Praise the Lord, dear brothers, and sisters in Christ. It gives me immense pleasure to bring to you the first newsletter for the year 2024! I pray and hope that our living Lord Jesus Christ may guard and guide you throughout this new year, as you continue to abide under His mighty shadow!

Numbers 14:8 “If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.”

In our personal lives, daily, we should try and accomplish deeds through our actions, words, and thoughts which our Lord delights in us. The word of God says that only when He delights in us will His mercy and grace continue to be upon us as we travel in our life’s journey. The wisdom of the world cannot help us enter the promised land, but only when God delights in us, would we be partakers in the blessings God has kept for His chosen children.

David says in Psalm 34:5 “They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.”

Striving to constantly seek God’s face and fulfilling His desire, will never be a waste of time. Only by looking unto Him will we have His truthfulness, righteousness, peace, and love in our lives.

1 Peter 1:13 “Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ:”

The above verse clearly states that it is high time for us to be wise and move forward in our spiritual lives with God, for our reward which He has promised each one according to our works done in this earthly life. Hence, we must remain alert, watch, pray, and continually praise and wait upon our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Psalm 19:10 “More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.”

JESUS, our Lord, is the living Word, and hence the Word should be considered precious and priceless in our lives, and we should continually strive to obey the Word of God which He has given each of us in our hands i.e., THE HOLY BIBLE!

Till we meet again,

Pastor Saroja M

Praise the Lord. Whenever I am in trouble at my workplace. I ask for prayers from the Rose of Sharon Prayer Tower. I am thankful to Jesus for answering the prayers of the prayer warriors praying for me. As I work with honesty, there were work-related jobs kept pending, thanks to several detractors in my office. Yesterday, we had a meeting with the Chief Minister of Jharkhand, where crucial decisions were to be taken.

Before attending the meeting, I requested for a prayer from the Rose of Sharon Prayer helpline. I praise and thank God, for the meeting went smoothly, wherein I was much appreciated for my efforts. I thank the Rose of Sharon prayer group for always upholding me in their prayers. I thank Lord Jesus for this miracle in my life.

Praise the Lord. At home, we are constantly using the blessed prayer oil, and we believe in Jesus Christ’s healing power through this blessed prayer oil, which is prayed over by Pastor Saroja, during the Fasting prayer service. I apply it over my teeth, whenever I have a toothache, and on more than one occasion, the ache has disappeared overnight. I also apply it over boils, scratches, sore muscle parts, and they get healed by God’s grace.

Recently, I developed a black spot on my left foot’s toenail, and I have been applying the prayer oil daily. The black spot has remained small and is slowly moving upwards. It will take the normal time for my nail to grow and for this black spot to come out, but I remain in faith that the prayer oil applied daily, will protect my toe until the spot disappears.

Also, very recently, I developed a big blister on the underside of my left foot. This became a blood clot 2 centimetres in diameter and was quite horrid to look at. I applied the prayer oil in faith, and I can see it drying up within a week! I thank God for His grace through the prayer oil and thank Pastor for her prayers for us!

Bro. Ramiah Daniels, Bangalore.

Praise the Lord. I had a wish to open my own startup offering home tuition. I requested Pastor Saroja to keep the same in prayer. By God’s will and grace, I was able to start my own home tuition for students.

I give all glory to Lord, as it is running smoothly. Thank You, Jesus, for everything. All Glory to God alone. I also thank Pastor Saroja for her fervent prayers and timely counselling, which helps us to walk safely and take the right decisions.

Sis. Esther Patel, Mira Road.

Praise the Lord. I hold a high position in the Jharkhand Government. It was my duty to distribute free cycles to deserving candidates. However, there were many hindrances from my other colleagues in doing so. I requested prayer from the Rose of Sharon Prayer Tower. Thanks to the prayers, I was able to distribute the free cycles. I thank my Lord Jesus for helping me in doing this in a just manner. Thank you, dear Prayer Warriors of the Rose of Sharon, for your prayers for me.

Bro. Sunil Bhagat, Jharkhand. (ROS TV Program Viewer)

Praise the Lord. Due to continuously working on the laptop and phone over long hours, I was experiencing severe pain in my head and eyes. I took one Crocin tablet, but it was of no help. The pain simply worsened. I then applied the blessed prayer oil over my forehead and eyes in faith. The pain immediately subsided. I thank Lord for touching me and healing me through the blessed prayer oil. I also thank Pastor Saroja for praying over the prayer oil, and for always keeping me in her prayers.

Sis. Evangela Roberts, Vakola.

 

Ms. Alice was a Sunday school teacher, and she was very upset with the behaviour of the children, amongst all, Sally, who was the most arrogant child of all. One day she decided to teach all of them a lesson, so everyone would have love and respect towards each other.

Ms. Alice took all the children out for a walk. Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day.

On the wall was a big target, and on a nearby table were many darts. Ms. Alice told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or of someone who had made them angry, and she would allow them to throw darts at the person’s picture.

Sally’s friend drew a picture of a girl who had stolen her stationery. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was pleased with the overall effect she had achieved.

The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripped apart.

Sally looked forward to her turn and was filled with disappointment when Ms. Alice, because of their time limit, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn’t have a chance to throw any darts at her target, Ms. Alice began removing the target from the wall.

Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. A hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face, and His eyes were pierced.

Ms. Alice said only these words, “In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” Matthew 25:40

No other words were necessary, and the tears filled eyes of the students focused only on the picture of Christ.

After that day, everyone’s heart changed, and they all dealt happily with each other.

 

 

 

Exodus 16:10 “And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.” The wilderness is a place where we can see God’s mighty glory. In our lives, when we go through our very own wilderness, we can see God’s marvellous glory. The Israelites saw God’s great glory in the wilderness. Isaiah 35:2 “It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.”

A life of wilderness shows us the great glory of God. When the Israelites passed through the wilderness, God showed them His great glory. We can also experience God’s miracle in the wilderness. God fed holy manna to the Israelites in the wilderness. How did God feed them the manna? He dropped it down from heaven, the very same food that the angels ate. God provided the Israelites plenty of water, in a desert where there was no water. These were the wondrous things that God did in the lives of the Israelites in the wilderness.

David says in Psalm 104:1-2 “Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:” What is the clothing of our God? It is honour and majesty, as is written in Psalm 104:1 “Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.” God created Adam and Eve in His own image and clothed them with honour and majesty. But the devil came and cunningly robbed them of this ‘clothing.’ After Adam and Eve sinned and were robbed of the clothing God had given them, they realized they were naked. The devil had robbed them of God’s clothing and made them naked. But our God once again decided to give the Israelites the same clothing back, and He delivered them out of bondage, bringing them out of Egypt. They saw God’s glory once again while walking through the wilderness.

God created Adam and Eve with great love, He made them in His own image and clothed them with His honour and majesty, and He made them rich and abundant. They did not need to go out of the Garden of Eden to work, and God met them face to face daily, showing them His glory each time. Thus, God filled their lives with His honour and majesty. But what did the devil do? He robbed them of this richness, due to which they lost everything in the Garden of Eden and had to leave this paradise, only to toil and work hard to earn their living thereafter. Thus, sin entered the world and put mankind into bondage. But, once again our glorious and majestic God brought mankind out of bondage. The Israelites experienced the great glory of God once again in their lives in the wilderness. In our lives too, when we are in a wilderness, God shows us His glory. John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Today, through His Word and mercy upon us, our glorious God is within and around us. Our glorious God is rich and majestic, so when He is in our lives we are blessed by His richness.

Adam and Eve needn’t have worked forever, for God had provided them His richness and fullness in the Garden of Eden. Because God loves us even today, He has poured His glory upon us in the form of His Word. The Word is Jesus Christ, and when we accept Him, He welcomes us into His family and makes us His sons and daughters. When we become His children, His fullness and richness are given to His own i.e., to us, His children. The same glorious God is with us today.

Colossians 1:27 “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” When we place our complete hope in God, our glorious God reveals this secret (mystery) to us. Those who do not know God will never experience this secret, but we who know Him will experience it. God warns His congregation of the coming days of hardship so that we should not lose His grace in our lives. God reveals His secret to His people. Our God thought His children would be obedient to Him in the Garden of Eden. When He told them not to eat of the ‘Tree of Knowledge,’ He never thought His children would disobey Him. But the devil came and robbed Adam and Eve of the glory of God, and he tempted them to disobey God’s command. He robbed them of the majestic clothing and put them into bondage. Hence, God had to come once again into our lives, reveal His great glory and secret, and release us from our bondage.

Those who do not know God will never experience this, while those of us who know God will surely experience this in our lives. Once again today, God warns His congregation not to let the devil take away His majesty from us. Revelation 2:10 “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” The devil who deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden will not leave us till the end of this earth. He will put fear into us, tempt us with the lusts of the world, and in different ways, the devil will take us away from God so that we may lose the glory of God from our lives. This will always be his wicked plan in each of our lives. To save ourselves from the wicked plans of the devil, God warns us that trouble will befall us only for ten days, but we must remain faithful to Him, in perfect righteousness, and as true believers till the end of our lives.

Just as Adam and Eve lost the glory of God by their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, we too should not be deceived by the devil in our lives. The road with our Lord is narrow and may contain sorrow and pain, but God will give us His strength and power to overcome it. The road of the devil is wide, and he shows us the richness of this world when we are with him, but we must be strong to overcome his temptations in our lives.

Our gracious God once again opened the way for us by sending His only son Jesus Christ into this world, who made the way for us to reach God’s Heavenly Kingdom. Jesus gave His life for us on the Cross, so that we may be blessed with eternal life. God says that the devil can condemn us for only ten days, bringing tribulation and sorrow into our lives. But we must remain faithful to God till our death. This is the warning God gives us.

This is because the devil is always planning to take us away from God, and he constantly brings temptation into our lives, showing the things of this world, even as he did to Adam and Eve. The work of the devil is to constantly surround the world around us, to see when he can cheat us and make us fall in this world. Even as Jesus Christ is constantly around us, trying to take us to God’s Heavenly Kingdom by setting His children free from the bondage of sins, so also the devil is trying to take us away from God by putting us in bondage and entangling us with the sins of this world.

James 1:12 “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” During times of temptation in our lives, we need to overcome this world and obtain victory from it. The devil can bother us with pain and sorrow for ten days, ten months, or even ten years. We must understand then that this is the ‘time of temptation’ in our lives. God’s love alone can help us overcome the ‘time of temptation’ in our lives. Mathew 10:22 “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” Those who are faithful to the Lord God right till the end will win victory and gain the ‘Crown of Life.’ Mark 13:13 “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” It is also written in Mathew 24:13 “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” In our lives, till the end, we must be faithful to God to win our final victory. It is not only for a few days, nor only for a few months; but till our last breath in life, we must win the fight over the evil one, to obtain the ‘Crown of Life’ that God has kept for us. Not only in good times and in prosperity but also in the trying times of our lives must we stand firm in God and win the battle against evil in our lives. Adam and Eve enjoyed life in the garden albeit only for a few days, for when they listened to the devil and disobeyed God, they lost the glory of God in their lives and had to leave the garden forever. Hence, God warns His congregation to be faithful unto death. The devil will constantly bother us in this world, but we must not waver in our faith in God.

Remember, in God’s race there is no 1^st, 2^nd, or 3^rd prize; for God will give the ‘Crown of Life’ to everyone who has won the race of life successfully. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” In God’s race, those who fight the good fight till the end will win the ‘Crown of Life.’ In the Bible, we know the story of Solomon, who started his life with great faith in God. He lived a righteous life before God, and God loved him very much. God blessed him with abundant wisdom, knowledge, and riches of this world, and gave him the great opportunity of building His Holy Temple. But Solomon did not run the race of life faithfully till the end, and towards the end of his life, he failed. As we know, his name is not recorded in the book of Hebrews – Chapter 11, which is the ‘hall of fame’ of the Bible. Isn’t this a sorrowful thing? Even today, God does not see our good work, but He sees our hearts. Solomon started his life with great zest for the Lord, and he began running the race with great faith. God was pleased with him and asked him to build His Holy Temple. But sadly, in the end, Solomon lost his way and got derailed in life, due to which his name does not feature in the list of winners in the book of Hebrews Chapter 11.

Abraham obeyed God and left his country along with his nephew Lot. 2 Peter 2:7-8 “And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)” Here the Bible to Lot as ‘Just Lot,’ for he fought the good race and started off well with Abraham. However, after some time, he chose the temptation of his eyes – he chose Sodom and Gomorrah to lead the rest of his life, separated from Abraham. We all know the end of Sodom and Gomorrah. It was destroyed by fire and brimstone, and we know what happened to Lot and his family. He lost the ‘Crown of Life’ in the end, whereas Abraham won the ‘Crown of Life’ for he fought the good fight till the end of his life.

God warns us that the devil can trouble us, albeit for ten days only, but in the end, if we remain faithful to our Lord God, He will give us victory along with the ‘Crown of Life.’ In the Bible, all those who started their good fight for the Lord also faced a lot of trials and tribulations in their lives, and their lives were filled with sorrow and pain. But because they stood firm with the Lord till the end, they won their race for the Lord. Even in our lives, the devil can press us from all sides with sorrow and pain, bring trial and tribulation, and weigh us down with burdens, but we must remain firm and faithful to our God even till the last breath of our lives.

When the Israelites were coming out of their bondage from Egypt, many perished in the wilderness. Why? Because of the lust of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, temptation, grumbling, murmuring against the Lord God, disbelief, and unfaithfulness to the Lord. Hence, many of them perished in the wilderness itself. 1 Corinthians 9:24 “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.” In the worldly race, two or more will compete, yet only one will get the coveted medal, whether it is wrestling, boxing, badminton, etc. But, when all of us run the race of life with God, each one of us must think that we must win this race successfully, and all of us who win the race will be rewarded the ‘Crown of Life’ by God. However much the devil tempts us, we must not be tempted, thereby losing our blessing. Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” David says, that when we are in deep trouble and temptation, God is our companion and our very help.

In David’s life, we know how the Amalekites invaded, ransacked, and burned Ziklag in Judah, taking away all the booty, along with the Israelite’s wives and children. This was one of the most trying times in David’s life. They cried their hearts out until they had no more strength; but in the end, they made God their strength and might, wherein David asked God, ‘Should I pursue after the enemy?’ God said to David, ‘Go and fight the Amalekites once again and bring the plunder back to Israel.’ David accordingly went and fought the Amalekites and brought back all the plunder along with their families who had been abducted.

1 Samuel 30:4,6,8-10 “Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed. But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.”  Here we see how God strengthened David and gave him victory. David started his race with 600 people, but 200 men fell faint along the way. Finally, only 400 remained with David to fight, and he gained victory over the Amalekites.

During our troubled times, we do not know how our Lord God will save us and pull us out of our troubles. We must only stand in God’s name, and He will fight our every battle. We see how God helped David in this situation. 1 Samuel 30:11-16 “And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water; And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights. And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick. We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire. And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company. And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.”

It was a man from the enemy’s camp itself, who helped David – an Egyptian manservant of the Amalekites, left behind by them, as he was sick. David gave him food and strengthened him. In this manner, God provided David with someone from the enemy’s camp to reveal the secrets of the Amalekites, thus eventually giving victory to David and his men. The man only asked David to promise him that he would not be handed over to the Amalekites nor be killed. David gave courage to his 400 men, those who had continued with him faithfully without murmuring or grumbling. Our God is a great God, and when we are obedient to Him and are ready to fight the race in this world, He will surely help us in different ways to glorify His Holy name against the enemy.

Psalm 124:1-8 “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

In times of trouble, never curse God nor forsake Him, rather, cling to Him and move forward with Him. Remember, the work of the enemy is but for ten days in our lives, but if we cling to God, He will give us victory in the end. We must win the race of life to gain the ‘Crown of Life.’ Job 5:12 “He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.” God alone will save us from the cunningness of man.

The Apostle John says in 1 John 3:2-3 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure:” Here we see two parts. 1. Today, we are the children of God. 2. But, in the future, we do not know.

Adam and Eve were God’s creation, but their disobedience put them out of the Garden of Eden, to toil and suffer thereafter, in their lives. Today we may be with the Lord, but in the future, we do not know. Our God is pure, true, and righteous, and we must also be pure, true, and righteous. God says, today we may be pure, true, and righteous, but about tomorrow no one knows. Hence, we must be careful about our future. The devil is constantly waiting to defeat us and pull us down in life.

Jesus Christ suffered trials and tribulations in this world, but in the end, He gained victory over the devil. Jesus has overcome this world for us, so we should have no difficulty in overcoming evil. It is not a matter of just a day, to be a part of God’s family; rather, it should be our lifetime achievement to be a part of God’s family.

Exodus 4:22 “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:” God tells Pharaoh that Israel is His son. Israel is God’s family and God’s name is given to the Israelites. 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Those who are given the name of God and purchased by His blood, become His children.

Revelation 3:12 “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.” God will give His people a new name, ‘Jerusalem.’ God puts his stamp upon us and makes us His children. This is the very thing that the antichrist will attack when he comes in the end times to fight against God’s children, where he will try to put his stamp on us. At that time, we will be acknowledged on this earth only by the stamp of the antichrist. But God’s people need not worry. We must stand firm and faithful till the end to fight this world.

God has given us His new name for us. John 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” As many as have believed in His name, God gives them the right to be called His children. We cannot take any other stamp upon us from the antichrist, not even in fear. This is the warning and awakening the Lord is giving His congregation today. It may be for ten days or for ten months that the devil can bring trials and tribulations into our lives, but not forever. God will make every power of the devil powerless before Him.

During the end times, the antichrist will bring many obstructions into our lives. Without the stamp of the antichrist, we will not be able to transact money with our banks, buy our livelihood or ration, and sell or buy property. Many trials will come into our lives if we live during the end times. We may even go to prison because of this. But remember to fight the good fight till the end, having faith in God till your last breath, even till the end of this world. All of us should have this faith that we will win our race in this world and win the ‘Crown of Life.’ We all may have different trials and tribulations, but God alone will be our refuge and strength till the end of this world. With this faith in us, we will always be winners and never losers.

Let the Lord bless each one of us through this message.

Praise the Lord.

Till we meet again,

Pastor Saroja M

Praise the Lord! We wish all our readers a blessed and Prosperous New Year!

What a fun and joyful evening of Christmas Celebrations we had, as we celebrated the Rose of Sharon annual Christmas event on 24^th December 2023.

The Sunday school kids performed action songs. The Junior children’s song was called “Jesus, what a Friend,” which explained that Jesus is much better than any friend, better than any superhero. The senior girls and boys performed a song titled “Anand aur Sthuthi, Parmeshwar ki.” 

It was an amazing evening with back-to-back awesome performances, not only by our Sunday school children but also by mind-blowing performances across all age groups, followed by the Christmas gift distribution, which is the most awaited moment for the little ones.

We then had the customary ‘Santa’ visit who made each one of us dance to his ‘jingle bells!’ There seemed to be no age barrier, as all grooved to the Christmas mood with Santa, as Christmas Carols continued through the late evening.

It is only our Lord’s work that enables us to celebrate better and better each year!

As we step into 2024, we request all our dear readers to uplift our little ones in your prayers, so they continue to grow in God’s grace and abide in the love of Christ.
