2012 OCTOBER WEEK ONE LESSON


Lesson 19-The Disciple & Home Management
– Managing Resources

Main Text: Acts 5: 1-11                      
Memory Verse: 1 Timothy 6:10

Introduction
The home is a very important place in God’s plan of salvation. It is here that characters are formed and developed through training. For this God provides various resources for the comfort of members. The disciple is called upon to be a steward of God’s resources. This responsibility needs to be carried out well to glorify God.
A disciple of Christ needs to know that:
·         God is the source of all the resources.
o   The earth and everything belong to Him –Psalm 24:1
o   The silver and gold belong to Him – Haggai 2:8
o   The time at his disposal belong to God – Psalm 31:15
o   The food on his table belong to God – Psalm 103:5
o   The clothing he has belong to God – Genesis 28: 20
o   All other resources in the home belong to God – Deut. 8:18
·         God expects him to take good care of all resources in the home
·         Resources must be used to advance the welfare of people
·         Resources must be used to advance the progress of God’s work
·         He should be careful he does not become a slave to any of the resources – 1 Timothy 6:10
·         God blesses disciples who prove themselves faithful stewards.


Points for Discussion:
1.     Mention some of the resources God has given you in the home.
2.    How do you take care of the resources God provides for the home?
3.    Is God pleased with the way you manage His resources?
4.      Are other members of the home pleased with how you manage God’s resources?
