INTRODUCTION:

Dagon was the chief deity of the Philistines, he was the fish god represented as a half-man, half-fish creature. It was with great ceremony that the Philistines carried the arc of God into the temple of Dagon after defeating the Israelites in battle.

They boasted as if they had defeated God Himself who was unable as they thought to protect His people not knowing that our God is a consuming fire and even a jealous God (Deuteronomy 4:24). What a shock, the idol (Dagon) of the Philistines fell twice before the Arc of God and was irreparable broken into pieces.

TEXT REVIEW: 1 Samuel 5:1-12
i: Bring everything to obedience in Christ.
Ii. God is over everything all the time

LESSON OUTLINES: There are two outlines.

A: THE FOLLOWING DAGON (IDOLS) WORKING AGAINST YOUR LIFE MUST BOW:

Pride. – Isaiah 2:11
Lust. – Matthew 5:27-28
Other gods. – Exodus 20:3-5a
Bitterness and hatred. – Ephesians 4:26-27
Self. – Placing what you want ahead of what God wants for you. – Matthew 6:33
The love of the world. – 1 John 2:15
Fear and worry: Giving room to fear and worry is another Dagon that controls your life – Philippians 4:16

B: WAY OUT:

We need to receive a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26-27). We are dead in our sins and we need to be made alive with Christ (Ephesians 2:1-5). Also, placing our desires and affections on the things above as Apostle Paul said in Colossians 3:1-3 will make all this Dagons (idols) working against our lives bow.

ACTIVITY: Mention the different types of Dagon and the way out.

SUMMARY: Sooner or later Dagon must bow to the name of Jesus, so don’t give up.

CONCLUSION:

Every heart has a throne and on that throne sits something or someone (Romans 6:16). Find out the Dagon (idol) that has sneak into your life that make you to bow to fear, worry, sadness, lust and so on and dethrone him today and put God back on His throne. He is the supreme ruler of the universe, the one to whom every Dagon must submit.
