THE CONTRARY

 1 Samuel 2:1-10

HANNAH'S PRAYER

Hannah, a barren woman prayed onto God and He answered in His time. She made a vow to dedicate the child to God and she fulfilled it, she sent the child; Samuel, to serve the house of God. 

What is your state in the face of troubles? Are you heartbroken? Are you discouraged? Are you in doubts? Does God seem powerless? Does the devil whisper weakening words to you and do you open your spirit to it?

Normally, you are expected to grief in times of troubles, fear and panic should take over and then you are expected to word defeat and give in to temptation. 

But!

When you do the contrary, the devil is confused.

Rubber is expected to melt when exposed to fire but when it doesn't; it becomes a mystery. And more and more fire would be exposed to it till a conclusion is made.

Why should you rejoice in times of troubles, that is healthy for you and that is how you can survive. Does troubles prove the non-existence of God? Does night prove that the sun has cooled down? Does rain mean the sun has flooded?

If God be God! If He still sits on His throne and wileds power then every situation can be turned around. 

Let your reaction to troubles draw God closer to you. Don't magnify your problems! Magnify God, for He is above all things. This is exactly what Hannah did in Samuel 2:1-10

FADE AWAY

 You only notice the beauty of the sky when your surroundings are dark. When was the last time you admired the stars in the sky? When was the last time you saw a full moon? I'm positive that you hardly pay attention to them because other things have your attention. Sometimes you don't notice how lucky you are, because you are surrounded by problems; you prefer to see the problems than your privileges. Problems are very destructive, they blind you even in the face of solutions. Try it, assess the privileges you enjoy and let the problems fade away  for a while.

WHY WORRY

-
Inspiration from the following bible verses John 14:1 "Do not be worried and upset," Believe" in God and believe also in me. John 14:27 "Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid. John 16: "I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world!" Why worry? It looks like the easiest thing to do when there is no solution. Why not worry? It doesn't solve the problem.I use to worry about everything. From my body to other people's problems. It just seemed natural to me, I felt worrying only meant that I cared a lot. I worried about things I had no control over and that was very stressful.Worrying doesn't just drain you of your energy, it brings about fear and panic and deprives you of peace.Is worrying a solution? No! Does worrying provide a solution?

GENESIS 18: 1-15 The Three Visitor she LORD appeared unto Abraham. After reading, kindly note these;He was at the right place. He was sensitive. He was generous,He was favoured in the sight of the visitors He had faith. Abraham was sensitive enough to know who they were, (3 in number) he offered them water to wash their feet, a place of rest and food. After the feast, the LORD prophesied the birth of Isaac, Sarah doubted it, shouldn't that have angered the LORD? Doubt hinders the fulfilment of prophecies. Abraham believed in the LORD, presumably his faith was strong enough to receive the word from the LORD. Note this, the three visitors were on their way to visit Sodom and Gomorah, to destroy them; for their sins had angered the LORD. On His way to destroy a city. He blessed one who had found favour in His sight. Mind you, Lot and his family lived in the same city destined for doom. What was to become of Abraham's nephew? He had settled in a wrong place, was he to be spare
