SAMUEL’S EXEMPLARY LIFE OF PURITY

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: SAMUEL’S EXEMPLARY LIFE OF PURITY
TEXT: 1 Samuel 1: 12-20 

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 14th 

Key verse: Matthew 12: 13b. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh
Hannah was barren because the Lord shut up her womb and her adversaries will not let her rest by constantly provoking her. She went up to the Lord in prayers to seek God’s intervention for a child and the Lord answered her. Many will fall prey to the devil by going to seek children from him because of delay in childbearing and because of mockery. Some delays may be because God wants it so for Divine purposes. We saw it in the case of Elizabeth the wife of Zachariah, whose childbearing was delayed by God to usher in the forerunner of Christ. Abraham’s wife, Sarah, also experienced a delay to actualize the promise of God to Abraham to make him the father of nations through Isaac. The case of Hannah was not different as the Lord was in full knowledge to bring in a prophet that He will use in Israel. Let us be patient anytime we experience delays in our lives and answer prayers.
Samuel was lent to the Lord as promised by his mother, Hannah, and he lived with Eli and his two children. Samuel showed exemplary character as a true child of God that loves purity because he refused to be defiled by the sinful lifestyle of Hophni and Phinehas. The Bible called them the sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord. There were negative reports that kept coming to their father but they refused to change their ways. The Bible makes us understand that the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with the Lord and also with men. This shows that it is possible to live in the environment of sinners and yet be pure and holy.
Samuel lived a life of humility as he ministered unto the Lord before Eli. Eli was guiding him to minister the precious Word of the Lord.  Three times he had the call of his name, yet without grumbling, he kept coming to ask his master, Eli, whether he called him. God tested his patience and he passed. 

Thought for the day: When He calls me I will answer Him 

Song for the day: There is none holy as thy Lord……..

Bible reading for the day: Amos 1-3; Revolution 5

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
