AGE 4-5 TEACHER’S MANUAL
SUNDAY 27TH OF MARCH, 2022
LESSON THIRTY (30)
TOPIC: PARENTAL BLESSING

BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 48:1-22
[1]And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
[2]And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
[3]And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
[4]And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
[5]And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
[6]And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
[7]And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
[8]And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these?
[9]And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
[10]Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
[11]And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
[12]And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
[13]And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near unto him.
[14]And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
[15]And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
[16]The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
[17]And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.
[18]And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
[19]And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
[20]And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
[21]And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
[22]Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

LESSON AIM: Parental blessings are important.

CHILD RELATED TRUTH: Ensure you earn parental blessing

INTRODUCTION: Parents are father, mother, grand- father, grand- mother by blood or adoption. They are responsible for your upbringing and well-being. Exodus 20:12 Honour you father and your mother that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you. This is God’s commandment for you if you want to receive Parent’s blessings, Ephesians 6:1,2 also remind you of this in the New Testament
How do you honour your Father and your mother?( let the children give their answers then teacher should add more to their responses, then briefly review the life of Joseph one of the main characters in the Bible lesson, how he honoured Jacob, his father
Key point: obedience to God and parents.)

PROGRESSION OF EVENTS
A Joseph was told of his father’s sickness, and he took with him his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim.
Jacob had become old and about to die, a believer goes to God when he dies but no sinner will see Him in death because sin separates you from God. But God loves you and does not want you to be separated from this so, He gave His Son Jesus to die for you so that your sins can be forgiven and can with Him forever
B. Then Jacob was told, and he strengthened himself and sat up on the bed. He told Joseph of God’s promises to his grand father Abraham and his father Isaac.
C. Joseph took Manasseh and Ephraim to his father, and he said “please bring them to me and I will bless them”,
D. He blessed them placing his right hand on the right hand of Ephraim the younger brother and left hand on Manasseh the senior brother. And said; “let my name be named upon them and the name of my father Abraham and Isaac and let them grow into a multitude in the mist of the earth”

CLIMAX: So he blessed them that day, saying “By you Israel will be blessed, saying may God make you as Ephraim and Manasseh”

CONCLUSION: He told Joseph he was dying but God will be with him and bring him back to his father’s land where he has given him one portion above his brothers.

CHALLENGE: Parental blessing is very important you make sure you earn your parents blessings by being good, obedient, respectful and caring to your parents. Ephesians 6:1-8.
