Hannah Praying

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London. 

*Hannah Praying* 

The lives of biblical figures challenge us to emulate their prayerful lifestyle. Their stories inspire us to persevere in prayer, trusting in God's ability to work through our petitions.

Hannah, barren and sorrowful, cried out to the Lord. Her heart ached for a child, and she sought comfort in prayer. Though loved by her husband Elkanah and devoted to the Lord, her womb remained closed. Peninnah, her rival wife, mocked her, adding to her pain.

She sought ADONAI'S intervention, promising to dedicate her future child to THE LORD’S service. Her prayer was heartfelt, passionate, and filled with both anguish and hope.

Moved by Hannah's heartfelt plea, God answered her prayer. She conceived and gave birth to a son, whom she named Samuel. True to her promise, she dedicated Samuel to the LORD’S service, entrusting him to the care of the high priest, Eli.

Hannah's life and prayer serves as an inspiration for the church today in many ways.....
 * Persistence in prayer: Hannah did not give up, even in the face of disappointment and adversity.
 * Honoring God's promises: She kept her vow to dedicate her son to the Lord.
 * Trusting in God's timing: Hannah waited patiently for God's answer to her prayer.
 * Surrendering to God's will: She willingly gave up her son for God's service.

Our prayer can’t just be a part of our lives, but it must be everything in our lives! Amen. 

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏 
Shalom. 🙏🙏
Have a Good weekend. 
In His Grip...🙏🙏🙏

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
