Today, we will continue from the storyline we started with yesterday; the story of Prophet Samuel, learning from his birth.

Despite one of his wives being barren, Elkanah never gave up on God. On a yearly basis, he would go up to offer sacrifices to God and seek His face.

3 Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests of the Lord. 4 On the day when Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. 5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the Lord had closed her womb. – 1 Sam 1:3-5 [ESV]

The lesson here is that despite what you are going through, never give up on God. The promises of God are yes and amen.

2 Cor 1:20[NKJV] For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

Though it may take a while, keep your faith high.

What had God promised you? It will come to pass.

Don’t begin to throw tantrums at your parents, siblings, classmates, and everyone around you because what you are believing God for has not yet happened.

Maintain a positive attitude and you will see the salvation of the Lord your God.

God bless you.

Prayer:
Oh Lord, help me to stay faithful to you. Amen

Action Point:
Study the story of Samuel.

Declaration:
I will not give up on God.
