COP 2016 BIBLE STUDY & HOME CELL WEEK 21

THE CHURCH OF PENTECOST – 2016 BIBLE STUDY OUTLINE

WEEK 21 – SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 22, 2016

TOPIC: THE BLESSING OF OBEDIENCE 1

Main Text: Genesis 26:1-6; 12-14
Memory Verse: Genesis 26:6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar.

Introduction

Obedience to God comes with a lot of far-reaching benefits. One of the attributes of God is that, He is all knowing, that is, He knows the end from the beginning. When He commands us to do something, it means He is fully aware of what He wants to do at the end. In this study, we will look at how God blessed Isaac for his obedience to stay in Gerar. When God speaks to us concerning our finances, marriage, job, health among other things, we must trust that He has a better plan in place for us.

Discussion Questions

1. Why did Isaac plan to go to Egypt? Genesis 26:1
2. What did the Lord tell Isaac and why? Genesis 26:3-4. Was there any challenges if he obeyed and stayed on?
3. Why did the Lord promise to bless Isaac? Genesis 26:5
4. How did Isaac obey the Lord? Genesis 26:6
5. How was Isaac blessed after obeying God? Genesis 26:12-14
6. Have you ever been blessed because you obeyed God? Share experiences.

Conclusion

Staying in a land plagued with famine can be very uncomfortable and challenging. Isaac however obeyed God and stayed in Gerar. We learn that even in the famine, God blessed Isaac so much that his crops, animals and even servants increased. The Bible says he had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him (Genesis 26:14). To receive the blessings of God, obedience is the key.
