BEFORE YOUR SAMUEL COMES


BEFORE YOUR SAMUEL COMES
Many a time one’s expectation might pend and hold. All may seem not rosy and smooth. People might tend to question your loyalty and faithfulness to serving GOD. People around you might make mockery of you. You might weep silently and be sorrowful within. You might think all hope is lost. You might conclude the end has come. You might lose interest in trusting GOD. You might be a subject of pity and sympathy. All doors might seem shut. All opportunities might seem not forthcoming. All stars and glory might not rise and shine. All efforts might be futile. All ways might seem blocked. All things might seem not working well.
        
          Hannah faced a lot before her Samuel came forth; she was a subject of mockery. Her rival Peninnah provoked and scorned her just because her Samuel isn’t coming forth. She was down casted, downhearted and her soul was disquieted. She wept a lot and turned weeping into her food to the point of losing appetite, just because her Samuel wasn’t forth coming. What then did she do before her Samuel came forth?
1 Samuel 1 vs.10- 11: And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.   11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 
          
      The bible records she rose up in bitterness of soul and prayed unto the LORD. Sitting down weeping, crying will not let your Samuel come forth. You need to rise up like Hannah and pray unto the LORD. The next thing she did was, she vowed a vow. GOD is a covenant keeping GOD. Making that vow to GOD might cause your Samuel to come forth.
Psalms 42 vs. 11: Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in GOD; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance and my GOD.
      
         Finally, GOD hears the cry of the righteous when they cry. If Hannah was unrighteous GOD wouldn’t have heard her. Psalms 34 vs. 17: The righteous cry and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.  Have you been blessed by this piece? Kindly share with others…. I do need a book publisher and marketer for my new book. It is well with us.

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
