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. 1.

4. 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]
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. 2.

6. Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

7. YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION [GHS 6]
To him that o’ercometh, God giveth a crown,
Through faith we will conquer,
Though often cast down;
He who is our Saviour, our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through. 3.

8. Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

10. RECAP OF OUR LAST STUDY
From our last study, entitled “Complete armour for spiritual warfare”, we learnt that we are faced with constant battle against forces of darkness. We should not be ignorant; rather, we should be strong in the Lord to stand against the wiles of Satan. To be victorious, we must put on God’s complete armour, guard against satanic deception, be watchful and prayerful and rely upon the grace and comfort of God. Ministers should care for the flock beyond preaching to them. They should not exalt the devil above God’s care.

11. TODAY’S STUDY: LESSON 739: WORLDLINESS AND WORLDLY AMUSEMENTS
MEMORY VERSE: …… “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” (1 John 2:15). TEXT: 1 John 2:15-17

12. INTRODUCTION
There is a dividing line between the Church (the invisible assembly of the redeemed souls) and the world (the pervasive evil system controlled by the devil). Worldliness, therefore, is conformity with the worldly system, their practices, dressing and adornment. It begins in the heart as a secret, inward liking; and later, as a craving for the fad, fancies and fashions of the world. It finally shows forth in the lifestyle of its victims.
QUESTION 1: What is worldliness and how does it begin? – I John 2:15.

13. EXPRESSIONS OF WORLDLINESS 1 John 2:15-17; Isaiah 3:16 -24
The Bible declares that the world is sensual, devilish, doomed and distorting. Expressions of worldliness can be seen in dressing and adornments, extravagant ceremonies, trendy fashions and competitive social outlook. The guiding principle of a Christian is modesty and moderation.
QUESTION 2: Mention some of the common expressions of worldliness – I John 2:15-17; Matthew 24:38; Isaiah 3:16-24
QUESTION 3: Why should a Christian avoid worldly gatherings? – 1 Corinthians 15:33; Hosea 7:8,9

14. RATIONALISATION OF WORLDLINESS Revelation 22:18,19; James 3:15
Some Christians want to enjoy all the privileges of the Kingdom while simultaneously feasting with the world. They twist the Scriptures to make allowance for their worldly dispositions. Some copy from worldly stars whiles others hide under the pretext “join them to win them”. Others indulge in persistent worldly dressing and adornment with the notion that salvation is in the their heart.
QUESTION 4: In what ways do people try to rationalise worldliness today? – Matthew 6:31,32; Luke 21:34; I Corinthians 9:20.

15. DANGERS OF WORLDLINESS AND WORLDLY AMUSEMENTS Luke 21:34; Titus 2:12
The Bible says worldliness is enmity with God. It leads to backsliding, loss of conviction and corruption. The presence and power of God would diminish or even disappear if worldliness is allowed in our local assembly. Worldly amusement brings carnal competitions, weakens the church and destroys its future. Worldliness, therefore, must be avoided like a plague!
QUESTION 5: What inherent dangers do worldliness pose to the individual and the church at large? – James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17.

16. CONCLUSION
Worldliness is copying the lives or styles of those who are not born again. It begins in the heart and finally shows up in our dressing, adornment, ceremonies, fashions and social outlook. If we would enjoy the privileges of the Kingdom, we cannot simultaneously feast with the world. We must flee from worldliness: it results in enmity with God, backsliding, loss of the presence and power of God!

HYMN
SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER (GHS 170)

27. SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER (GHS 170)
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known;
In season of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer 1.

28. SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER (GHS 170)
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless;
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer. 2.

29. SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER (GHS 170)
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home, and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing through the air,
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer. 3.
