Learning Objectives:

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:

  1. tell the story of the call of Abraham.

    Abraham used to be called Abram. He was an idol worshipper. He lived with his father and other relatives in a place called Haran. God decided to call Abram to worship and serve Him. He instructed Abram to leave his country, his relatives and his father’s house and go to the land of Canaan. Abram was seventy-five years old when God called him.

  2. list God’s promises to Abraham.

      God said:
    • I will make you become the father of a great nation.
    • I will bless you and make your name great and famous.
    • I will make you a blessing to others.
    • I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.
    • All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.
    • I will give your descendants the land of Canaan.

  3. explain how Abraham responded to God’s call.

    When Abram heard God’s call, he believed what God promised and he obeyed. He took his wife, his nephew Lot, his servants and all his possessions and left Haran to go to Canaan.

  4. explain how God fulfilled His promises to Abraham through Jacob.

    While Jacob slept, he dreamt that there was a ladder that reached heaven from the ground. He saw God’s angels climbing up and down the ladder. Then he saw God standing above the ladder and saying to him, ‘I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. I will give to you and your descendants the land you are lying down on’.
    God repeated the promise He had made to Abraham. He promised to be with Jacob and bring him back to the land of Canaan.


Rationale:

When our friends, relatives, families, even our parents promise us something, most times they fail to keep their promises, they give us excuses why they are unable to fulfil their promises, but when God promise you something He always fulfils his promises just as He did to Abraham. Therefore, there is a need to teach our learners that God fulfils His promises, for this will help learners put on their confidence in God and to hold unto God's promises.
