LESSON OUTLINE WEEK: 2
Ages: 1 - 15 Years
Breakthrough Unlimited: 2011
Prophetic Focus: My Harvest Time Is HereGalatians 6:9

TOPIC: Hindrances of Praise
TEXT: Joel 1:11 - 12
11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.


BIBLICAL CHARACTERS
:  David – He cried to God to restore to him the Joy of Salvation – Psalms 51:12 - Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 117:1 - O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

Objective: Help the children learn and understand the things that can hinder praise to God.

What Can Hinder Praise To God
1.      Pride – Proud people do not see the need to praise God.
Proverbs 28:25 - He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
Psalms 119:21 - Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
James 4:6 - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

2.      Murmuring
Numbers 11:1 - And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
1 Corinthians 10:10 - Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
BIBLICAL TRUTH: God hate murmuring – I Corinthians 10:10

CHALLENGE FACTOR:
Made a decision to praise God every time you think you need to murmur!

POSITIVE CONFESSION: - I will never be found in the company of murmuring people

ALTER CALL.
