BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 41:33-37 (KJV)

33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

MEMORY VERSE: There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. – Proverbs 21:20 (KJV)

LESSON INTRODUCTION: An investment refers to the act of allocating money or resources to an asset, project, etc. with the expectation of generating profit over time. It is simply the commitment of resources to achieve later benefits. Practically, your investment can work for you while sleeping and at a time when you can no longer run up and down (Ecclesiastes 11:4-6). Wise investments usually lead to wealth accumulation, income generation, diversification, economic growth and good retirement benefits (Matthew 25:14-30, 2 Corinthians 9:6). However, we need a thorough knowledge of investment opportunities and God’s leading to invest wisely in profitable ventures (Ecclesiastes 10:10).

TEXT REVIEW: GENESIS 41:33-37

Joseph, through divine wisdom, gave Pharaoh a novel idea that eventually generated income/profit for the land. This is a pointer to turning savings into investment. From this passage, highlight the seven steps taken to prevent the mass destruction of lives in Egypt during the faming.

LESSON OUTLINES 1: INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

The teacher should ask the class to discuss some areas people can invest in and use the following examples of investments that can be both financially sound and ethically right to guide the discussion:

Stocks: Buying shares of a company gives you partial ownership. Investors earn through price appreciation and dividends. Christians can invest in companies with strong ethical practices and values that align with biblical principles.
Real Estate: Purchasing property or building to earn rental income or sell it at a higher price.
Bonds: Lending money to governments or corporations for a set period in exchange for periodic interest payments and the return of the principal amount at maturity.
Mutual Funds: Pooling money with other investors to buy a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds or other assets.
Commodities: Investing in physical goods like gold, oil, renewable energy projects (solar, wind, etc.) or agriculture (crop production, animal rearing, fishery, snailery, honey production, etc.), which can be traded or stored for future sale.
Cryptocurrency: Purchasing digital or virtual currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, where investors hope to benefit from price appreciation.
Import and Export of goods and services: Charcoal business, wood, dry fish, animal skin, clothing material, etc. (Acts 16:14).
Businesses: Entrepreneurial ventures or partnerships: small or medium-scale businesses like printing, fashion and design, confectionery, eatery, fuel station, transportation, raw-food business, etc.
Education: School business, writing and publishing of books.
Retirement plans and insurance policies.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES OF INVESTING WISELY

Divine guidance: It is important to start with God (Gen 26:1-5). Pray for direction and leading (Psalm 23:2-3, Proverbs 3:5-6).
Good Planning: Wise investing involves careful planning, research, and due diligence to ensure profitable outcomes (Proverbs 21:5, Genesis 41:34-36).
Consistent step of faith: Take necessary and calculated risk by faith and invest consistently. Do not allow discouragement (Ecclesiastes 11:1-6).
Honesty and Ethical investment: Christians should invest in ways that are honest and ethical. Avoid ventures that exploit or harm others (Proverbs 13:11, Luke 19:8-9).
Kingdom-Focused Investments: Investing should not be for personal gain alone but also to further God’s kingdom and support others (Matthew 6:19-21).
Knowledge: One of the golden rules of investment is that you should have some requisite knowledge of the investment intended (Hosea 4:6), or get trusted people who are knowledgeable in those areas to manage it for you (Genesis 41:38-40).
Funding: Money for investment can be from personal savings (Proverbs 21:20), retirement benefits, or loans (banks or friends). However, do not take loans that could overwhelm you and make you go bankrupt.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Is it possible to invest without spending money?

CONCLUSION: Research and prayerfully select investments, considering both financial returns and the broader impact.

EVALUATION: State the biblical principles of wise investing.

CLOSING PRAYER: Father, I receive the grace to invest wisely.

ASSIGNMENT: Identify five reasons some believers are not investing (2×5=10 Marks).
