GOD AT THE CENTER OE OUR-BUSINESS (DO NOT EAT THE SEED)

TOPIC: GOD AT THE CENTER OE OUR-BUSINESS (DO NOT EAT THE SEED)

TEXTS: PROV 68:19, LUKE 6:38, 2 COR 9:6

AIMS: At the end of the lesson, students should be able to;

1. Discover why they acquire wealth.

 2  Preserve the seed.

  3. Appreciate God with their substance.

Seed is the life of every plant. In many instances, human beings are regarded as seed especially in family circle. Without seeds there will be no hope for planting in the next season; that is why farmers preserve healthy seeds in their barn. Government; through the ministry of agriculture nurture and improve seeds to aid farmers to cultivate and harvest good farm products.

God has a special way of sustaining wealth for his children. One such way is through giving. When a child of God gives out to God, he or she is depositing in God’s bank where neither rust nor mud can devour. God is faithful, he promised “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38. Do you desire your wealth to grow to unlimited company? Give out something to somebody today and God will pay you back.

WHY HE MAKE YOU TO PROSPER LUKE 12:42-48. Several Christians feel their money or substance is for their selfish interest. The wealth in your possession is under your care for proper distributions and the supervisor is watching as you do the distributions. The early church parted to all men their need. Acts 2:44-45, Acts 4:34-35.

READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES AND DISCUSS HOW GOD VIEW RICH MEN: MATT 19:18, MAT 27:57, Luke 1:51, 1 Tim 6:15:17, Luke 12:16-22, Luke 18:22-25. God desires that one should be rich with material wealth? and that such a person should know God and use his riches to the glory of God and humanity. Joseph was a rich man who buried Jesus in his grave. He fulfilled the prophesy about Jesus Christ in his death “he was rich in his death” Isaiah 53:9. Many dreams could be fulfilled through you, many faces could always smile because of you, and much future could be guarantee because you are there. The church of God could be blessed richly because of you.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ECCL 12:13: The whole duty of man is to keep God’s commandments; believe the bible and do what His prophet as you to do concerning ‘giving’

1. GIVING TO THE CHURCH WHICH DISTRIBUTES Acts 2:44-45, Acts 4:34-35

2.  TITHING: Give 10% of our income to God’s work. Lev 27:30, Numb 18:21, 18:24, Deut 14:22, Prov 3:9, Mal 3:10,3:8-11.

3. GIVE FOR SPECIAL PROJECTS: Believers are encourage to give for special projects. Exo 35:5, 2 kings 12:4,5, 9-12 .

4. GIVE TO THE POOR: When you are giving to the poor, you are appreciating God Who creates them and he will bless you.

Remember when giving, you are investing your seed for your self.

PREPARATION FOR STREET PREACHING AND VILLAGE CRUSADE.

TEXT: Mark 16: 15-20; Lk. 14:28-32; Prov. 24:27. The great commission of Christ covers every person, people and place. Since the fall of man, God has been providing ways of restoring the fallen man to Himself. The only perfect way came eventually i.e Christ “the lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29). The gospel of Christ is the POWER of God unto salvation to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH (Rom. 1:16-17). Therefore the whole gospel must be preached to the whole world. To reach the world with the gospel requires planning. Planning in the means and the method to adopt. The men God can use to carry out this great task. Bringing men to Christ is a great task: “or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house” (Matt. 12:29). This therefore calls for a crusade a campaign against something believed to be bad (sin) and the preaching of the gospel for the salvation f...

CONSERVING THE FRUITS OF EVANGELISM

CONSERVING THE FRUITS OF EVANGELISM  TEXT: Matt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15-20; Acts 2:41-47.  INTRODUCTION There are two parts of the great commission which was given to the church by Our Lord Jesus Christ. The first one is to preach the gospel to every creature and make disciples of the nations, while the second is teaching the disciples that have been made all that Christ has commanded us. This we generally refer to as follow up. Without giving proper attention to this second part of the Great commission all our labour in evangelization may not produce much fruit. Consequently, there will not be much growth in the Church. Therefore, for the Church to grow as God desires, there must be proper conservation of the fruits of evangelism.  1. MEANING OF FOLLOW-UP.  Follow-up has been defined as the conservation, maturation and multiplication of the fruits of evangelism. Winning and building are inseparably linked together in Scriptures. The new convert requires ...

WITNESSING TO A LOST SOCIETY

TOPIC: WITNESSING TO A LOST SOCIETY TEXT: Acts 17:16-33  MEMORY VERSE: Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry - Acts 1 7.16. CENTRAL TRUTH: Christians have the God ordained responsibility to declare the truth of the Gospel to an ungodly society. The truth of the Gospel is the message of life to the lost and hope to the hopeless from the living God. We are living in a society given to idolatry and other abominations and therefore needs the power of God to bring it back to life. it is only the potent power of God that can quicken men's dead consciousness. “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord", we need to persuade men by proclaiming the true God, teaching them repentance from dead works and faith in the living God.
