Topic: GOD PROSPERS DILIGENT WORK

Main Text: Genesis 26:12-22

Memory Verse: Genesis 26:22

Introduction

When we are diligent with our work, God will bless and prosper us. Work is a form of worship we render to God because He  gives us our skill– (Ex. 36:1), gives us our work – (Gen. 2:15), promotes us and blesses our work (Ps. 75:6-7) and gives us our success e.g. Joseph – (Gen. 39:2-3). God expects us to be diligent in the execution of work no matter how small it is. However, God will expect us to be involved in honest work. The focus of this study is on what we can call honest work for which we should devote our time and energy.

Discussion Questions

1.      What work did Isaac do according to verse 12?

2.      How did God bless the work of Isaac according to verse 12?

3.      What other work did Isaac do according to verse 14?

4.      What other work did Isaac do according to verse18?

5.      What did Abimelech say in verse 16 to testify that God had blessed Isaac?

6.      What lessons can we learn from the attitude of Isaac to work?

7.      How can we know the difference between acceptable work and unacceptable work?

Conclusion

From the discussion so far, we have recognized that God is the source and promoter of work. Therefore, we should please God at our work places so that we can get a very good reward. Whatever level of work we find ourselves in, we must be encouraged to keep upgrading ourselves to higher levels for our current level is not God’s ultimate for us.
