[26]And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
[27]So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
[28]And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Deuteronomy 28:1-6
[1]And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
[2]And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
[3]Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
[4]Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
[5]Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
[6]Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

MEMORY VERSE: “And all these blessings shall
come on thee, and Overtake thee, if thou
shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy
GOD”. Deuteronomy 28:2

HYMN FOR TODAY: There shall be showers of blessing

LESSON AIM: At the end of the study, I should realize that all good things come from God.

CENTRAL TRUTH: To encourage the teenagers to live their lives in such a way they can receive bless ings from God.

INTRODUCTION: Everybody, young or old needs blessings from God. Blessings come from God who is the creator of the heavens and earth. It is the nature of God to bless, as He desires to bless all His children. His blessings are free and no sorrow is added to it. The blessings from God are long lasting too. As God’s children, desire these blessings for your life.

STUDY GUIDE:
A. WHAT ARE BLESSINGS?
The word “blessing” has several meanings, including an authorization that assists or permits you to do something, authorization and assistance from God, a gift, good fortune, or something that is beneficial or contributes to happiness.
Blessings are favours from God. They are all the addition to what you already have.
For example:
• Long life
• Intelligence
• Material things like clothes, food, riches, etc.
• Parents

B. HOW TO RECEIVE BLESSINGS FROM GOD:
1. Through Obedience –
(a) To God Deut. 28:1-3, Gen 26:1-3, 12-14
(6) To man e.g. Parents, Elders, Men of God. Col 3:20, 1 Peter 5:5
c) Doing what His word says/Obeying the word.
2. Living a life of prayers brings blessings. John 14:14
3. Reading and meditating on the word of God brings prosperity. Joshua 1:8
4. Rendering services to God. Exodus 23:25-28, Gen 17:1-6.

C. SOME BIBLE CHARACTERS THAT OBEYED AND WERE BLESSED:
• Peter – Jesus told him to cast his net. He obeyed and caught many fishes. Luke 5:1-9
• The Zarephath widow who obeyed to give prophet Elijah her last meal. 1 Kings 17:10-16
• The Samaritan woman who finally agreed to give Jesus her water. She got the living water. John 4:15-16.

CONCLUSION: The key to God’s blessing is obeying God’s word. If you have no been obeying God’s word, confess and start today. If you have done the necessary things and your blessings has not come, it is awaiting God’s time or the devil is a work. Therefore, pray against delay of blessings. Daniel 10:12-13.

LESSON TWO (02)
TOPIC: THE AUTHOR OF BLESSINGS
BIBLE TEXT: Psalms 104:1-35
[1]Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
[2]Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
[3]Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
[4]Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
[5]Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
[6]Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
[7]At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
[8]They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
[9]Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
[10]He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
[11]They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
[12]By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
[13]He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
[14]He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
[15]And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.
[16]The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
[17]Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
[18]The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
[19]He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
[20]Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
[21]The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
[22]The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
[23]Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
[24]O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
[25]So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
[26]There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
[27]These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
[28]That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
[29]Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
[30]Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
[31]The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
[32]He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
[33]I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
[34]My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
[35]Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

28:1-13).
