the Bible come and join us you'll have lots and lots of fun just like we do
Holy we are here it's time for you to tell us a story
yes yes I know so today's story is about how Elijah continued to do God's work
sounds great
Elijah who was taken away to heaven by
God in a chariot of fire was the friend and mentor of Elijah Elijah was a
faithful servant of God and God loved him so much but he did not even have to
die to go to heaven the day Elijah was taken to heaven in
the chariot of fire Elijah saw the entire thing happening with his own eyes
which meant it was now Elijah's duty to spread the teachings and works of God
among people God gave Elijah strength wisdom and guided him to carry on with
his work one day the leaders of Jericho came to Elijah but a very serious
problem they said sir Jericho is a beautiful city but living
here is quite difficult the water and the soil of the land is not good which
leads to the growth of unhealthy crops this can cause harm to the people and
even death Elisha heard them up he asked the leaders to bring him a new
bowl filled with salt when the men got him what he had asked for
he took the bowl full of salt to the spring which supplied water to the city
he threw the salt into the spring and announced this is what the Lord says I
have made the water pure and there will be no cause of illness or death because
of the water of Jericho sure enough the water was clean and land
provided fertile soil for healthy crops to grow that was a nice story holy

him I know he asked them to bring a new bowl filled with salt excellent
gumbo well done these kids love the stories from the

was once a prophet of God called Elijah Elijah was a very sweet and kind man
wherever he went people loved him he traveled and taught people about God to
help them in whatever way he could he really was very helpful there was a
woman who lived in a city called she men who had heard a lot about Elijah and
Neal that he was coming there so she told her husband to build a room on
their terrace for Elijah to stay in when he was there when Elijah reached shenem
the woman welcomed him and he lived in the room on their terrace Elijah was
very happy and thankful for all that the woman had done for him he said to his
servant I wish I could hang the kind lady but she is already so rich I cannot
think of anything else she might need the servants smiled and replied glad
that he could be of help well am sure she will like a child and so
the next day Elijah said to the woman next year but
this time you will have a child in your arms the woman soon gave birth to a son
just as Elijah had promised the one day it so happened that her son became very
ill and died the woman ran to Elijah Elijah came to the little
boy's room and prayed quietly he then breathed air into the boy's mouth and
suddenly the little boy sneezed Elijah turned to the woman and said happily do
not cry anymore because your son is alive that is a lovely story I am so
glad that the boy didn't die see good things happen to you if you are good to
people now this is my question for you what did the servants suggest to Elijah
to gift the kind woman well i know know
the servant told Elijah to give the woman a child that is right
tubby very good I'm glad you guys pay attention
today's story is about
the Prophet Elisha and the Syrian general there was a time when there was
war between Israel and Syria the Syrian army had a brilliant general
his name was naman with the help of naman the Syrians attacked the borders of
Israel they stole and took whatever they could find they even took slaves from
the Israelites among the slaves was a young girl who was namaz wife's maid one
day naman got infected with a terrible skin
disease called leprosy many doctors tried could not heal it naman was very
upset Naman's wife would often cry seeing her
husband in pain one day her maid saw her mistress crying she said to her there is
a holy man in my homeland his name is Elijah he is known to perform miracles I
am sure that if master goes to Elijah he will be healed the man's wife told him
about Elijah she asked her husband to send word to the king in Israel that he
wanted to meet Elijah to be healed when the Israeli King heard about naman
strange request she said first he attacks my border and now he wants me to
journey this is just another reason for war Elijah who was with the Israeli King
said let him come he should see that the prophet of God lives here
general naman came to life his house in Israel
there a messenger told him to go and bath in river journey seven times the
general was angry if I had to bathe in the river seven times I could have done
that in Syria the messenger said if Elijia asks you to do something you
should do it naman bath seven times and the seventh
time his leprosy was healed naman said it is a miracle it is true that God
lives in Israel so how many times was the man asked to bathe in the river
i know he was asked to bath seven times is it right imagine bathing
seven times I hate bathing even once
the name of the story iseyes to see that sounds really interesting go on with the storyy holy
when the army of Ahram was at war with the Israelites the king of aram made
plans of places to attack the Israelites but God always sent a message to the
king of Israel through Elijah warning him not to go to those places dismayed
the king of aram very angry and he thought that one of his officers might
be giving out information to the israelites he ordered his officers to
come forward and confess which they all denied its Elijah the Prophet they said
he knows everything that you say even the things you say privately so the king
of Aram sent his soldiers to find Elijah during this time Elijah was in Dauphin
the king of Aram sent his army with many chariots to surround the city of Dauphin
and capture Elijah next morning Elijah servant saw the troops with the chariots
and was terrified he quickly ran to Elijah and informed him what do we do
now he cried Elijah was not at all disturbed by the situation don't worry
he said very calmly we have a lot more soldiers on our side than on theirs the
servant was confused as he did not understand what Elijah was talking about
Elijah prayed to God to open his servants eyes God answered his prayers
then Wren Elisha's servant looked around he saw thousands of soldiers with horses
and chariots of fire God's own army Aram's army started advancing forward to
capture Elijah Elijah again prayed to God o Lord please make the soldiers of
our own blind God answered Elijah's prayers once again
when the soldiers were blinded Elijah went up to the soldiers and said the man
you are looking for is over that way follow me and I'll take you to him
the soldiers followed Elijah who led them to Samaria Elijah prayed to God
once again to restore the soldiers eyesight once Aram's soldiers got their
eyesight back they realized they were in Samaria in front of the king of Israel
the king of Israel asked Elisha if they should kill them no Elijah answered we
do not kill prisoners of the war give them food to eat and water to drink and
send them back on their way the king of Israel followed Elijah's guidance and
arranged a massive feast for Aram soldiers and sent them back to their
land that was really a wonderful story wasn't it oh yes it was and now it is time for
the question of the day where was Elijah when the army of Aram came to capture
him I know he was in Dauphin with his that servant that is absolutely correct well done
