MFM Daily Devotional 28 March 2022 MESSAGE
One last lesson that we need to learn from Hannah is that of thanksgiving. She worshipped, praised and magnified God who turned her mourning to dancing as well as her shame to honour. She had the right response: genuine gratitude.
The wordings of her song of praise and thanksgiving (1 Samuel 2:1-10) reveal the nature of battle she had fought and how marvellous God had been in fighting for her.
Beloved, I encourage you to make giving thanks, praise and worship to God a daily habit. You will receive more blessings from God. It is important to note that after Hannah had given God quality thanks and had given Samuel back to God to minister to Him as she had vowed, God bless her even more.
1 Samuel 2:18-21 underscores this, “But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod. Moreover, his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD.
And they went unto their own home. And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD” Beloved, note that Hannah expressed her deep and sincere gratitude to God in her prayer, worship and praise. She was thankful for one son and God gave her three sons and two daughters more. God wiped off her tears, silenced her mockers and turned her sorrow to joy.
Are you trusting God for a marital breakthrough, fruit of the womb or something else? Declare a season of thanksgiving and praise to God. Do not stop until you have the assurance that your |I also want you to note that Hannah did not abandon God, the house of God where her prayer was answered nor God’s priest, Eli. In 1 Samuel 1:17, Eli said, “Go in peace and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.”
Immediately after this the Bible affirms that Elkannah knew Hannah and God remembered her: It was the same Priest Eli who blessed the couple and Hannah Conceived and had five more children. Beloved, believe God and you will be established; believe His prophet and you will prosper (2 Chronicles 20:20)
