PART B: 24 DEPTH DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

SECTION 1: GOD'S BLESSINGS

The message explained that Moses declared, “He is the faithful God.” What does this mean in practice according to Deuteronomy 7:9? Explain the significance of this blessing?
REFLECTION: Have you ever experienced God's consistent faithfulness in a situation where everyone has abandoned you? How does knowing that “your father and mother will forsake you, but the Lord” change your approach to human relationships and your emotional security? In what current situation do you need to lean on His faithfulness this week?
.
What is the second blessing mentioned in the message? What does it reveal about God's character?
REFLECTION: Do you understand that your faithfulness to God today opens doors of blessing for your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren you will never see? What obedient decision will you make this week, thinking not only of yourself, but of future generations in your lineage? How does this change your perspective on the “small” sacrifices God asks of you?
In Deuteronomy 7, what does God say to Israel in the face of nations more numerous and more powerful than they are? What is the specific promise in verse 24? The message also quoted Psalm 91:14 – complete: “Because he cleaves to me, I will __.”
REFLECTION: How will you apply the word “Do not be afraid” in your personal circumstances and in your service to God? What relevance does it have for us as a congregation?
.
What does God promise Israel in Deuteronomy 7:15? The message also quoted James 5:14-15 – what does this passage say about praying for the sick? What is the promise: “The prayer of faith __ the sick person.”
REFLECTION: Why do so many Christians have illnesses they don't even mention, never asking for prayer? The sermon pointed out, “Clearly, they don't believe they are at war.” Do you truly believe that healing is part of your inheritance in Christ? Is there an illness in your body or that of a loved one that you will take a stand in faith for this week instead of passively accepting?
.
Recite Romans 8:28 as it was repeated several times in the message. In the story of God's servant attacked online, how many people left the church? What was his exact reaction? What was the end result?
REFLECTION: The sermon stated, “We are not waiting for God; God is waiting for us.” How does this truth reverse your perspective on your unanswered prayers? In what situation do you need to shift from “Lord, when will you act?” to “Lord, I will obey and trust you”? What current “attack” in your life will you see as an opportunity for God to demonstrate His faithfulness?
.
The message quoted 1 Corinthians 2:9: “Eye has not seen, ear has not heard…” Finish the verse. What specific blessing does this passage say comes to those who love God? What does Jesus say in John 14:21 to the one who keeps His commandments?
REFLECTION: Why might your spiritual life be shallow—not because God is withholding something, but because you are not fulfilling the condition (obedience) that grants access to this intimacy? What area of disobedience is currently blocking your access to the revelations God wants to give you?
.
In Deuteronomy 7:13, what does God specifically promise to bless if Israel loves and obeys Him? (List at least 5 things mentioned in the text)
REFLECTION: Many Christians pray for prosperity but disobey God in their financial management, tithing, generosity, and work ethic. How does your current obedience (or disobedience) in these areas affect God's ability to bless you materially? The story of the generous giving cow woman—what principle about generosity and God's blessings does this story illustrate?
.
Deuteronomy 7:14 makes a surprising promise regarding infertility. What exactly does this verse say? The message mentioned that God promises “He will bless you and __.”
REFLECTION: This promise is not only about physical fertility, but also about spiritual fruitfulness. Why are some Christians “barren” spiritually—producing no fruit, winning no souls, seeing no transformation around them? Examine your life: Are you spiritually fruitful or barren? If you are barren, what disobedience or lack of love for God is causing it?
The sermon spoke of two crowns promised to those who love God. Read the verse corresponding to the first one? To whom is it promised? And what is it?
REFLECTION: Do you think you are positioned to receive this crown?
.
Besides the crown of life, what other crown was mentioned in the sermon? Read the relevant passage and explain what it is. To whom specifically is it promised?
REFLECTION: How is your love for Christ's return practically manifested in your life? Are you living in active expectation of His return, or are you so comfortable in this world that His return would disrupt your plans? What do you need to adjust in your life to be ready to receive this crown?
.
The pastor shared a powerful personal testimony about Hebrews 6:10. According to the English version cited, what does this verse say about God not forgetting? What was so striking about this passage that I said, “Wow, you're not being unjust”?
REFLECTION: This passage reveals that God takes note of all our service, our love shown to His children, our generosity, our commitment. Honestly, does this passage apply to you? If God were to look at your life this year, would He see enough service, love shown, and support for His work to say, “I cannot forget you”? Or are you living such a passive Christian life that even though God is faithful, there is nothing to reward?
.
List from memory at least 7 of the specific blessings taught as being promised to those who love God and keep His commandments
REFLECTION: Looking at this list of extraordinary blessings, why are there so many Christians who are not experiencing any of these realities? The message stated, “Many Christians are not experiencing this because they do not love Him. They are not obeying Him.” Do an honest audit: Which of these blessings are you fully experiencing? Which ones are missing from your life? And what is the relationship between the missing blessings and the areas of disobedience in your life?
.
SECTION 2 FOUNDATIONS OF BIBLICAL LOVE
.
Recount the experience shared by the pastor in Salvador de Bahia. What vision did she have and what did it reveal to her?
REFLECTION: Have you ever had such a profound awareness of this aspect of your relationship with God? How does this awareness (or lack thereof) affect your daily decisions and your readiness to serve God?

The message explained that in the Hebrew concept, love involves three elements. Can you name them and give a concrete example of each from the sermon?

.
The message quoted Deuteronomy 7:9 on God's faithfulness. Until what generation does God promise to keep His covenant and His mercy? On what condition?
REFLECTION: How might your current obedience (or disobedience) affect your children and grandchildren? What changes do you need to make now to open doors of generational blessings for your descendants?
.
The sermon asked the question: “What is your added value in the kingdom of God?” What three specific questions were asked to assess this added value?
REFLECTION: Honestly answer these three questions for your life this past week. If you are not satisfied with your answers, what concrete plan will you put in place to make your life truly important for the kingdom?

SECTION 3: RESPONSIBILITIES AND APPLICATIONS

Why does the sermon teach that God can take away our abilities (speech, walking, intelligence)? What spiritual principle does this illustrate?
REFLECTION: How should realizing that all your abilities are gifts from God influence your willingness to use them for Him? What specific ability is God asking you to use for His service that you have neglected?
.
The message spoke of Father Hagin and his children. What did his children not know until adulthood, and why? What was the result over several generations?

The sermon quoted Romans 8:28: “All things work together for good to those who love God.” Tell the story of the servant of God whose church was abandoned by 400 people. What was his reaction and what was the result?
REFLECTION: In the face of what current adversity do you need to apply this promise? Instead of giving in or complaining, how will you position yourself in faith this week to see God turn the situation in your favor?
.
What did the message teach about following online “professional critics” who attack God’s servants? What advice was given?
REFLECTION: Review your social media followings. Are there people you follow who spend more time criticizing than sharing Jesus? How are these voices affecting your heart and your perception of the Church? What will you do about it today?
.
The message stated: “God is constantly looking for trustworthy men and women.” According to the sermon, what determines whether God can trust us? Is it related to years of conversion or something else?
REFLECTION: Can God trust you today? Not in five years when you are “more spiritually mature,” but now? Do you do what He wants even when you don’t feel like it? In what specific area does God expect you to demonstrate trustworthiness this week so He can trust you more?
.
At the end of the sermon, people came forward to say, “I will do out of love what I didn’t want to do before.” The pastor said in the closing prayer, “We take responsibility for all those you have decided to save through Abba House.” What should be done to take this commitment further?
REFLECTION: Here is a suggested action plan.

Choose ONE specific blessing from those taught that you desperately need.
Correct disobedience in your life.
