TOPIC: ANTFUL LESSONS – PART 4
TEXT: PROVERBS 6:4-11
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provideth her meat in the summer, andgathereth her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
Key Verse: “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise” (Proverbs 6:6).

MESSAGE:
LESSON 6 – Tirelessness And Persistency:
Ants always keep themselves busy all day long. They are engaged in doing one thing or the other; unlike some children who are idle and lazy. Ants are also persistent when an obstacle is placed on their way, they always find a way around such obstacles.
You must never give up so easily in the face of obstacles. There are many obstacles in life that you must overcome. As long as you keep trying, you will get past whatever is blocking your path.
LESSON 7 – Strong And Hardworking:
Ants are noted for carrying objects that are bigger than them. This is only made possible by means of hard work and determination. Ants are not only strong but also hard working. They take pleasure in lifting heavy objects to their colony.

If we don’t look at how big a task is, but look only at our big God, we will easily accomplish such a task without difficulty.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to be hardworking and diligent.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
