MEMORY VERSE:
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, ac-cording to their works." Revelation 20:12.

BIBLE PASSAGE:
Revelation 20:11-15.
[11]And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
[12]And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
[13]And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
[14]And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
[15]And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

INTRODUCTION:
The Scripture establishes two kinds of eternity: eternal life and eternal damna-tion (Revelation 20:6). It also establishes that there are "Books" and there is the "Book" which is the book of life (Revelation 20:12). This book of life is different from "the book of the living" men-tioned in Psalm 69:28 which is earthly; a physical life, and not eternal life. This book of life accord-ing to the Bible is the same as the Lamb's book of life (Revelation 21:27). God is the greatest recorder and rewarder. He knows those who are His and has their records. He also has the records of those who do not belong to Him (2 Timothy 2:19).

LESSON OUTLINE
1: THE "BOOKS" VERSUS THE BOOK OF LIFE
2: WHO WILL NOT BE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE?

OUTLINE 1: THE "BOOKS" VERSUS THE BOOK OF LIFE
The book of life is described in Revelation 3:5 as the book containing the set of names of those who will live with God forever. At the great whito throne judgement, sinners will be judged acco ing to their deeds in "the books." Anyone who goes for this judgement does not have his name in the book of life and such is doomed for eternal damnation (Revelation 20:11-15).
The book of life contains the names of those who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus (Revelation 5:9; 21:27). Saints, who have laboured faithfully, have the assurance of being registered in the book of life (Philippians 4:3). There is a proportionate reward for the works of the Saints (1 Corinthians 3:13-15).
Our greatest joy should be that our names are in the book of life. To have your name written in the book of life, you must be born again. Any "be-liever" that sins or falls away from the faith apostasy (Hebrews 6:4-6) and refuses to repent, will have his name blotted out of the book of life (Revelation 3:1-5). Heaven must be our priority in all we do (Luke 10:20).

OUTLINE 2: WHO WILL NOT BE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE?
The Bible says that anyone who refuses to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour is already condemned (John 3:18; 5:24). People who indulge in the works of the flesh will not be found in the book of life (Galatians 5:20-21). The abominable, unbe-lieving, liars, sorcerers, idolaters, etc. will not have their names in the book of life (Revelation 21:8, 27). The apostle Paul in 1Corinthians 6:9-10 further states the categories of people whose names would not be in the book of life.

CONCLUSION:
Being born again is indeed the prequisite for eternal life but we must work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

QUESTIONS
1. Differentiate between "the books" and the book of life.
2. Mention four categories of people that will not be found in the book of life.

FURTHER READINGS:
SUN: Romans 1:29-32.

OPENING PRAYER:
Father, help me to understand the importance of the Book of life in Jesus' name

MEMORY VERSE:
"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books."–Revelation 20:12.

BIBLE PASSAGE:
REVELATION 20:11-15.
11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

INTRODUCTION:
The Scripture establishes two kinds of eternity: eternal life and eternal damnation (Revelation 20:6). It also establishes that there are 'Books' and there is the 'Book' which is the book of life (Revelation 20:12). This book of life is different from 'the book of the living' mentioned in Psalm 69:28 which is earthly; a physical life, and not eternal life. This book of life according to the Bible is the same as the Lamb's book of life (Revelation 21:27). God is the greatest recorder and rewarder. He knows those who are His and has their records. He also has the records of those who do not belong to Him (2 Timothy 2:19).

TEXT REVIEW: REVELATION 20:11-15
Two books are mentioned in the passage. The dead that will stand before God and be judged from the books are sinners who will partake in the second death or external punishment because their names are not written in the 'Book of Life' which is meant for the saints.

LESSON OUTLINE
1: THE 'BOOKS' VERSUS THE BOOK OF LIFE
2: WHO WILL NOT BE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE?

“And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.” – Revelation 16:16

BIBLE PASSAGE:
Revelation 16:12–16
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

INTRODUCTION:
In the Bible, the word “Armageddon” comes from the Hebrew word “Har-Magedone,” which means “Mount Megiddo.” It refers to the predicted location of the catastrophic future battle between God and the forces of evil, as recorded in the book of Revelation. History tells us that armies have fought countless battles in that region: Egyptians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, and Crusaders fought in Megiddo, as well as the armies of Napoleon. Megiddo was the site of battles during World War I in 1918 and the Arab-Israeli War of 1948.

TEXT REVIEW: Revelation 16:12-16.

ii. Gideon's victory over the Midianites (in the Valley of Jezreel, also known as the Plain of Esdraelon, or Megiddo) – Judges 6:33; 7:1-25.
iii. Armageddon was also the site of a great tragedy: it was the place where King Josiah was badly wounded and this led to his death when he meddled in a war against God's warning (2 Chronicles 35:20-24).

QUESTION 2: Is there an exact or specific location known where the battle of Armageddon will take place?

ANSWER: No, the use of the name in Revelation may be symbolic rather than precise.

vii. He will bind Satan and put him in the bottomless pit, and He will set up His kingdom on earth for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-6).
viii. Believers should note that no force of evil can battle with the Lord; God always wins.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:
Will the Battle of Armageddon put a permanent end to evil on Earth? Discuss.

MEMORY VERSE:
"Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted." Galatians 6:1.

BIBLE PASSAGE:
2 CORINTHIANS 2:5-8.
5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

INTRODUCTION:
A soldier is a person who is a member of an army. As Christians, we are soldiers of Christ called out from the darkness of the world to fight for the faith we profess in Jesus. No wonder, Apostle Paul says "...endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). However, the Christian soldier may be wounded during this fight. This may be due to the enemy's attack, sin, carelessness, backsliding, loss, betrayal, hurt, being aggrieved, backstabbing, etc. This injury must be treated and the wounded soldier restored so that the person is not completely lost.

LESSON OUTLINES
1: DISCIPLINE AND COMPASSION
2: RESTORATION

OUTLINE 1: DISCIPLINE AND COMPASSION
A. Discipline
i. The Christian soldier who sustains an injury due to sin, misbehaviour, carelessness, avoidable mistakes, etc, must be disciplined in love and according to God's word so that the person may learn and serve as an example to others (1 Timothy 5:20).
ii. This discipline must have a period it will last.
iii. The offender must know why the discipline is being enforced.
iv. Correction may seem grievous to the offender but it is the son that the father loves, that he chastises (Proverbs 15:10; Hebrews 12:7-8, 11).

B. Compassion
i. If the injury was due to a loss, the Christian soldier must be shown enough compassion until fully re-established (Romans 12:15).
ii. Those who suffer from unjust treatment, backstabbing, hurt, etc. must be attended to by those who know the truth to right the wrong if possible (Acts 6:1-3).

OUTLINE 2: RESTORATION
Restoring the wounded soldier is a process which would require the following:
1. Love: Genuine love must play an active role in the restoration process. God disciplined David when he committed adultery but he did not dethrone or kill him (2 Samuel 12:12-14; Romans 12:9-10).
2. Build A Strong Support System: A good network of faithful believers must provide the necessary succour and a good landing for the wounded soldier (Galatians 6:1).
3. Never Leave The Wounded Soldier Alone: We must not allow the wounded soldier to be ill alone; this may worsen the person's state rather than heal it. (Galatians 6:2).
4. Care And Visit: Our visitation must be deliberate and purposeful. We must take time to comfort with words from the scriptures, and use good practical examples, etc. We must also take time to pray for and with the wounded soldier (Romans 12:5; 15:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:25).
5. Never Castigate: The wounded soldier who has been disciplined or aggrieved does not need to be criticised because "being down does not mean being out" (Proverbs 12:18; Matthew 7:1-2).
6. Not A Plague: We must never treat the wounded soldier as someone struck with a pandemic rather, we must seek after the wounded soldier so that the person does not go down into depression or another sin (1 Corinthians 12:25-26).
7. Do Not Trample Upon: We must consciously lift this wounded soldier up and never crush such a person through any negative attitude.
8. Open To Corrections: The wounded soldier must also be open to correction and comfort of the Holy Ghost (Proverbs 12:1; 2 Samuel 12:13) to be fully restored into the fold (Philemon 1:10-12).

CONCLUSION:
The wounded soldier must be recovered and fully restored.

QUESTIONS:
1. What roles do discipline and compassion play in handling a wounded soldier?
2. Mention five requirements for restoring a wounded soldier.

"Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Galatians 6:1.

BIBLE PASSAGE:
2 CORINTHIANS 2:5-8.
5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

INTRODUCTION:
A soldier is a person who is a member of an army. As Christians, we are soldiers of Christ called out from the darkness of the world to fight for the faith we profess in Jesus. No wonder, Apostle Paul says "...endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). However, the Christian soldier may be wounded during this fight. This may be due to the enemy's attack, sin, carelessness, backsliding, loss, betrayal, hurt, being aggrieved, backstabbing, etc. This injury must be treated and the wounded soldier restored so that the person is not completely lost.

TEXT REVIEW: 2 CORINTHIANS 2:5-8.
A man had committed a serious sin and the apostle Paul had previously addressed it sternly and encouraged the Church to discipline the offender. However, in this letter, Paul emphasises the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation, reminding the Corinthians that the punishment inflicted on the man was sufficient and that the church should now reaffirm their love for him since he has repented. He stated that:
i. If any have caused grief, he had not grieved me, but in part that I may not overcharge you all. V5.
ii. .........................................................V6.
iii...........................................................V7.
iv............................................................V8.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. DISCIPLINE AND COMPASSION
2. RESTORATION

OUTLINE 1: DISCIPLINE AND COMPASSION
The teacher should explain the two sections in this outline and allow the students to contribute to the lesson to make it interactive.
A. Discipline
i. The Christian soldier who sustains an injury due to sin, misbehaviour, carelessness, avoidable mistakes, etc, must be disciplined in love and according to God's word so that the person may learn and serve as an example to others (1 Timothy 5:20).
ii. This discipline must have a period it will last.
iii. The offender must know why the discipline is being enforced.
iv. Correction may seem grievous to the offender but it is the son that the father loves, that he chastises (Proverbs 15:10; Hebrews 12:7-8, 11).

B. Compassion
i. If the injury was due to a loss, the Christian soldier must be shown enough compassion until fully re-established (Romans 12:15).
ii. Those who suffer from unjust treatment, backstabbing, hurt, etc. must be attended to by those who know the truth to right the wrong if possible (Acts 6:1-3).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1 :
In light of he above point raised, is it right to suspend an accused indefinitely before an investigation is concluded? Discuss.

OUTLINE 2: RESTORATION
Restoring the wounded soldier is a process which would require the following:
1. Love: Genuine love must play an active role in the restoration process. God disciplined David when he committed adultery but he did not dethrone or kill him (2 Samuel 12:12-14; Romans 12:9-10).

2. Build A Strong Support System: A good network of faithful believers must provide the necessary succour and a good landing for the wounded soldier (Galatians 6:1).

3. Never Leave The Wounded Soldier Alone: We must not allow the wounded soldier to be ill alone; this may worsen the person's state rather than heal it. (Galatians 6:2).

4. Care And Visit: Our visitation must be deliberate and purposeful. We must take time to comfort with words from the scriptures, and use good practical examples, etc. We must also take time to pray for and with the wounded soldier (Romans 12:5; 15:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:25).

5. Never Castigate: The wounded soldier who has been disciplined or aggrieved does not need to be criticised because "being down does not mean being out" (Proverbs 12:18; Matthew 7:1-2).

6. Not A Plague: We must never treat the wounded soldier as someone struck with a pandemic rather, we must seek after the wounded soldier so that the person does not go down into depression or another sin (1 Corinthians 12:25-26).

7. Do Not Trample Upon: We must consciously lift this wounded soldier up and never crush such a person through any negative attitude.

8. Open To Corrections: The wounded soldier must also be open to correction and comfort of the Holy Ghost (Proverbs 12:1; 2 Samuel 12:13) to be fully restored into the fold (Philemon 1:10-12).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:
Why do fellow Christians desert and treat those undergoing discipling like plagues?

CONCLUSION:
The wounded soldier must be recovered and fully restored.

EVALUATION:
What roles do discipline and compassion play in handling a wounded soldier?

CLOSING PRAYER:
Father, please help me to be an obedient and compassionate soldier of Christ.

ASSIGNMENT:
Mention five requirements for restoring a wounded soldier (2x5=10 Marks).
