1 Samuel Chapter 2 Discussion Page 4

Surely, Hannah did not look at the waves coming from Phinehas. She succeeds and GOD grants her a child of her heart. Samuel was not just an ordinary child but a son. If we put total trust in GOD, HE will answer our prayers, and we will rejoice and praise GOD for what HE will have granted in our lives. Halleluiah�

1 Samuel 2:8-10 Principle illustrated: Man can accomplish great things with God�s strength. (((1))) Out of the dust, God raises the poor men and gives them their inheritance among princes. No man can overpower or even come remotely close to God�s strength. God, with his strength, will silence the wicked and anyone else who tries to disrupt his plan. God has recently shown me through godly influences around me and his precious word that I can succeed in anything when I realize how much I need his help. God has revealed to me that if I put little effort into something I will sow only that much but, if I give God my all, he will help me to succeed. He has given me an overabundance every time I give him my all. It took me a while to realize it but, God is my �All in All�, so why do I not always give him my all? Sometimes I tend to forget that I have to be faithful and do my part. I am so thankful that God is always faithful and does his part even when I do not deserve it.

Leaders should also be careful of their children as they can affect their ministry as demonstrated by Eli's sons. Even though Eli warned them but he could punish them.

The prayers of Hannah, sacrifies and the vow which she vowed and redeemed turn the haert of Elli's childreen against GOD.Becouse Samuel was going to be a priest.

Many people get the courage to pray but remember not to give thanks when they recieve.Hannah glorifies GOD and prophesies just like parents ought to do for their children.The shame of her barrenness was swept away and she rejoiced over her enemies.Imagine a person from the villages of the countryside sitting and dining with kings in Jerusalem.we need extraodinaly mov'ts inorder to get extraordinally miracles.

we are extremely privilege to be converted from sin, made believers & priest 1peter2:9. we carry GOD's presence & were made to offer daily sacrifice to HIM,so we ought to acknowledge this position & honor GOD in our lives.else we will be of little values before HIM.

I think God deliberately shut up Hannah's womb, so that she in turn would cry out to him for a child, who in turn would serve God. The timing was perfect, because God would destroy Eli's sons and replace them with Samuel.
