MEMORY VERSE: “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no migh the increaseth strength “Isaiah 40:29
BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 40:29-31
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
INTRODUCTION: As we go through the journey of life, enough streng this required. In Isaiah 40:29, the Bible says, the Almighty God is always ready to give power to the tired and worn out and strength to the weak,there is none who never suffers exhaustion but we need God’s grace to recharge for next assignment. When going through the ten virgin’s story in Matthew 25:1-10, your readiness to meet the bridegroom is based on having extra in you.

TEACHING METHOD: Use interactive and discussion method.
LESSON OUTLINE ONE:
WAIT ON THE LORD
Waiting on the Lord means trusting, hoping and depending on God when it seems everything is silent and not working according to one’s programme. When answers are delayed, when inputs are not yielding results, when requests are turned down, when strength is disappearing,you need to wait. Waiting is an act of faith that God will do it. It brings renewal of hope, refreshes your soul, and energises your inner stamina.
WHEN YOU WAIT:
1. Mistakes are reduced.
2. Self-confidence is terminated, trust in God is built. Proverbs 3:5-6.
3. Spiritual transformation is triggered. Moses encountered God in Exodus 3.
4. Demonic activities are exposed and tamed. Mordecai waited at the gate and exposed the conspiracy against king Ahasuerus that led to
his promotion.
LESSON OUTLINE TWO:
DIVINE EMPOWERMENT
Every believer desires strength, speed, victory and positive results, but God hasa system for empowerment i.e. waiting on the Lord. When you wait, you are renewed according to Isaiah 40:31, you are experiencing an exchange. In Acts 1:8, the Bible says, getting power comes when you have encounter with the Holy Spirit, i.e. having God’s presence with you, the disciples waited at the upper room before being empowered, therefore you have to be prayerful, full of positive expectations, be addicted to Worship, praising God and be rooted in the word of God, all these will bring empowerment.
DIVINE EMPOWERMENT BRINGS:
a. Spiritual and physical transformation. Acts 13:1-2
b. Boldness and operating in God’s wisdom. Proverb 28:1, Acts 6:8
c. Destruction of embargoes and evil agenda. Acts 12:3-9
d. Positive changes to lives around you. Acts 28:2-10
e. Establishment of your words being anointed with fire. 2 kings 1:8-15
SUMMARY: To wait on the Lord is to trust Him fully, and follow His timing patiently. Waiting brings to heights you can never reach through personal efforts.
CONCLUSION: Strength from God brings transformation from ordinary lives to state of having supernatural strength. When Holy Spit empowers you, you will rise above fear, weakness and limitations and then you begin to do extraordinary things.
PRAYER POINT
1. Father, release supernatural strength upon me to overcome every challenge of life.
2. Lord, let Daddy & Mummy G.O be strengthened and renewed for greater assignment.
3. Lord, grant me enduring strength to stand firm till the end.
4. I receive power to overcome and to finish well.
5. Father, silence every force assigned to drain my strength in Jesus name.

1:30
BIBLE READING : GENESIS 1:26-27
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
MESSAGE:
From the beginning of time, God gave Women strength and wisdom to fulfil their purpose, whether in their homes, in ministry. or in society. In essence, God created girls to be strong, precious, purposeful, and wonderful in His image. In view of this, I encourage every girl who is reading this to see themselves as a daughter of Zion who shows God’s glory in character, actions, and Words.
If you are a girl, please do not compromise your dignity or purpose for the temporary pleasures of life. You are not defined by worldly standards of beauty or validation from other people; rather, your true worth comes from God. You are far too valuable to be misled by those who do not share God’s vision for your life.
If you are a girl and you are experiencing any form of abuse, I encourage you to open up to a female godly counsellor who will mentor you into developing healthy self-esteem. Additionally, she will teach you the truth about yourself from God’s word, so that you will be prepared for the beautiful future God has in store for you. Happy International Day of the Girl Child!
Quiz: Mention three females in the Bible who showed God’s glory in character, actions, and words.
ACTION POINT:
Tell three girls around you that they are special and loved by God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Mark 14:26-50 Deuteronomy 20-22
HYMN 30 – WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1 When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2 Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey.
3 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey.
[Refrain]
4 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we’ll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey.
