MEMORY VERSE: And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. – Luke 12:15

BIBLE TEXT: 2 Kings 5:20-27 (KJV)

20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

24 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

LEADERS DIARY:
LESSON AIM: 
To clearly explain the consequences of greed, even among Christians.

TEXT REVIEW: 2 Kings 5:20-27
i. Greediness is a sin. Stop running after shadows.
ii. Every act of greediness has its consequence.

TEACHING METHOD: Discussion method.

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

LESSON OUTLINES: There is one outline:

THE END RESULTS OF GREED:

1: Greed can lead its victim to an untimely death by committing suicide (- a good example in the bible is Judas Iscariot who was offered money to betray his master, Jesus Christ- Matthew 27:1-5).
2: It can bring an incurable disease upon such an individual and it may transfer to his/her generation yet unborn (- Gehasi left the presence of Prophet Elisha with leprosy and brought the curse to his children – 2 Kings 5:26-27).
3: God’s anger can come heavily upon such a person (- Prophet Balaam had a negative encounter with the Angel of God on his (Balaam’s) way to curse the Israelites for King Balak – Numbers 22:21-32; Jude 1:11).
4: It can lead to a rejection as a leader by God – King Saul went for the spoil or booty of the war that God instructed him not to spare anything in the land of Amalek – 1 Samuel 15:18-26).

ACTIVITY: What is greed? Mention some of its consequences.

SUMMARY: Please eschew greediness.

CONCLUSION: Man became selfish after the fall. So, from that time till now, man is not free from greediness. Except a regenerated man who has gone to the cross of Jesus Christ to dip himself/herself in the blood. God never ceases to mete down punishment on any person(s) who indulges in this scourge. Please repent immediately and make restitution like Zacchaeus – Luke 19:8.

PRAYER POINTS:

  1. Father, thank You for the salvation of my soul.
  2. Father, please from today I repent from any act of greediness in me.
  3. Father, please uproot every seed of greediness in the lives of all RCCG workers and ministers.
  4. Pray for Daddy G.O. and his family.
  5. Individual requests.
