RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 3 April 2022 INTRODUCTION

Money is the major means of catering for our everyday needs and it is capable of meeting virtually all physical needs. One major reason couples get divorced is financial disagreement. This is very difficult to believe until one begins to feel the pool of financial tensions in the home. Usually, the conflict may not appear to be directly about money but a closer look would reveal that the fight is about priorities, values, dreams, and trusts which are all linked with finances. The Bible caution us about our attitude towards money. (1Timothy 6:10).
