Devotional Reading: Lk. 19:15-27

Topic For Adult: You Were Gifted For A Purpose

Scripture Lesson: Matt. 25:21

Memory verse: “His Lord said to him, ‘well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things, enter into the joy of your Lord”. Matt. 25:21 (NKJV).

SUMMARY

Christ Jesus gives His followers talents proportional to their ability. The greater our talent is, the more pain we must exact in order to make profit of it. Those that are given little talents should not despise it but should utilise it and make gains out of it for God and His kingdom. God will not ask us to account for more than what He gave us. He is going to ask us to render our stewardship in proportion to our talents. Don’t bury your talent because God will ask you what you do with it.

LESSON 6

Suggested Hymns: G.H.B. 69, 236

Devotional Reading: 1 Chro. 29:10-14

Topic for Adults: The Treasures Are Not Yours, You’re A Caretaker

Memory verse: The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. Hagg. 2:8 (NKJV)

SUMMARY

Giving a portion of financial resources is part of stewardship living. It is a powerful way of showing that we truly believe that all we have possessed are given to us by our God. That is, we involve God’s claim in what He entrusted in our hands. The Psalmist in appreciation and gratitude says “What shall I render to the Lord, for all His benefits towards me.”
