Revelation of the Word:

THEME: GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS 

1 Samuel 1:12-20 NIV

“As she kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.” “Not so, my Lord,” Hannah replied, “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord. Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.” Eli answered, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.” She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast. Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the Lord and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her. So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”

INSIGHT

-Hannah was found in the place of prayer. She prayed and cried to the Lord for a child as her womb was closed. As she prayed, Eli thought she was drunk as she cried to the Lord in anguish. This is probably because of her long wait and her co-wife’s mockery. The Lord remembered her and answered her prayers. She conceived, a son Samuel, and dedicated him to the Lord. Psalm 127:3 reminds us that, children are gifts from God and the fruit of the womb a reward. May the Lord remember all those who are waiting on Him for children.

PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus You a Faithful God. You are filled with glory and majesty. You are an awesome God and all power belongs to You. You are God and none can be likened to You. You make the barren woman abide in the house as a joyful mother of children, praise be to Your name dear Lord. May You remember all those who are waiting on You for children that, You may release the gift of children upon them, and answer their prayers and hearts desires. May You do that which no man can do. May You open up all those wombs and enable them to bear children in Your name Jesus. May You break every chain and accusation in the court of heaven, and remember mercy dear Jesus. Thank You for what You have done and continue to do. You are indeed Faithful to keep Your promise. Nothing is too hard for You Lord Jesus. We pray this believing that Jesus You have answered. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and forever more. Amen
