🔥Chapter 2 – Personal Relationship

Game: Listen to Your Helper

Ask all the children, regardless of age, to stand in a large circle. Have them count off in sequence from 1–4 (or 1–3 / 1–2 depending on the number of children). This will divide them into their groups.

Once the groups are formed, give each child a colored paper representing their team and pin or tape it to their shirt.

From each group, choose two volunteers:

• Hero – the player who will complete the challenge.
• Helper – the player who will guide the Hero.

Blindfold the Hero and have them stand inside the circle. Give the team cap to the Helper.

All the remaining children become the Noise.

Place the team balls or balloons in different locations on the floor within the playing area, making sure they are some distance away from the Heroes.

When the game begins, each Helper must guide their Hero to find and pick up their team’s balloon. At the same time, the children who are the Noise should try to distract the other teams’ Heroes by giving incorrect directions.

The challenge for each Hero is to listen carefully and follow only the voice of their own Helper amidst all the noise and confusion. Heroes may move closer to their Helper if needed to hear the instructions more clearly.

Repeat the game with different volunteers as time permits.

Message

To reach the goal, the Hero had to listen to and stay connected with the Helper. In the same way, God wants each of us to have a personal relationship with Him.

We cannot depend on someone else’s relationship with God—whether it is our parents, teachers, or friends. Each one of us must personally respond to God, listen to His voice, and choose to follow Him.

Bible Passage: Genesis 24 : 62-67
Bible Event: Issac had a personal relationship with God

Story Time

Isaac was born into a godly family. His parents, Abraham and Sarah, loved God and trusted Him with all their hearts.

He worshiped God with his father (Genesis 22:5-8). If Isaac lived today he would have gone to church with his parents and maybe even attended Sunday School.

He was an obedient child. (Genesis 22:9)

But Isaac could not become God’s child simply because his parents knew God. He needed his own personal relationship with God.

The Bible tells us that Isaac often went out into the fields to meditate (Genesis 24:63) —to spend time thinking about God, listening to Him, and growing closer to Him.

As Isaac walked with God, God guided his life. He brought the right people and the right opportunities at the right time. God blessed Isaac with a loving family, great wealth (Genesis 25: 11), and a good reputation.

Most importantly, Isaac became known as a friend of God. His relationship with God was so special that God identified Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Isaac’s story reminds us that God wants a personal relationship with each one of us. We cannot live on someone else’s faith. God invites every one of us to know Him, trust Him, and walk with Him personally.
