs. 4: 8-10 and prayerfulness, Mt. 15: 22-28; Acts 1: 14).
LESSON B. THE LOVING HUSBAND
The husband, by Godly plan, is the head of the wife, Eph. 5: 23; 1 Cor. 11: 3.
It has nothing to do with education, talent or wealth.
The husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the Church, Rom. 5: 6-10.
He must love in sickness, pain, sorrow, or weakness.
His love must be sacrificial, Eph. 5: 25; Phil. 2: 5-8.
The love must not be because of what the man can get from the woman but be God-ordained.
The head stays with the body until death, Eph. 5: 28-29, 31.
Where the home is blessed with children, the husband is to train them and not to provoke them to wrath, Col. 3: 21.
LESSON C. THE KING'S CHILDREN
In the family also are children who must be trained and nurtured in the fear of God Prov. 22: 6.
They are God's heritage and blessed is the family where they are found, Ps. 127: 3-7; Ps. 128: 1-6.
They are the crown of old age and the glory of their fathers, Prov. 17: 6.
Of them also is the kingdom of Heaven - Mt. 19: 14. God commands them to obey their parents in the Lord, Eph. 6: 1; Col. 3: 20.
CONCLUSION
The family life is a precious relationship ordained by God. How is yours? You can prayerfully answer the question today as you turn to the perfect architect and master.

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
see his banner go!Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!2 At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise! [Refrain]3 Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
one in charity. [Refrain]4 Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
in the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor,
unto Christ the King;
This thro' countless ages
men and angels sing. [Refrain] -

TOPIC - THE REJECTED VESSEL (Part 3)
TEXT: 1 Samuel 15
INTRO: In the last part of this series, we learnt that no one could be wiser than God and that partial obedience is dangerous. Today, as we continue in our studies, may the Lord Himself speak to us and bless us richly in Jesus Name.
1. THE VAIN SACRIFICE
The sacrifice truly offered unto God is a blessing but when offered in disobedience and unrighteousness, it becomes vain and unacceptable before God.
I Sam. 15:18-22, Isa. 1:11-13, Jer. 7:22-23, Hos. 6:6, Mic. 6:7-8, Eccl. 5:1, Mk. 12:33, Heb. 10:6-9, Ps. 51:16-17.
2. REBELLION IS A TERRIBLE SIN
To rebel simply means to refuse to obey or resist authority or control. The sin of rebellion is so terrible that it was likened to witchcraft in the Bible. God hates a rebel.
I Sam. 15:23, Jn. 6:38, 8:47, I Sam. 12:14-15, Ps. 5:10-11, Prov. 17:11, Isa. 30:1, Ez. 20:38, Mic. 5:12, Ps. 78:8-11, Dan. 9:5-6, I Sam. 13:14, Ex. 22:18, Isa. 1:19-20.
