GENERAL BIBLE STUDY LESSON 2-2019

TEXT: LUKE 12.33-34 Sell what you have and give alms; provide
yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens
that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Tagalog:
Ipagbili ninyo ang inyong mga ari-arian, at ipamahagi sa mga dukha ang
pinagbilhan!, Gumawa kayo ng mga sisidlang hindi naluluma at mag-ipon
kayo sa langit ng kayamanang di nauubos. Doo'y walang magnanakaw na
pumapasok at insektong sumisira. "Sapagkat kung nasaan ang kayamanan
ay naroon din ang inyong puso."

TITLE: CHRIST TEACHING ABOUT STEWARDSHIP

GOAL: TO UNDERSTAND THE WILL OF GOD IN MANAGING OUR
STEAWARDSHIP AND FINANCES IN CHRISTIAN GIVING
Stewarship - the job of supervising or taking care of something, such as an
organization or property.

INTRODUCTION:
ALL OF US WERE ALWAYS DREAMING OF ABUNDANCE AND
PROSPERITY FROM GOD AND EVEN IN OUR SECULAR ASPECTS.
ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A HUMAN IS BEING WISE IN
SPENDING ALL THE RESOURCES/ POSSESSIONS BECAUSE WE
ARE AFRAID TO LOSE ALL OUR WEALTH THAT IS THE
PRODUCT OF OUR SWEAT AND BLOOD.
SOME ARE EVEN DOING EVERYTHING FOR PROMOTION IN
SECULAR JUST TO INCREASE PROFIT AND LIVELIHOOD OR
IN ANY MEANS JUST TO GAIN PROSPERITY.
THERE IS NO WRONG WITH THAT BECAUSE WE ARE BEING
CALLED JUST TO BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING.
TELL: ON THE OTHER HAND, GOD'S WAYS ARE ENTIRELY
DIFFERENT FROM OURS.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO USE ALL OUR RESOURCES
EFFICIENTLY?
1. THE STORY OF RICH MAN IN LUKE 12:16-34-(Read the account)
Ang bukirin ng isang mayamang lalaki ay nagbunga ng sagana. 17
Nag-isip siya sa kaniyang sarili. Sinabi niya: Ano ang aking gagawin?
Wala akong pag-iimbakan ng aking ani. Sinabi niya: Ganito ang aking
gagawin. 18 Gigibain ko ang aking kamalig at magtatayo ng higit na
malaki. Doon ko iimbak ang lahat ng aking ani at aking mga mabuting
bagay. 19 Sasabihin ko sa aking kaluluwa: Kaluluwa, marami ka nang
natipong pag-aari para sa mga darating na taon. Magpahinga ka, kumain
ka, uminom ka, at magsaya ka. Ngunit sinabi ng Diyos sa kaniya: Hangal!
20 Sa gabing ito ay babawiin sa iyo ang iyong kaluluwa. At kanino kaya
mapupunta ang mga bagay na inihanda mo? Ganito ang mangyayari sa
kaniya na nag- iimpok ng kayamanan para sa kaniyang sarili. Hindi siya
mayaman sa harap ng Diyos

LUKE 12:33-34 -" Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves
money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not
fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. For where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also.
. EARN YOUR POSSESSIONS AND TREASURES IN HEAVEN, A
TREASURE THAT DOES NOT FAIL AND DOES NOT CORRODE

2. THE STORY OF WIDOW WOMAN SHE GAVE EVERYTHING

THAT SHE HAS..
WE MUST GAVE ALSO OUR WHOLE HEART IN DOING THE WILL
OF GOD, EITHER IN FINANCES OR SERVICE TO HIM... GIVE
WITH ALL OUR HEART, NOT WITH PARTIALITY, NOT HALF, BUT
COMPLETE.
MARK 12:41-44- Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the
people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much.
Then one poor widow came and threw two mites, which make a quadrans.
"So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them,
"Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all
those who have given to the treasury; " for they all put in out of their
abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole
livelihood."

3. THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS-(MAT, 25: 14-30)

5 talento, 3 at 1

JESUS TAUGHT US TO USE OUR GOD-GIVEN TALENT FOR HIS

GLORY (ALSO TALENT IN TEACHING, SINGING, PASTORING,
EVEN OUR STRENGTH AND ABILITY IN FACES AND COMRADES
AND IN MULTIMEDIA TEAM)

RESULT/CONCLUSION:
READ THE PARABLE OF THE TEN MINAS- LUKE 19:11-2

LUKE 19:26 For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and
from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from
him.( SEE ALSO TAGALOG NKJV)
LUCAS 19:26 Ito ay sapagkat sinasabi ko sa inyo: Sa bawat isa na
mayroon ay bibigyan. Ngunit sa kanya na wala, maging ang nasa kaniya
ay kukunin mula sa kanya.

THE BLESSINGS WILL BE DOUBLED AND WE WILL RECEIVE

WHAT WE WILL NEVER EXPECTED. JUST LEARN TO MANAGE
OUR GIFTS AS STEWARDS OF THE MANIFOLD GRACE OF GOD
BESTOWED TO US. (MONEY, TIME, TALENTS, GIFTS AND
OPPORTUNITIES).
TO GOD BE THE GLORY
