CENTRAL THOUGHT…for with God, nothing shall be impossible. TEXT: GEN. 24:1, 34-36; 35:1-7; JOHN 15:4-5 INTRODUCTION:The word ‘empower’ means to give power to someone or give official authority or legal power to act on behalf of another. It could also mean enabled, inspired, influenced, or promoted and trained. An empowered family is that where every member properly takes his/her responsibilities. 2 Peter 1:3 says, “According to His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue”. As believers, we are expected to begin the gospel propagation from our homes. LESSON OBJECTIVE To know what it means for a family to be empowered Discuss ways God can empower a family Know the hindrances to family empowerment Know what it means to succeed BIBLE TRUTH: QUESTION 1) WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR A FAMILY TO BE EMPOWEREDFor a family to be empowered, it means that God is involved in building and establishing it. He lays the foundation and makes provisions for its spiritual and physical well-being. Psalm 127:1 says, “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it…”. As the master builder, God made the provision for families’ empowerment...

CENTRAL THOUGHTPromotion acquired through God’s standard is enduring. TEXT: ESTHER 6:1-10; 10:1-3 INTRODUCTION:Everyone loves to be promoted, either as a servant/ worker or a student. Mordecai, a war captive, started as a servant at the gate in the palace of king Ahasuerus. He later became a great man. Staying true to God’s word may cost us positions and advantages in the short run, but those who choose God over money/ power will one day acquire heavenly wealth beyond measure (Matt. 6:19-21).God is using the situations we face daily to weave a pattern of godliness into our character. The pathway to glory or promotion is humility and obedience. A heart and an attitude of obedience and humility remain the bedrock on the pathway to promotion and success in life.The natural man is arrogant, self-willed, self-centered, and disobedient. Such people as Haman, Prime Minister to King Ahasuerus, find it difficult to submit to the authority of God. God had woven an effective counterstrategy against which Haman’s plan could not stand. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12).Any believer who chooses to go the way of humility has chosen the path to greatness, promotion, and honor. Another route...

CENTRAL THOUGHTThe name of Jesus is the believer’s weapon for all purposes. BIBLE TRUTH: QUESTION 1A) HOW DID JESUS OBTAIN THIS GREAT NAME? HEB. 1:1-4, EPH. 1:20-23, MATT. 28:18-20, PHIL. 2:5-11 The Lord Jesus obtained this name: (1) By Inheritance: God the Father bequitted the name to Him as the Son of God and Heir of all things. As a Son, the name Jesus is one of the things He inherited from His Father (Luke 1:31). (2) By conquest: After Jesus rose from the dead, God made Him to sit at the right-hand side of His Majesty in Heaven, far above principalities, powers, dominion and every name in this world and in the world to come. He put all things under Him and made Him the head of the church. (3) By God’s authority: At the commissioning of His disciples to go and preach the gospel to all the nations, Jesus told them that all authority has been given to Him, (by the Father) so they should baptize those who believe in Him, in the name of the Father, the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. (4) By Humility and Obedience: Although Jesus had the freedom as God’s Son, to affirm the fulness of God, which His Father placed...
