Lesson 2
Do not deny the Faith
Bible Verse

“Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the father either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” 1 John 2:23 NLT
No one who denies the Son has any part with the father, but affirming the Son is an embrace of the father as well.” 1 John 2:23 MSG
TAKE A STAND
1. Have I ever denied Christ by my actions or words? _____________________. 2. What 3 popular ways do people compromise in this area? (a) ________________, (b) __________________, (c) __________________.
We have heard of how some parents deny (disown) their children and vice versa for one reason or another? Or heard of people who deny their faith in the face of Death and Persecution? When we find ourselves in the slightest danger do we throw in the towel and deny Christ to gain acceptance?
Ask yourself today; Have you come to a situation where you have to do something you know is wrong because you needed a favour or a position? Have you cheated, lied, or given bribe to gain admission, job or you had to compromise your faith to be loved or to get married or have children? God’s word calls it denying the faith. When we do such things, we deny the faith and fall short of God’s standard.
Take a stand today, say NO to infant killing (abortion), say No to child abuse, say No to the occult, Say No to all forms of spiritual manipulations. Take a stand against household wickedness and demonic operations in your life, family or children. When you do this you have not denied the Son and thus have embraced the Father. As you take a stand today, I join my faith with yours to declare you a winner over that battle in Jesus Name! Amen

Do you hear people talk against our lord and feel weak to defend the faith?
Do you sometimes feel God is slow to act or the name of Jesus is too weak today to do miracles?
Do you at times feel disappointed and even faithless because of what you see around you?
Do you know that by doing that you are denying the Faith? Stand Firm!
