TOPIC: PRESENT AND DEDICATE YOUR CHILDREN TO GOD
TEXT: 1 SAMUEL 1:9-19, 26-28.
9. So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
10. 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.
12. And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
13. Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
14. And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
15. And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
16. Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
17. Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
18. And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
19. And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
26. And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
27. For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
28. Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
KEY VERSE: 2 TIMOTHY 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that is in thee also.
Can you give your child to Him? Can you work on that child and present to the Lord? If you do not have a child, can you believe God for one, so that you will give God for end-time revival! Can you train one for God? If the world will delay for ten more years, your children should play a gospel part in this world.
If the world should delay for twenty years or even thirty more years, that your child should have the opportunity to be mature to do exploits for God!. Holiness must spread. The mouth of your child shall contribute to it. Your child shall write anointed books. Your child shall sing songs of salvation. This should be your commitment.
You are going to make a commitment to God, thus, “Lord, my child shall serve you well.” For you that do not have a child and have passed the age of childbearing or you do not even have a husband, you will tell God thus, “Lord, can you by your mercy, bring a child my way?
It may be someone's child, but I want to raise the child up for you. Let me raise up somebody that will contribute to the revival of the world.” Amen. If you can pray, the Lord will surprise you. Learn from Mary: she was not a careless woman! She was a zealous, godly, holy, passionate and compassionate woman.
She was a woman that identified with God concerning the sins of this life; she cried along with God. When the Lord was crying on the cross, she was also crying by the side of the cross for the salvation of the world. And this woman produced children that worked for the salvation of the world. Let your children contribute to the salvation of humanity!
Thought for the day: It is never late to dedicate or rededicate that your child to Jesus for the end-time gospel.
Song for the day: Handing over (5x) everything to God.
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 12-14
