Zechariah 2:5 “For I,’ says the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.”
During trials and tribulations, when we put our faith and trust in God, He will shower us with His grace and show His mercy upon us. However, if we do not trust Him, and keep doubting His every work, can He bless us? The Bible quotes on numerous occasions, that JESUS himself asked people who came for blessings and healing to Him, saying, ‘Do you believe? If yes, then be healed.’
Romans 3:22 “Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe: For there is no difference:”
If you lack in faith, then the promises God has stored for you, cannot be fulfilled. Faith is the key, through which we can claim our blessings.
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Unfortunately, many of us pray without believing that God can actually work in our lives. If you believe wholeheartedly, even a silent prayer can work wonders in your life. Hence, dear readers, whatever your situation today, never lose faith that God can turn any circumstance in your favour – if only you believe.
Isaiah 43:2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.”
As each one of us awaits our salaries after working for a whole month, likewise, God has an abundance of blessings in store for all His children who wait upon Him alone, in faith. Our work during that time is not to grumble but to stand in faith that our Heavenly Father will shower His blessings on all of us, His children, in time!
Your sister in Christ,
Pastor Saroja M
Praise the Lord. I was diagnosed with Hypertension in 1996, and since then, I was taking B.P. medicine. 20 years ago, Pastor Saroja had asked me to swallow 1 teaspoon Methi (Fenugreek) seeds with water daily in the morning. I followed this advice diligently over all these years.
In 2021, I realized that my B.P. was normal every time I checked, so I stopped taking the B.P. tablets without checking with my doctor. Over the past two years, my B.P. has remained normal, and I believe that obedience to the Lord’s minister has blessed me in this regard. I recently shared this with my doctor along with the fact that I had stopped taking my B.P. tablets for the past two years. The doctor could not believe it, saying that B.P. does not disappear just like that, especially if it has been diagnosed 28 years ago. On checking it herself, she was startled to see that truly my B.P. was normal.
I give thanks to Pastor for her advice and prayers for me. Thank You, Jesus, for effecting this healing within me. I give You praise for Your kindness and mercy!

Praise the Lord. A few days ago, I picked up my daughter, Sara, from her school. She normally would sit behind me, on my bike, but that day I made her sit in front of me. By God’s grace alone, we were saved from a major accident, as a rickshaw suddenly came and dashed us from behind, rear-ending us with a big hit. If Sara had been sitting behind that day, she may have been hurt severely. But by God’s mercy, she was saved from any hurt.
I give all glory to Lord Jesus for saving her. I also thank Pastor Saroja for praying continuously for all the Church members. All glory to God.
*Bro. Hardik Patel, Mira Road.
Praise the Lord. I was experiencing severe heaviness in my chest and was finding myself unable to breathe. I called up the Rose of Sharon Prayer Tower and requested Pastor Saroja for prayers. Pastor very earnestly prayed for me, and within 2 – 3 days I started feeling better.
I thank my dear Lord Jesus for touching and healing me, and I sincerely thank Pastor Saroja for keeping me in her prayers. Thank You, Jesus.
*Bro. Sunil, M.P (ROS TV Program Viewer)
Praise the Lord. I developed a pus boil under my left arm, which hurt terribly. I tried to break it but was unable to do so, and instead, it started hurting me even more. I then just applied the Blessed Prayer Oil on it.
The next day itself, the pain subsided and within a few days, the boil just disappeared.
I thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for healing me, and I thank my dear Pastor Saroja for praying over the prayer oil and always remembering me in her prayers. Thank You, Jesus.
*Sis Evangela Roberts, Mumbai.
Sebastian was a God-fearing and hard-working man who dedicated his life to doing good deeds for his Church and being perfect in God’s sight.
Of late though, he started getting busy with the pressures of work, which were stressing him out daily, but Sebastian remained perfect in his spiritual life and all his deeds towards God and the servants of God; and he never complained about his stressful life.
One day, Mark, his senior manager called him and informed him that his working hours were going to be increased as his work output was less, and deadlines were delayed from his side. Furthermore, his junior, Ms. Lizzie, was going to be promoted, and Sebastian had to report to her with immediate effect.
Sebastian was shocked since he was giving his best at work. Secondly, Lizzie was recently appointed a year ago while he had served the company for more than 15 years. When he tried to put forth his case, he was given a warning letter, informing him that he had a day to complete his pending tasks, or else he would be terminated.
Depressed, Sebastian walked home after a hard day at work and reached home. Seeing his face, Mary, his wife asked him the reason, and he explained the whole matter to her. Being a strong Christian, she reassured Sebastian through the word of God and told him to submit everything in the Lord Jesus’ hands, and He would take care of everything. After dinner, both said their family prayer together, committed the situation to God, and went off to sleep in peace.
The next day, when Sebastian reached the office, he heard through his colleagues that Lizzie was going to be promoted to Junior Manager and that he, Sebastian, was to be reporting to her. He heard that Mark was on his way to the President’s office to get the promotion letter signed. Sebastian did not say anything, but quietly went to his desk and said a prayer asking the Lord to give him courage and peace to overcome the situation.
On reaching the President’s office, Mark (Sebastian’s manager) came in for a shock, as, he in turn was handed a letter from the President with the following changes to be implemented with immediate effect:
a) Sebastian is to be promoted to Senior Manager.
b) Mark is demoted to Junior Manager.
c) Mark and Lizzie, both are to report to Sebastian.
Humiliated, shocked, and speechless, Mark came and handed over the promotion letter to Sebastian.
Sebastian could not believe his eyes, and he immediately knew that ‘God had fought this battle for him.’
He immediately went down on his knees and said a prayer of thanks to the Almighty God who had done such a wonderful work in his life.
God, time and again has assured us in the Bible, that if we have faith in Him and trust in His word, our every battle is His, and when we humble ourselves at His throne of grace, He will lift us in His time.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
Our God has set before us ‘life and death,’ i.e. ‘blessing and curse.’ He has given us the right to choose between these two ways. As a Father, He advises us to choose ‘life.’ If we choose ‘life,’ then we will be blessed in everything we do.
3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” For us to have life, Jesus Christ sacrificed His life for us. This blessing of ‘life’ is not by chance, but because of the great sacrifice that Jesus Christ performed on the Cross of Calvary for us. Know that when we choose ‘life,’ we will be blessed in everything we do till the end of our lives. When we are obedient to His command, we will be joyous in everything we do in life.
Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” There is a ‘fruit of death,’ and then there is a ‘fruit of life.’ Which fruit we eat is based on our choice and our desire. When we eat the ‘fruit of life,’ our tongue will always confess ‘faith.’ We will be a vessel of good testimony for God, and we will praise and glorify His name always.
In the Garden of Eden, God had kept both these fruits of life and death, and He made Adam and Eve aware of the same. God told them to eat of all trees, except the ‘Tree of Knowledge’ which was at the centre of the Garden of Eden. As mentioned earlier in Deuteronomy 30:19-20, God had kept before Adam & Eve, life and death, blessing and curse, and He gave them the right to choose between the two for themselves.
Even today, if we obey His voice, we will dwell in the land of the Lord sworn to our forefathers, viz. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In the Garden of Eden, God gave Adam and Eve two choices to make, and we know how they forsook the fruit of life and instead ate the fruit of death when they ate from the ‘Tree of Knowledge.’ Immediately, sin entered their lives and the grace of God left them. Due to their disobedience, they were ashamed and had to hide when God came to meet them. After sin entered their lives, they had to be cast out of the Garden of Eden for their sin and disobedience. God had kept both ways open for them to choose from. However, Adam and Eve did not pay heed to God’s instruction, and instead chose the way of death by eating of the ‘fruit of death.’
God never forces anyone in this world to make their decisions, He allows people to make their own choices and decisions. As we have read in Genesis and Exodus, from the beginning, God gives us the choice to make our own decisions. But the moment we disobey God, grace exits from our lives, and we become sorrowful and sad, and lose our peace. Our sins become a veil between God and us. God never forces His decision upon us, but He blesses us with wisdom to make a choice in our lives. Sin came into this world through Adam and Eve, but our Lord God did not forsake or leave us because of our sins. He wanted to give us back the life that we had lost in the Garden of Eden, hence He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ into this world.
Today, our lives are more valuable than the lives of Adam and Eve. This is because the life that we have now is due to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross. If we forsake Jesus Christ in our lives, remember that God does not have another Son to sacrifice again for our sins, for God has already sacrificed His only Son to deliver us our sins. When Adam and Eve sinned, they were cast out of the heavenly Garden of Eden, yet subsequently, Jesus was sent into this world as a sacrifice for our sins. We must profess our faith and live our lives for God. When Adam and Eve sinned, they did not have the ‘Word’ to counsel them. God had to sacrifice His son Jesus, on the Cross, to deliver us out of our sins. This is a great testimony before us today. If we have ears, we must listen, and if we have eyes, we must see the ‘truth.’ But, if we forget our blessings and life, and instead choose death and curse, we will have no one to save us again.
We know the story in the Scriptures, where the rich man, while burning in hell fire, cried out to Abraham saying, ‘Father Abraham have mercy on me, give me one chance to go and tell my brothers and sisters the truth.’ Abraham told him, ‘You need not go down to them, for there are prophets and priests to preach the Word, and they have to make their own choice there.’ Our God has not changed, and He is the same unchanging God. In the end, we may cry out like the rich man, but we will not receive the mercy and grace of God again. We will also not get another chance, even as the rich man did not get another chance. It is today, here, and now that our Lord God has given us the choice, and it is left to us to make that choice, even as Adam and Eve also had the option to decide what they wanted to choose.
Along with the choice, God also gives us the wisdom to choose life, with which we will be blessed with happiness and joy till the end of this world. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” God has counselled us through this Word, and He promises we will reach the place of Abraham and Isaac. We are all so casual today in our attitude, for we feel that we can live our lives the way we want, and later, we will accept the Lord and ask for forgiveness for our sins. But it does not work like that with God. Many people come to our ministry to get deliverance from bondage, healing from illness, employment, healing of relationships, etc., and they do not come searching for God himself. Such people make a choice of choosing death and curse, for they are not interested in gaining life and blessings.
God has kept before us blessings and life, and death and curse. He has left the choice to us, but He still advises us to choose ‘Life.’ God knows that we are weak, and we can fall at any time. God says, ‘Look at the heavens and earth, it is perfect till this day; so also, is the Word that comes out of my mouth, it is true.’ We must fear the Lord so that we may be delivered from our sins, pride, and ego. Remember, we have been baptized and have accepted the Lord Jesus. We have been washed by His blood, so we must not sin against the Lord. Ephesians 2:1 “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;” Today, the choice is in our hands, and God will force no man. Whosoever chooses life will get life; those who choose death will go down to hell fire. When we live a careless life, we must remember we are registering ourselves to go to hell. The people of the world will not understand what ‘heaven’ is; sadly, they call this ‘dead world,’ heaven.
We know the pain of hell if we read the Holy Scriptures wherein hell is described. Hell is not made for us but for sinners. When we become the enemy of God, He will send us down to hell. Thus, to become good individuals, we must choose life, and this choice is in our hands. God has pulled us out of the pit when we were dead. Thereafter, He advises us, but the final choice on how to lead our lives is still left to us. Deuteronomy 11:26-28 “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.”
If we challenge God on this, we are disobeying Him. We may not have heard God’s holy Word till today, but now when we hear the ‘Word of God,’ it must capture our hearts. Blessings that we get from God are not only for the present but also for generations to come. Deuteronomy 11:27-28 “A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.” We do not need to know or bother about other gods when we already know the ‘Living God.’ Once upon a time, we were living in the darkness of this world; but we were pulled out of that pit, hence now we do not have to dwell on our past. The way to heaven is narrow, while the way to hell is wide, and when we are walking on the heavenly path, we do not need to bother to know what is happening on the wide path to hell. This is what God expects from us. God never forces anyone to follow Him, for He is a God who has given us ‘free will.’ Once we have chosen Him, there is only one way to God, viz. the narrow way. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and Life Everlasting. Heaven is a place where we are gold, as the Lord has put us through the furnace of cleansing, wherein He has melted and moulded us in His own image.
How is the Lord’s cleansing done for us? It is through the ‘Word.’ The Word is a hammer, and it will break us into fine pieces. If we ignore God’s Word, and we cry out to Him, He will say, ‘I do not know you.’ This is because we walked the wide road and not the narrow road in this world. But, if we accept the Word today and repent, God will give us deliverance; He will shower His grace and mercy upon us and deliver us from our sins.
Committing adultery attracted death by stoning, from the time of Moses. During Jesus’ time on earth, the woman caught in adultery was aware that she had broken the law. Yet, in her heart, she knew how to ask forgiveness from the Lord. She got her deliverance because her heart was true and repentant. We too, must know how to ask forgiveness of Jesus and renew our lives. God does not wish to curse us easily, for He loves us very much. When God blesses us, His blessings are passed from generation to generation.
We know that when we are cursed, untoward incidents happen in our lives suddenly. Because of a curse, lives are ruined, bringing loss in their lives. Just as God’s Word can bless people abundantly, a curse can also bring about immense loss. Often, we see adverse things happen in people’s lives; this is nothing but a curse. In our lives, we must shun curses and welcome blessings. Deuteronomy 33:4 “Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.” We may not have sinned in this life, but perhaps our parents or grandparents sinned. Only God has the right to deliver us out of this curse. Yet, each of us is answerable for our own sins. Know that it is God alone who can turn our curse into a blessing, and it is not difficult for the Lord God to do so. We know of Jacob’s story, and how his brother was searching for him to destroy him; but Jacob wrestled the whole night with the Lord and transformed his curse into a blessing for God’s glory. After this incident, Jacob was made lame, and God glorified Himself through Jacob’s life.
The Scriptures say that Moses permitted man and wife to divorce. But we must understand that Moses gave this decree seeing the hard hearts of men. Mathew 19:5-8 “And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.” In God’s eyes, a married couple cannot be separated simply by granting them a ‘Certificate of Divorce.’ We are the ones that do not pay heed to the voice of God. However much we have sinned, God can forgive us and grace us with His salvation. The Lord says, ‘When in times of trouble call unto me, I will hear and deliver you.” True enough, God does deliver us!
God’s grace can be seen through our works. He has washed and purchased us with His precious blood. We can feel this through His mercy, which he showers on us. We must choose blessings and life, and not curses and the way of death. David says in Psalm 23:1-5 “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” David chose life and boldly proclaimed the blessings of God.
Prophet Nehemiah gave Jesus a nice name: ‘God who turned the curse into blessings.’ Nehemiah 13:2 “Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.” Once our curse is turned into a blessing, this blessing will pass on for generations. Many of us have been delivered from our sins recently, or perhaps some have accepted the Lord a few years ago. Now, we must remain watchful about it.
God loved Abraham, he was God’s servant and a dear friend of God. Genesis 12:1-3 “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Abraham followed God humbly and walked in righteousness before Him. Hence, God made Abraham His friend. God gave Abraham a promise that He would bless them that blessed Abraham and curse them that cursed him: and in Abraham would all the families of the earth be blessed.
Never speak against the servants of God, for this will surely bring a curse in our lives. Instead, if we give a glass of water to God’s servants, we will be immensely blessed. Today, it is God’s Spirit that teaches us this. God chooses the righteous person and blesses their spirit within them, and the Spirit of God dwells with those who are blessed by God. How can we become rich in God’s spirit? Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Just as Abraham knew that death and life are in the power of the tongue and that they that love it shall eat of this fruit; know that those who curse any blessed child of God will never prosper in life. Just as God spoke to Abraham face to face, today, He speaks to us through the works of His servants. God sent His only son Jesus for us; He sacrificed Him on the Cross. Jesus rose on the 3rd day and is now sitting on the right hand of God the Father. God says, ‘Anyone who sins against me will be forgiven, but if anyone blasphemes the Holy Spirit, he will never be forgiven, neither in this world, nor in the next.’
The Holy Spirit today is strong and mighty amongst us. He teaches and guides us. If we speak against the servants of God who are filled with the Holy Spirit, we are speaking against God Himself. The curse will then definitely come upon us, and we will never be forgiven. Mathew 12:30-32 “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.” If anyone speaks against Jesus he may yet be forgiven, but if anyone speaks against the Holy Spirit, he will never be forgiven. When Jesus was still in the world, we know that the multitudes who had witnessed the many miracles performed by him were the same who were shouting, ‘Crucify Him, Crucify Him.’ But Jesus, our compassionate God, even while on the Cross, said to His Father, ‘Father, forgive them, they know not what they are doing.’ God forgave them, but today, we will not be forgiven for blaspheming the Holy Spirit. If we have not chosen life i.e. Jesus Christ, then we are against God. If we have not chosen Jesus, then how will we respect and value the servants of God? The way of the Lord is perfect and there are no two ways about it.
Mathew 12:30 “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” We cannot travel in two boats. If we do, we will be against God, and will capsize, and be destroyed. When we partake in the body and blood of Jesus, then we must only follow Him and not travel in two boats. If we do so, it would be a curse for us.
To end the curse and suffering that would come upon us, Jesus sacrificed His life for us on the Cross. Galatians 3:13 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”The Law given during the times of Moses was very stringent. The adulteress woman caught in the act was brought to Jesus for judgement. According to the Law of Moses, such a person had to be stoned to death, but Jesus changed this Law at that very moment and set her free. Similarly, our God sacrificed His life on the Cross of Calvary to end all our curses that beset us. If we compare our sins with those as written during the time of Moses and read the Holy Scriptures from Leviticus and Numbers, we will see that they are innumerable and wicked. But Jesus delivered us out of this curse, through His sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary. It is not because of any greatness and goodness of our works, but only because of the sacrifice of Jesus, that we have been delivered out of the bondage of curse.
Revelation 22:3 “And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:” Why is there no curse amongst us today? It is because of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our midst. Even today, God has kept a choice amongst us; we may choose between living a cursed life or with the sacrificed Lamb in the form of the Holy Spirit. God can change our curse even today in our lives when we choose our living God.
May this message be a blessing to all. Praise the Lord!
Pastor Saroja M.
Praise the Lord! My name is Mariyam Purti, a 77-year-old widow from Jharkhand, Jamshedpur, and I am currently a resident of the Rose of Sharon Old Age Home for the past 2 years.
For the last 10 years, my own family had disowned me, and I was in a very pathetic condition. One day, by God’s grace, I got the printed copy of the Rose of Sharon Newsletter and I found respected Pastor Saroja’s details and contacted her.
Though I was a stranger, Pastor Saroja very patiently heard my problems. During the conversation, I mentioned to her that I did not have anyone to take care of me, and she immediately welcomed me to be a part of the Rose of Sharon Old Age Home family.
It has been 2 years now and, Pastor Saroja has continuously shown love and mercy on me in different ways, and lifted me out of my lowest state. I can confidently say that I have never been as happy in my life as I am today. I thank my Lord Jesus Christ from the bottom of my heart for this.
I also wish to share a testimony. I used to suffer from severe pain in my head for a long time. I took many medications and treatments, but it was not getting better. However, after coming to the Rose of Sharon Old Age Home and Pastor Saroja’s prayers, I have been delivered from this pain. Thank you, Jesus, and all glory to You for this healing!
Also, after coming to the Rose of Sharon Old Age Home my spiritual life has changed completely. Reading the Holy Bible, and praying, has become a daily routine for me now, which earlier was not the case, though I was raised as a believing Christian. Hearing the deep revelations of the Holy Bible from the mouth of Pastor Saroja through the weekly messages on YouTube and Shubshandesh TV also is very spiritually enriching.
I truly thank dear Pastor Saroja deeply for her love and kindness, for which there can be no comparison and can only be shared if the Lord’s spirit is abiding in her. Truly, the Lord’s spirit abides with Pastor Saroja, because of which she continues to do such wonderful works of love for so many strangers, out of which, I am one!
Thank You Jesus for everything and especially your daughter, Pastor Saroja through whom you have blessed and given me a new life, at the Rose of Sharon Old Age Home!
All praise, honour, and glory only to JESUS for His mighty works! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord. This is the month when the children are studying very hard and diligently so that they can pass their exams with good marks. But their hard work and dedication continue toward God’s Spiritual Word. They pay the same amount of attention to their assigned work, which they do very well, every Sunday, whether it’s memory verses or questions based on the verses taught.
Our little ones were told a story on faith from the Bible in Luke 18:35-43, where they were taught to trust in the Lord. Here, the blind man asked the Lord in faith that he may see, and the Lord blessed him according to his faith. In the same way, we should have full faith in the Lord, that whatever we ask of Him, He will give us.
The junior children read Matthew 6, where they learned how the Lord taught us to pray, how our fasting must be done only for the Lord to see, and how our treasures should not be on earth but in heaven, and how our works should be performed for heavenly treasures.
The senior children learned 2 Samuel 15, where they read the rebellion planned by Absalom, how David had to flee Jerusalem, and how the Lord was still with David, and he heard David’s little prayer.
2 Samuel 15:31 “Then someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”
In this way, the children learned how to call upon the Lord in times of crisis and trouble, wherein the Lord will surely answer them.
Do continue to uphold our little ones in your prayers.
