RCCG Sunday School Teacher’s Manual March 2025 Lesson No : 31
OPENING PRAYER: Dear Father, let every iota of fear in me vanish in Jesus’ name.
PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: The teacher should review the previous week’s lesson.
BIBLE PASSAGE: Numbers 27:1-7 (KJV)
1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
6 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
MEMORY VERSE: Numbers 27:7 (KJV)
The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Zelophehad means, the shade or tingling of fear. A man from the tribe of Manasseh, he was part of the Israelites who left Egypt under Moses’ leadership and died in the wilderness. He had five daughters but no sons and therefore no male heirs. After His death, his daughters; Mahlah, Noha, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah went to Moses to demand their father’s inheritance because as women, they were not entitled to any inheritance. Moses took the matter to God and they were justified. We have some lessons to learn from these ladies and the need to ask for our entitlements.
LESSON AIM: To learn how to make demands for our rights.
TEACHING OBJECTIVES:
Through this study, students are expected to:
- Learn how to build confidence in challenging times.
- Understand the power embedded in daring to ask.
- Learn lessons from Zelophehad’s daughters.
- Know how to step into their inheritance.
TEACHING PLAN:
To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:
a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion; and do class activities and the assignment.
b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give an assignment.
TEXT REVIEW: Numbers 27: 1-7.

LESSON OUTLINES:
- THE NEED TO ASK
- LESSONS FROM ZELOPHEHAD’S DAUGHTERS
1. THE NEED TO ASK
The teacher should ask the students to give reasons why it is important to ask questions when necessary.
The class teacher should explain the outline as stated below
A. Although our heavenly Father knows our needs (Matthew 6:8), Jesus emphasised the need to ask in Matthew 7:7.
i. To ask is important because it is those who ask that will receive (Matthew 7:8; 1 Kings 10:13).
ii. Enquiring sheds light on a subject (Deuteronomy 32:7-8) as it brings clarity and revelation.
iii. It brings results and requests are granted (Ezra 7:6).
iv. We have access to information and become informed (Genesis 43:7-8).
v. It resolves the question of leadership and provides adequate counsel (Judges 1:1; 20:23).
vi. Being specific in our demand gives us what we want (2 Kings 2: 9-10; Matthew 7:9).
vii. It gives us access to our inheritance (Psalm 2:8).
viii. We get a good grasp of the old path (Jeremiah 6:16).
B. Even research shows that asking questions builds emotional intelligence.
CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Why are some people afraid to either ask questions or ask for help when in need of such?
2. LESSONS FROM ZELOPHEHAD’S DAUGHTERS
The class teacher should ask the students to mention some attributes needed to make a demand for their benefits or inheritance.
The teacher should then explain the outline.
The following are some life lessons to learn from these ladies:
- Being Audacious: Irrespective of their gender and the limitations placed on women in Israel (then) they were brave (Numbers 27:1).
- One Voice: They stood in unity before Moses, the priest, and even the congregation of Israel (Numbers 27:1-2; Genesis 11:6).
- Go To The Right Source: These ladies did not beat about the bush; they went to the man in charge who they knew could handle their matter and give them what they wanted. They went to the right source (Numbers 27:2).
- Knowledge: They were informed and had a good knowledge of history to know those who rebelled against God and died in the wilderness (Numbers 27:3a; Proverbs 13:16; 11:9).
- Speak Out: They placed a demand on Moses to get their father’s inheritance. Moses brought their matter to God (Numbers 27:4-5) and He vindicated them by granting their request (Numbers 27:7). As a child of God, you must learn to speak out and claim your inheritance.
- Emancipators: They brought freedom to others as they raised the legal case of a woman’s right and obligation to inherit property in the absence of a male in the family and a law was made to regulate inheritance in Israel (Numbers 27:8).
- Obedience: They fully complied with the instruction God gave through Moses that they should get married only within their father’s tribe (Numbers 36:6; 11).
CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Have you ever demanded what belonged to you before? What was your experience?
CONCLUSION: Taking what belongs to us may sometimes require some conscious, deliberate, and necessary efforts. Step out into your inheritance now.
QUESTIONS:
- Identify four reasons why believers must make enquiries
- Draw out five lessons from the life of Zelophehad’s daughters
EVALUATION: How can believers make enquiries?
CLOSING PRAYER: Dear Father, I receive the grace and boldness I need to make demands for all that belongs to me.
ASSIGNMENT: Write out five lessons you have learned from Zelophehad’s daughters (2×5=10 Marks).
