Angels Are Ministering Spirits

OPENING PRAYER: Father, grant me grace to utilise the ministry of angels effectively for my benefit.

MEMORY VERSE: Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? – Hebrews 1:14 (KJV)

BIBLE TEXT: Hebrews 1:13-14 (KJV)

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

LESSON INTRODUCTION: God speaks to man in many ways; God could speak directly to man through dreams, visions and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He uses many agencies too. Among many agencies God uses to minister to man are the bible, circumstances, other believers and angels.

LESSON AIM: To study the ministry of angels.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, members should be able:

  • To explain that angels are created beings for divine purpose
  • To describe how angels serve God.

TEXT REVIEW: Hebrews 1:13-14

  • God never said to an angel to sit in honour at His right hand as He did to His Son.
  • Enemies of God’s children are designed to be humiliated.
  • Angels are God’s servants commissioned to help the saints.
  • They are spirits sent from God to care for those who will receive salvation.

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
