TOPIC: YESTERDAY
MEMORY VERSE: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,” – Philippians 3:13 (KJV)
BIBLE PASSAGE: Numbers 11:4-7
INTRODUCTION: After the children of Israel left Egypt, it is unfortunate that “Egypt” did not leave them. Despite the miracles of deliverance and divine provisions, they still longed for the cucumbers and garlic they ate as slaves because “yesterday” was vivid in their memories. The same thing applies to some of us who refuse to let go of our past! In this lesson, we shall learn how to overcome the urge to cling to the past, embrace today, and look on the bright side of tomorrow?
LESSON OUTLINES
PAST IS PAST
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT
PAST IS PAST
Below are some of the ways to deal with past events or occurrences:
Be intentional to let go of the ugly past because some bad memories always want to fill our thoughts (Philippians 4:8). Also, do not bask perpetually in the euphoria of the past.
Learn from the mistakes of the past to avoid repetition of the same (John 8:10-11).
Forgive yourself and others for whatever happened in the past (Genesis 50:15-21). Remove the “veil of offense” and never allow it to degenerate into an obstacle (Ephesians 4:31; Hebrews 12:15).
Accelerate your forward movement by thinking and taking the next step into a brighter tomorrow (2 Samuel 12:18-23).
Forget ‘yesterday’ because it is gone. Stop holding on to the past or referring to it incessantly as if you can bring back the hand of the clock (Philippians 3:13).
Free your mind because a negative past enslaves (Galatians 5:1; Genesis 33:1-3, .
Cry to God to take any unwanted memory away. Remember that vengeance is of the Lord: leave the matter to Him (Romans 12:19).
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT
Believers must walk with the assurance that tomorrow will be better (Job 14:7-9). Hope is a prerequisite needed to forget the past and look forward to the future (Job 11:18; 14:14; Romans 5:5). Having a focus will sustain a believer to keep moving (Philippians 3:13-14). Give yourself to the study of God’s word (Psalm 119:15-16) and know that He is your help (Psalm 46:1-5); this gives uncommon happiness and joy (Psalm 146:5). Carve the future by channelling all your energy to positive endeavours to fulfil your purpose in life (Judges 11:1-5). No matter what, win your future (Proverbs 23:18).
CONCLUSION: Remembering the irreparable past generates sorrow, but focusing on a better future brings excitement.

TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
