HYMN
YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION (GHS 6)

3. YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION [GHS 6]
Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;
Each vict’ry will help you some other to win;
Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.
Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

4. YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION [GHS 6]
2. Shun evil companions, bad language disdain,
God’s name hold in rev’rence, nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest, kindhearted and true;
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.
Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

5. YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION [GHS 6]]
3. To him that o’ercometh, God giveth a crown,
Through faith we will conquer, though often cast down;
He who is our Savior, our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.
Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

6. MICAH INTRODUCES IDOLATRY IN ISRAEL
SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES
LESSON 664:
MICAH INTRODUCES IDOLATRY IN ISRAEL

7. LESSON 664: MICAH INTRODUCES IDOLATRY IN ISRAEL
MEMORY VERSE:
“And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod , and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest ” (Judges 17:5).
TEXT: Judges 17:1-13

8. SUMMARY (1) The previous study focused on Divine healing and health:
Healing is an important part of God’s covenant for His people.
Obedience to God’s instruction brings divine health.
Believers need to trust God for perfect health from day to day.
Remember to meditate on God’s word. He is the Lord our healer!
The study of today touches on three points:
Corruption through evil influence.
A conscript’s error and illusion
Contemporary examples of idolatry

9. SUMMARY (2) Corruption through evil influence (Judges 17:1-6):
Christians should avoid any association with people of corrupting influence.
Today, we can withstand all the wiles of the enemy through the grace and power of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Leaders should carry out their duties with diligence while followers should be submissive and cooperative.
A conscript’s error and illusion (Judges 17:7-11):
We should not abandon our ministerial assignment in place of earthly benefits.
Appointment of leaders should be guided by scriptural principles.
Contemporary examples of idolatry (Judges 17:12,13):
Shun every form of idolatry, including inordinate pursuits, egotism and covetousness
Absence of direct divine response to sin is not a proof of God’s approval

10. DISCUSSION

11. QUESTION 1 What challenge can we receive from Micah’s defection?
Ezra 7:25
2 Timothy 2:2

12. QUESTION 2
What can we deduce from Micah’s reaction to his mother’s declaration?
Judges 17:2
Judges 17:3,4

13. QUESTION 3
What lessons can contemporary Christians learn from societal permissiveness of Micah’s time?
Judges 17:6
Hebrews 13:7

14. QUESTION 4 Why did Micah need the services of this wandering Levite?
Judges 17:7,13

15. QUESTION 5
Comment on what attracted the Levite to Micah?
Judges 17:10

16. QUESTION 6
What can we learn from God’s attitude to the incident in the study?
Psalm 50:16-22
Hosea 4:17
Acts 7:42

17. CONCLUSION All forms of idolatry violate God’s revealed will
Believers must avoid company with agents of anti-scriptural practice and be quick to rebuke them
Leaders in the church should perform their oversight functions with diligence, while followers should be submissive and cooperative
The failure of one person or group is not a justification for others to engage in sin and compromise
We must study the scriptures and obey it to avoid the error of Micah and the compromising Levite-priest
