LESSON AIM: At the end of this study, teens should know and manifest the different fruit of the Spirit in their daily lives.
CENTRAL TRUTH: Let your life manifest the fruit of the Spirit.
INTRODUCTION: The fruit of the Holy Spirit is the result of the Holy Spirit’s presence and operation in the lives of teenagers. Fruit is the natural result of growth. It is not of anybody s striving but the Holy Spirit causes the growth. The Holy Spirit produces the kind of fruit that reflects the nature of Christ. Jesus wants us to be fully endowed with the gifts of the Spirit so that we can do the same works He did. You cannot earn gifts; they are given. You simply need to receive. The gifts of the Spirit are received by faith, and by faith we activate them.
STUDY GUIDE:
A. COMPONENTS OF THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
– The fruit of the spirit is one with many component. Gal 5:22-23
– The fruit of the Spirit is produced by the Holy Spirit. Gal 5:16.18
– The fruit of the Spirit is the fruit of righteousness
– The Lord Jesus through the fruit of the Spirit helps teenagers to conquer the godless nature of the flesh Gal 5:18; Phil 4:13
B. Teenagers are led by the teacher to describe each of the fruit the Spirit and apply it to their lives as Christian teenagers of the end times Gal 5:22-23
• LOVE: As teenagers, we must first respond to God’s love.
• JOY This is a deep inner gladness. It is different from happiness that only comes when good things happen. Joy can be present even when things are not going well. If teenagers trust God and His promises, joy will be there when they remember God’s faithfulness.
• PEACE: Peace is inner tranquility; a calmness of the heart, mind and soul that comes as teenagers depend completely on God. A life of faith, reveals a God of peace.
• LONG-SUFFERING: When you submit to God, the Holy Spirit will help you to accept trouble and pains even for a long time. Col 3: 12-13. He will also give you the grace to endure wrong things people do to you without being angry.
• KINDNESS: This means treating others with love and respect. Since God has been kind to us, we also should be kind to others Acts 9:36
• GOODNESS: To be good is to do what is right. Christian teenagers who live under the control of the Holy Spirit are to show this God-like attribute. An example is Lydia in Acts 16:14-15, 40.
• FAITHFULNESS: A faithful person is stable, dependable and loyal. Christian teenagers have the Spirit of God dwelling in them, so they too can be faithful first to God and then in all things. 2 Cor 11:23- 29, 12:9-12.
• GENTLENESS: Gentleness begins with genuine humility. Everyone should be treated with care. Teenagers should be compassionate and considerate with others. Barnabas is a good example Acts 9:26-27, 15:12&36-39.
• SELF-CONTROL: When a teenager chooses through the power or the Holy Spirit to stay in charge of his thoughts, feelings and actions rather than allowing them to destroy you.
Life Application: Check the fruit you have, improve on it. Check the one you don’t have, ask God for it.
CONCLUSION: The Holy Spirit can help teenagers to bear good fruit that portray the character or Christ. The Lord’s Command is that you should bear fruit but more importantly, the fruits should abide. Having studied the fruit of the Spirit, it is worth it that you allow the Holy Spirit to help you ber good fruit.
