Deuteronomy 28:2- “And all these blessings shall come on
thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.”
Students may think obedience earns God's love. Clarify that obedience is the response of someone who trusts God, not a way to buy blessing.
Daily Dependence on God
trusts God in easy times and hard times
depends on Him for needs each day
looks to God for guidance and strength
Connect Psalm 37:4–5 and Philippians 4:19. Dependence on God is not only for emergencies; it is a daily way of life.
Honours God and Shares Blessing
A child of blessing:
honours God in all they do
lets God’s Spirit lead them
shares God’s goodness with others
Blessing is not meant to stop with us.
This gathers Proverbs 3:9, Genesis 12:2, and Romans 8:14 into one identity statement. Stress that blessed people become a blessing.
What shows that someone trusts God each day?
Expected elements: faith in God, obedience to His Word, daily dependence, honouring God, being led by His Spirit, and sharing blessing with others. Invite students to explain one sign in their own words.
