THE
CHURCH OF PENTECOST – 2016 BIBLE STUDY OUTLINE
WEEK 47 – SUNDAY
MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 2016
TOPIC: THE
BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE
Main Text: Gen. 22:1-8
Memory Verse: Genesis 22:3 Early
the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of
his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt
offering, he set out for the place God had told him about.
Introduction
Soon, we are
about ending our study on hearing and obeying the voice of the Lord. Hearing
and obeying the Lord brings great blessings. Jesus himself modelled the
attitude of obedience for us. In the Garden of Gethsemane, He asked His Father
to remove the “cup” of humiliation and death from Him. He knew fully what the
crucifixion meant. The emotional pressure was so intense that great drops of
blood penetrated His skin. Yet even in the midst of that agony, Jesus prayed,
“yet not my will, but yours be done” Luke: 22:42. There are many other biblical
examples of those who yielded to divine authority. Abraham after waiting
patiently on God for the promise of an heir coming from his own body was later
asked to sacrifice him. His obedience to this strong instruction from the Lord
gladdened God’s heart.
Discussion
Questions
1. What did God
instruct Abraham to do? Genesis 22:2
2. How did
Abraham respond to God’s instruction? Genesis 22:3
3. What question
did Isaac ask his father? Genesis 22:7
4. Personally,
have you been instructed by God before? What was your response to him?
Conclusion
The blessings
that resulted from Jesus’ obedience was that, He was given all authority and
the name that is above all names. Abraham was also recognized as a man of great
faith and the father of generations. As we learn to obey God, He directs our
paths and blesses us. It is time we learn to pray like Jesus and say “Thy will
be done” Lord!
