The account of Samuel’s birth gives us an insight into a rivalry in the house of Elkanah, (interestingly means ‘God has purchased’). His wife, ‘Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none’. So Peninnah taunted Hannah, ‘year after year’ when they went up to worship the Lord at Shiloh. Hannah was heartbroken at her lack of children, but the Bible says ‘God had closed her womb’. Hannah suffered deeply and for a long period of time, but then in her desperation she was moved to take the matter to the Lord.
9 ONCE when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up… 10 In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. 11 And she made a vow, saying, ‘Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, (Heartfelt Prayer to God) and not forget your servant but give her a son, (Spehcific Request) THEN I WILL GIVE HIM TO THE LORD ALL THE DAYS OF HIS LIFE, (A Lifelong commitment, she’d never have him back) then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.’ 1 Samuel 1
Hannah Gave Unconditionally that which she most longed for to God. She gave up all rights to her first born son, Samuel, perhaps Elkanah’s name, ‘God has purchased’ was prophetic for the situation. God needed to raise up a son at Shiloh, to restore purity of worship at the Tabernacle, for His people. Giving is not always about money, but there will be a cost to the Giver, however no one can out give God.
21 And the Lord was gracious to Hannah; she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord. 1 Samuel 2
The lazy man will not plow because of winter (The season NOW in the north); He will beg during harvest and have nothing. Proverbs 20:4
It’s foolish to expect a crop if we haven’t put any seed into the ground and as we said at the beginning, we’ll harvest where we sow.
I’ve shared before that I sent a gift to my late brother Kjell from Sweden after he ministered in N.Ireland. This opened a door for me to travel to the nations with Prophetic Prayer Teams. The Lord also provided a job in this season with annual leave to make the trips. God is faithful if we’ll do our part.
