BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 41:33-37

³³ Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
³⁴ Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
³⁵ And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

LESSON INTRODUCTION

An investment refers to the act of allocating money or resources to an asset, project, etc. with the expectation of generating profit over time. It is simply the commitment of resources to achieve later benefits.

Practically, your investment can work for you while sleeping and at a time when you can no longer run up and down (Ecclesiastes 11:4-6). Wise investments usually lead to wealth accumulation, income generation, diversification, economic growth and good retirement benefits (Matthew 25:14-30, 2 Corinthians 9:6).

However, we need a thorough knowledge of investment opportunities and God’s leading to invest wisely in profitable ventures (Ecclesiastes 10:10)

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM:

To enlighten believers on investment opportunities and the biblical principles for wise investment decisions.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

Through this study, students should be able to:

• Define the term investment.
• Mention and Explain the investment opportunities available.
• Understand the biblical principles of wise investment.

TEACHING PLAN:

To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignment.

b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.

c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, con-clude, evaluate the lesson and give assignment.

TEXT REVIEW: Genesis 41:33-37.

Joseph, through divine wisdom, gave Pharaoh a novel idea that eventually generated income/profit for the land.

This is a pointer to turning savings into investment.

From this passage, highlight the seven steps taken to prevent the mass destruction of lives in Egypt during the famine:

1. Search for a man discreet and wise… V33a.
2. … V33b.
3. … V34a.
4. … V34b.
5. … V35a.
6. … V35b.
7. … V35c.

TEACHING METHOD:

The Discussion Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

The teacher should ask the class to discuss some of the areas people can invest in and use the following examples of investments that can be both financially sound and ethically right to guide the discussion:

1. Stocks: Buying shares of a company gives you partial ownership. Investors earn through price appreciation and dividends. Christians can invest in companies with strong ethical practices and values that align with biblical principles.
2. Real Estate: Purchasing property or building to earn rental income or sell it at a higher price.
3. Bonds: Lending money to governments or corporations for a set period in exchange for periodic interest payments and the return of the principal amount at ma-turity.
4. Mutual Funds: Pooling money with other investors to buy a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other assets.
5. Commodities: Investing in physical goods like gold, oil, renewable energy projects (solar, wind, etc.) or agriculture (crop production, animal rearing, fishery, snailery, honey production, etc.), which can be traded or stored for future sale.
6. Cryptocurrency: Purchasing digital or virtual currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, where investors hope to benefit from price appreciation.
7. Import and Export of goods and services. Charcoal business, wood, dry fish, animal skin, clothing ma-terial, etc. (Acts 16:14).
8. Businesses. Entrepreneurial ventures or partner-ships: small or medium-scale businesses like printing, fashion and design, confectionery, eatery, fuel station, transportation, raw-food business, etc.
9. Education: School business, writing and publishing of books.
10. Retirement plans, and insurance policies.

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

The discussion would have taken care of class participation.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES OF INVESTING WISELY

1. Divine guidance: It is important to start with God (Genesis 26:1-5). Pray for direction and leading (Psalm 23:2-3; Proverbs 3:5-6).

2. Good Planning: Wise investing involves careful planning, research, and due diligence to ensure profitable outcomes (Proverbs 21:5; Genesis 41:34-36).

3. Consistent step of faith: Take necessary and calculated risk by taith, and invest consistently. Do not allow discouragement (Ecclesiastes 11:1-6).

4. Honesty and Ethical Investment: Christians should invest in ways that are honest and ethical. Avoid ventures that exploit or harm others (Proverbs 13:11; Luke 19:8-9).

5. Kingdom-Focused Investments: Investing should not be for personal gain alone but also to further God’s kingdom and support others (Matthew 6:19-21).

6. Knowledge: One of the golden rules of investment is that you should have some requisite knowledge of the investment intended (Hosea 4:6), or get trusted people who are knowledgeable in those areas to manage it for you (Genesis 41:38-40).

7. Funding: Money for investment can be from personal savings (Proverbs 21:20), retirement benefits, or loans (banks or friends). However, do not take loans that could overwhelm you and make you go bankrupt.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Is it possible to invest without spending money?

TOPIC: GOD’S TIMING

OPENING PRAYER:

 Father, help me to comprehend Your timing.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

The teacher should allow the assistant teacher to review the lesson for the previous week.

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Acts 1:6-8.

⁶ When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
⁷ And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
⁸ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

MEMORY VERSE:

“He hath made everything beautiful in His time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11.

LESSON INTRODUCTION

God’s timing is significant in life (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). It is the perfect moment He has ordained for something to happen according to His will.

It may be difficult for us to understand because it is not about our timing. God’s divine purpose for us starts before birth until the moment we take our last breath.

Sometimes, something can be a great idea and can even be a God idea but for it to be successful it must be in God’s timing.

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM:

To teach the concept of God’s timing.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this study, students should be able to:

• Describe the nature of God’s timing.
• Explain what it means to understand God’s timing.

TEACHING PLAN:

To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignment.

b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.

c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, con-clude, evaluate the lesson and give assignment.

TEXT REVIEW: Acts 1:6-8.

Jesus told His disciples to focus on their primary assignment rather than get worried about the time of the establishment of His kingdom on earth. For it is in trusting His word and doing His will that His plans are revealed.

It reads:

1. When they therefore were come together… V6.
2. And He said unto them …………. V7.
3. But ye shall receive power … V8.

TEACHING METHOD:

The Lecture Teaching Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE NATURE OF GOD’S TIMING

A. God’s timing is perfect.

i. His timing is never early, and it is never late (John 11:21-23).
ii. It is always purposetul (Ecclesiastes 8:бa).
iii. He works all things for good in the lives of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
iv. God is in complete control of everything and everyone (Psalm 31:15a).
v. This is why Jesus told His disciples to focus on their primary assignment rather than get worried about the time of the establishment of His kingdom on earth (Acts 1:6-8).

B. God’s timing is beautiful.

i. It gives room for divine direction (Psalm 37:23).
ii. It supplies hope for a great future (Jeremiah 29:11).

C. It is not unlikely that we question God’s timing in our lifetime especially when we are in a difficult situation (Psalm 34:19).

i. God knows exactly where we are at every moment (Psalms 103:14-15; 139:7-8).
ii. Sometimes, God uses hard times to strengthen us, allowing our Christian faith to mature and become complete (James 1:3-4).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Is it a sin to question God’s timing in one’s life? Discuss.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: KNOW GOD’S TIMING

A. The key to understanding God’s timing is trust.

i. Since human reasoning and understanding are limited, the Bible advises in Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding.”

ii. We should not stubbornly insist on our timing and agenda (Proverbs 16:25; Psalm 37:23).

ill. Also, we need to know God to truly trust Him (Philippians 3:10).

iv. The best way to know Him is by studying, meditating and obeying His word (Psalm 119:105; Joshua 1:8).

v. This will help us to discern God’s timing and make informed decisions (1 Chronicles 12:32).

B. We must learn to wait patiently for God (Psalm 37:7).

i. God is good to those who wait for Him (Lamentations 3:25).

ii. Our patience often reveals the degree of trust we have in God’s timing.

iii. When we wait on the LORD, we receive divine energy and strength (saiah 40:31; Psalm 27:14).

C. While we wait, we must stay connected to God through prayer (1Thessalonians 5:17).

D. Finally, we need the help of the Holy Spirit to understand God’s timing and make the right decision at the right time (Isaiah 30:21).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Is it possible to know God’s exact timing? Discuss.
