*LESSON TWENTY (20)
TOPIC: ATTRACTING GOD’S BLESSING  (THE FAITHFUL)

BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 25:14-30
[14]For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
[15]And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
[16]Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
[17]And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
[18]But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
[19]After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
[20]And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
[21]His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[22]He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
[23]His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[24]Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
[25]And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
[26]His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
[27]Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
[28]Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
[29]For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
[30]And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

LESSON AIM: GOD BLESSING THE FAITHFUL

CHILD RELATED TRUTH: Be faithful in whatever is committed into your hands

INTRODUCTION: Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might”. Do you sometimes find it hard to be faithful in your work? If you do ask God to help you to be faithful with each little thing you have to do. If you are faithful with little jobs, you can be trusted with bigger jobs. If you take care of little things God gives to you, He will give you more.

PROGRESSION OF EVENTS
A. A man traveling to a far country called his servants and delivered his goods to them.
B. To one he gave five talents, to another two and another one according to their ability
C. The he who had received tive talents went and traded with them and made another five talents and likewise he with received two gained two more also
D. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground and hid his lord’s money. He probably had done that because he was jealous and angry; it is a sin. You too may have sinful acts that you do like Iying, stealing, hatred etc. Romans 3:23 God will punish sin Romans 3:26 but he loves you and does not want your sin to separate you from him so he gave his son to die for your sin John 3:16 l Jesus took your punishment for sin so you can receive forgiveness if you receive him as your Saviour from sin Acts 16:31.

E. After a long time the lord of those servants came and settle account with them.
F. The one who received five had five more and the master said to him “well done good and faithful servant you were faithful over a few things I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” He who received two had two more and the master said to him “well done good and faithful servant you have been faithful over a few things I well make ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord”.

CLIMAX: Then he who had one came and told the master how he hid the one talent given to him and the master said to him “you wicked and lazy servant and took the one talent from him and gave it to who had ten talents.

CONCLUSION: For everyone who has more will be given; and he will have abundance but from him who does not have what he has will be taken away. The unprofitable servant was thrown into darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

CHALLENGE: Are you faithful in the little you are given? As a child of God use your talent, time and opportunities well. Be faithful to whatever responsibilities you are given at home, school and church and you will be blessed more. Let your Iife attract more blessings by being faithful in all assignments. Luke 16:10 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much, and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.
Thank God for teaching you how important it is to be faithful in little things. Ask Him to help you to be faithful in everything you do.
