UNBORN SAMUELS: PRESSING THROUGH FOR OUR ULTIMATE DESTINY

What a wonderful time we had on Sunday at Bethesda Empowerment Center. You have to be there to experience it. Unfortunately I cannot post on line the anointing and the presence of the Lord that was so manifest in the meeting. However here is a snapshot of what the Lord was teaching us from 1 Samuel 1:1-20:

  1. We can choose to accept the status quo and give in to the “business as usual” or we can decide to press for God’s ultimate Destiny for our lives.
  2. The greatest enemy to our destiny is comfort and those friends and loved ones who would like to encourage and comforts us to settle where we are
  3. The Peninah's in our lives; poor pay, harsh, unfair, unappreciative and unconsiderate bosses, unhealthy and poor working conditions, deteriorating relationships,unfulfilled dreams, betrayal, unsuccessful careers etc are meant to make us uncomfortable in our bareness and unfruitfulness and so that we may seek the Lord for our ultimate destiny.
  4. During the times of dryness, barrenness and unfruifulness and when people and situations provoke us like Peninah did to Hannah, we have a choice to become bitter or better
  5. Some things and situations can only be changed through prayer and fasting; sorry, NO SHORT CUT.
  6. OUR LACK OF AGGRESSIVENESS IN PRAYER NOT ONLY DENIES US OF OUR OWN DESTINY BUT MANY OTHERS WHOSE DESTINY IS DEPENDENT ON US.
  7. Watch out, there are many unborn Samuels (Prophets, Priest and Kings) waiting for you and me to get tired of our status quo, begin to pray and fast and see what God will do.
All your prayers and support greatly appreciated.
