TODAY’S LESSON

A. MEMORY VERSE:”Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.” Romans 15:14.

B. BIBLE TEXT: GENESIS 15:1-5, 16:1-6.

1. After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
2. And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3. And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4. And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
5. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

GENESIS 16:1-6.

1. Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2. And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3. And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4. And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5. And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
6. But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

C. LESSON INTRODUCTION Patience is a great virtue. The expectations of God on the believers concerning this is high. Therefore anyone who claims to believe in God and hope to receive anything from Him must distance himself/herself from impatience. Abraham our father of faith, according to Romans 4:3 made this mistake in his walk with God. Our second Bible text maintains that he went jn with his wife’s housemaid and she gave birth to a son – Ishmael instead of waiting for the promised son – Isaac. So Ishmael came out of Abraham’s impatience.

LEADER’S DIARY

A. LESSON AIM: To admonish Christians to constantly have the spirit of patience.

B. TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, members should be able to know that:
i. Impatience can make us fall in our way with God.
ii. Impatience can make us lose the plan of God for our life.

C. TEXT REVIEW: Genesis 15:1-5, 16:1-6.
i. Depression can bring impatience
ii. Lack of believe can bring impatience.

D. TEACHING METHOD: Use interactive/discussion method.

E. TIME MANAGEMENT: Share the teaching time using the suggested time schedule.

LESSON OUTLINE:

CAUSES OF IMPATIENCE
i. When someone is desperate. Hebrews 12:1.
ii. Peer pressure.
iii. Competitive life.
iv. Greediness. Jude 1:11.

BENEFITS OF BEING PATIENT.
i. God promises become real. Genesis 21:1-3.
ii. You will overlook those who were impatient.
iii. You will become a point of positive reference.
iv. Honour becomes your portion. 1Sam.2:30.

ACTIVITY: Discuss why believers are always impatience when they are in challenges or problems?

SUMMARY: It is better to be patient than been impatient.

CONCLUSION: Today’s memory verse is a food for thought in that we can avoid the impatience of our father of faith – Abraham and others in the Bible. But for the mercies of God, Abraham would have missed the plan of God for his life and his generation. However, that Abraham singular impatience is the cause of today’s insurgency and restiveness.
