WEEK 13

LORD’S SUPPER DAY

Today’s Lord’s Supper has been necessitated by the fact that Easter Convention will be held during the first week of April 2015. The day could be free or the District/Local can decide to use the study provided for Week 13 in the manual as provided here.

GOD EXPECTS FRUITFULNESS

Main Text: Gen. 9:1-7

Memory verse: Gen. 9:7 “As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it”

Introduction

When God entrusts us with resources, he expects us to use them profitably. It is out of our fruitfulness that we add to the resources and therefore record growth and thereby glorify Him. God expectation of increase is expressed in His command to Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. It is very important for Christians to know that the talents God gives us are for productive use and His glory. When we apply the talents as expected of us, we minister to people to the extent that some lives are transformed to the glory of God.

Discussion questions

1. How did God bless Noah? Vrs 1

2. What form of accounting did God demand from man? Vrs 5-6

3. What charge did God give to Noah? Vrs 7

4. How can you increase the talents God has given you?

5. What happens to Christians who fail to develop their talents?

6. How do you use your God-given talents?

Conclusion

Once the Lord gives a talent, he expects that the recipient will increase the talent through personal development. It has been the principle of God that, when he gives us something, it must increase within us. The Lord graciously led Noah and his family out of the ark and mandated them to multiply the life they had received. Jesus in John 14:12 says that those who believe in him will do greater works. All these show that God expects increase in our talents and we may face condemnation if we fail to increase.

WEEK 12

HOW DOES GOD GIVE OUT TALENTS?8

Main text:  Numbers  11:24-27

Memory Verse: Rom 12:6 “We have different gifts according to the grace given. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith”.

Introduction

Several verses in the Bible make it clear that God has given us gifts. These are so clear that we are not led to think that the gifts will now be given. A person receives gifts from God when he is regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Other gifts are also given when he is baptized in the Holy Spirit, which enables him to perform special tasks in the church and for the Kingdom of God in general.

Furthermore, Some gifts can be given to a person during the time of the person’s call into a special service or ministry. What needs to be understood is that the master has bestowed a talent to you. In our main text today, we see how God takes the prophetic spirit on Moses and puts it on seventy elders who then prophesied immediately to enable them share the tasks assigned to Moses.

Discussion questions

1.      How many elders were summoned by Moses? Num. 11:24

2.      What did the LORD do to the seventy elders? Num. 11:25

3.      What happened to the elders after they received the Spirit of God?

4.      Where were Eldad and Medad? Num. 11:26

5.      How else does God impart gifts? 2Tim. 1:6 6. Do you have a gift? How did you receive it?

7.         How do you use your gift(s)?

Conclusion

The act of calling, which sets people apart for a special duty, favour or benefit and which also confers special abilities on a person and makes him qualify for ministry is the gift of God.

The gift of God may not necessarily refer to some outward manifestation or special influence that comes upon someone. In our study today, we encounter God who imparts gifts to elders of Israel to support Moses in leading the people. As we learnt from the introduction, every Christian has a gift (talent) given either by God himself or through the laying on of hands by elders.

WEEK 11

THE TYPES OF TALENTS

Main text:  Eph. 4:4-13

Memory Verse: Eph. 4:7 “But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it”

Introduction  

A previous study reveals a staggering condemnation of a man by his master because he failed to use his talent. Our churches are, however, filled with many Christians who are not aware of the talents God has given them and how they can maximize the benefits of such talents. Our study today seeks to bring to the fore some of the talents God has put under our control and how we can make good use of these talents. God has a special interest in the development of His church. It is in the light of this that various types of talents are given to His servants to fulfill such a vision.

Discussion questions

1.      What does God give to all of His children? Eph. 4:7

2.      What are some of the gifts that Jesus gave? Eph. 4:11

3.      What is the purpose of these gifts? Eph. 4:12

4.      What would happen to a church without any of the gifts?

5.      Can Christians mature without the gifts of God? Eph 4:13

6.      How can Christians receive such gifts? 2 Tim 1:6

7.      How do you avail yourself to be impacted by the gifts?

Conclusion

Our memory verse makes an emphatic statement “but to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it”. The implication is that, once you are born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit, he imparts a gift (talent) to you. Some talents (gifts) that God has given to all Christians are:

a.      The knowledge of God which comes by studying

His word (Psalm 119:15, 1 Tim 4:13)

b.      The gifts of the Holy Spirit and all the graces in the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor 12:8-12, 1 Cor 30-31)

There are various talents that Jesus has bestowed on his Church. As Christians, we have a responsibility to identify the talent we have been given and how best we can use them to the best of our abilities.
