REVISION DAY 4
THURSDAY 23/2/2017
LESSON 7
THE PARABLES OF GROWTH
Suggested Hymns: G.H.B. 92, 94
Devotional Reading: Acts 4:1-4
Topic For Adults: Sow The Seed With Simplicity
Topic For Youths: The Invisible Transforming Power
Topic For Intermediates: Knowledge Of Mysteries Of God’s Kingdom
Scripture Lesson: Matt. 13:31-33; Acts 1:4-8
Memory Verse: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field which indeed is the least of all the seeds, but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree” (Matt. 13:31b:32a) NKJV
SUMMARY
The contemporary believers can achieve the same success when we are willing to be taught and willing to share the truth we have learned with others. The knowledge about the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to us (Matt. 13:11). Let us endeavour to sow the seed to the sinners so that the kingdom can be enlarged through us. The illustration of the fermented dough is displeasing but it is used to produce something good. As the yeast permeates the dough and spreads from particle to particle as tiny living organism, fungus type microscopic plants and propagate themselves so is the gospel spreading through society and influence the people even those that initially opposed it.
LESSON 8
THE PARABLE OF THE HIDDEN TREASURES
Suggested Hymns: G.H.B. 75, 80
Devotional Reading: 1 Cor. 2:6-16
Topic For Adults: Sell All To Get Godly Pearl
Topic For Youths: Don’t Miss Your Unique Opportunity
Topic For Intermediates: The Kingdom Of God Is Better Than All
Scripture Lesson: Matt. 13:44-46
Memory Verse: Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like unto treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid, and for joy over it, he goes and sells all that he has and buys the field (Matt. 13:44) NKJV
SUMMARY
The parable of the hidden treasure illustrates the kingdom of God which is a priceless treasure that should be desired above all things. One should acquire the kingdom by selling all and giving up everything that would prevent our being part of it. Selling all means that we must transfer our whole heart from other interest to the one supreme interest – Christ Jesus. Strive to be Roman 12:1 compatible. “I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service”.
