BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 22:1-18

[1]And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

[2]And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

[3]And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

[4]Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

[5]And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

[6]And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.

[7]And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

[8]And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

[9]And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

[10]And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

[11]And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

[12]And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

[13]And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

[14]And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

[15]And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,

[16]And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

[17]That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

[18]And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 3:23-24 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”

INTRODUCTION: Children! Have you ever tried to count how many stars in the sky before’? (Give room for answers). There are too many to count. God told Abraham that his descendants will be trying to count the stars in the sky. Abraham believed in God but as time went by, he and his wife Sarah still had no children. When they were very old, God gave them a son they named Isaac.

RCCG LOWER JUNIOR ZEAL FOR 2021/2022 AGE 6-8 TEACHER’S MANUAL SUNDAY 6TH OF MARCH LESSON 27

1. God told Abraham to take his only son Isaac whom he loved to the land of Moriah

2. God told Him to offer Isaac a burnt offering in one of the mountains that God will show him

3. When Abraham and son got to the top of the mountain and stacked stones to build an altar

4. Isaac asked his father about the animal they will use for the sacrifice and Abraham said God will provide

5. Then the time came for Abraham to do what God said and kill his son

GOSPEL CONNECTION: Abraham was willing to sacrifice his only son as God commanded. Do you know that God gave His only begotten Son to die for your sins and mine because He loves us and does not want us to perish? God’s love is so wonderful that you must serve Him just like Abraham did even to the extent of his willingness to sacrifice his child of promise

6. An angel stopped Abrabam and when he looked up, he saw a ram caught in the bush

CLIMAX: Abraham offered the Ram instead of his son Isaac

CONCLUSION: Isaac grew up and followed God. As years passed Abraham’s descendants became so many that they were difficult to count as the stars in the sky

CHALLENGE: Our God is so loving and wants you to serve Him only. You can only serve God effectively when you GROW:

G: Go to church, Sunday school, or bible club

R: Read your bible and pray every day

O: Obey God’s word

W: Witness to others

INVITATION: Believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved (John 5:24)
