5. TEACHING

a. “Back Track” Review

Twelve weeks ago we started this series about Moringa whose leaves have the potential to save the lives of millions of people.

This series began by educating the children on Moringa, recognized as the ‘Miracle Tree’ called ‘Mothers Friend” and “Mother’s Milk.”

We introduced you to English 'Molly the Moringa Seed’ a Salvation Flipchart

A Turkish version 'Müjde the Moringa seed’ is being translated into Turkish for the children of Turkey

SOWING THE JESUS SEED:

Remember how we SOWED the Jesus Seed?

The children were introduced to the Parable of the Sower, utilizing the material in Turkish from Bible for Children

‘Sower’ is another name for farmer. Who created the earth? (God the Father is the Gardener)

Remember God first planted the Jesus seed in our lives by the Holy Spirit. So although Jesus was speaking about seeds in the parable, the story really applies to people. Where did the first seed land? (On the path)

Jesus knew the importance of the condition of our hearts. “When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.”

In the Parable of the Sower the seeds that fell on rocky places are like people that have hard hearts and little faith in God. When life gets a little rocky, their Christian walk quickly withers and dies.

Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.

7 Kimi, dikenler arasina düstü. Dikenler büyüdü, filizleri bogdu.

Matta 13: 7

There are many things in this world that compete for our time. We need to remove, like thorns, the things in our lives that hinders our relationship with God. We need to keep God first in our lives.

In the final lesson of the Sower’s series we learnt about the seed that fell on good soil. It grew very well, in fact it grew so well that it produced more seed. These seeds also grew to be strong plants.

Jesus is the true vine, and His Father is the gardener.

God wants us to grow Spiritually. In order to grow, plants need sunlight and water.

The light is like the presence of God, Jesus is our light. Being watered is like being filled with the Holy Spirit living & growing in you

Nurturing the Jesus seed

Then we learnt that gardens need to be weeded. Remember you weeded the Moringa, We need to weed the sin out of our lives regularly.

Discussion Questions:
1. What are weeds like? (Sin)
2. What is sin? (Sin is anything we think, say, do or don’t do that displeases God.)
3. What tool will remove sin? (Jesus.)

Remember plants also need to be protected just like we need to ‘guard your heart’.

Get the children to share how they protected their Moringa plant.

• Set a guard over your ears
• Guard your eyes and your mouth
• Guard your ways

In order to grow, plants sometimes need to be pruned. In order for Christians to grow sometimes God has to prune our lives. God shapes us and creates us to be what He wants us to be. Sometimes that is a bit uncomfortable, but He does it for our good in the end.

Can you remember this memory verse.
(Romalilara 8:28)

As your Moringa grows it will start to produce fruit or pods.

Christians need to "grow" the fruit of the spirit in their lives.

GALATYALILARA 5: 22 - 23 'Take Home Bible Verse Tracks' are available for each child. to take home.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT:

Love: We are to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, soul and mind.

Joy: There is a difference between joy and happiness. Happiness is based upon “happenings,” meaning if good things happen, you’re happy, but if bad things happen we are unhappy. Not so with joy

Peace is being content with what God has given us. Be happy with what you have.

Longsuffering is patients, not whining or complaining.

Kindness is giving and helpful. Saying something nice to someone that you see is feeling down?

Goodness means caring and understanding. Do a little something extra to help out at home.

Faithfulness means to be true to God. You all know right from wrong. You all know what God expects. You all know what He says not to do.

Gentleness is being tender and calm. Again, being kind to your family, friends and your pets.

Self-control is managing your wants and emotions. Be careful how you act, what you say.

Finally we reached the stage of HARVEST TIME!

The harvest Jesus was talking about here in the Bible was not Moringa. He was sending out workers to bring people into the Kingdom of God. He said that there were many souls who were ready to be harvested, but there were not enough workers.

Last week we learnt in between the seed-planting & the harvesting a divine process had been going on. GOD HAD BEEN GROWING THE SEED!

The important thing to notice about farmers is that they have to be willing to wait for the seed to come into full growth! That is how you make it through the growing season, REFUSE TO GIVE UP UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR HARVEST!

Have you learnt in this series? Have you understood what you have been taught?

23 İyi toprağa ekilen tohum ise, sözü işitip anlayan birine benzer. Böylesi elbette ürün verir, kimi yüz, kimi altmış, kimi de otuz kat."

Matta 13: 23
