TOPIC: PRESENT IT BEFORE GOD 1: Hannah Did And God Heard Her
MEMORY VERSE:
Isaiah 1:18
18 “Come now, let’s settle this,” says the lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.
BIBLE READING:
1 Sam. 1:9-11
9 Once after a sacrificial meal at Shiloh, Hannah got up and went to pray. Eli the priest was sitting at his customary place beside the entrance of the Tabernacle.
10 Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the lord.
11 And she made this vow: “O lord of Heaven’s Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the lord, his hair will never be cut.”
This week, I want to encourage everyone to tap the “Direct Line” which has been made available to us right from the beginning of the world. This Direct Line was even made easier when Christ came to the world to bridge the gap between us and God. He gave us the access to use His name to have Direct Access to God.
Hannah, before the coming of Jesus, made use of this Direct Line and things changed for her. She saw Priest Eli in the temple, but made use of the Direct Access to God. Most times we seek for who to speak to God on our behalf. We pour out our pains and anguish to men who can do nothing about it and they ended up encouraging us and watered it down without taking it to God. Hannah has experienced such in time past but this time around, she made use of the direct access to God. Poured out her mind to God not the Priest nor her Husband. She told God why He needed to bless her with a child, a son, which is to return Him back to God. She was specific and direct, “Give Me A Son And I Will Give Him Back To You And His Hair Will Not Be Cut”
I’ll like you to use the direct access today. Go to God with that burdens, with crying and pour out your mind to God with a vow to keep when God answers your request. I’m not saying you give God a time frame, No, Hannah never did that. I’m not saying you put a big or gigantic vow up to motivate God to do it, No, just a simple but meaningful vow to show your commitment to Him. A Vow you can fulfill and let it be documented so as not to forget when things changes. Use this direct line for that challenge you are faced with and God will never disappoint you. This week, your prayers with meet the right responses in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
