The Roses Ministry

“So it came to pass, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favour in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand.” (Esther 5:2)

“For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favour You will surround him as with a shield” (Psalm 5:12)

ACTION: When tough, even life-threatening challenges arise, as in Esther's time, let us fast and pray as we live in righteousness. Then let us take action as directed by the Holy Spirit, confident that the favour of God will make us overcome.

PRAYER: Almighty God our Father, thank You for blessing us and clothing us with the righteousness of Christ. Please give us boldness and always surround us with favour as a shield according to your word, in Jesus name, Amen. The Lord Jesus is my banner!

A PRAYER FOR WEEK 21

“Now it came to pass.... that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Judah, Elimelech, his wife Naomi and two sons, went to dwell in the country of Moab,...Then he died... the sons took wives...Orpah and Ruth... Then...her sons also died.” (Ruth 1:1-5)

“The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ.. … Boaz begot Obed by Ruth” (Matthew 1:1-5)
The Roses pray for you and your loved ones that:
you may always ask and follow God's direction and not run away from difficult situations as Elimelech did, running from frying pan to fire;
God will give you faithful and diligent family members like Ruth; God will use your positive and negative circumstances to accomplish His purpose as He used Ruth,who brought joy to Naomi and ended up in the genealogy of Jesus, in spite of the death of her husband and sons.

ACTION: Be willing to sacrifice for others. And it came to pass! Jesus is the Lamb of God, worthy to open the seal!

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; Your young men shall see visions; Your old men shall dream dreams.” (Acts 2:17)

“For we are labourers together with God:” (1 Corinthians 3:9)

ACTION: Learn, identify and use your spiritual gifts to win souls as you share the gospel of Jesus Christ to give others abundant life. In the same way, your physical and financial resources may be used to achieve the same.

PRAYER: Our Father God, thank you for the gifts of the Holy Spirit that you have poured upon us in these last days. Please grant us courage and grace to use them to build lives and harvest souls for the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. Jesus gives His all!
