Deuteronomy 7, Deuteronomy 8, Deuteronomy 9, 2 Corinthians 8, 2 Corinthians 9
Samuel 2:1-11
Psalms 30:5 - ```"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."```
God still turns His children's captivity around like a dream.
Yesterday, we learnt that God specialises in moving His children from mockery to miracle. It does not matter whether the challenge a child of God is facing is from God or satan. It was God that shut Hannah's womb. She clung to the same God in faith and prayer. He graciously visited Hannah and moved her from mockery to miracle. I pray that as Hannah did not die a barren and Naaman did not die a leper, you will not die with that challenge, in the name of Jesus.
Why does God move people from mockery to miracle? First, He does so to demonstrate His faithfulness. He is the prayer-answering God. He said, "Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you and you will glorify my name (Psalm 50:15). He answered Hannah's cry; He will answer yours too! Second, He does so to display His miracle-working power and almightiness. In opening Hannah's womb, God proved to all (believers and unbelievers) that all power belongs to Him and that nothing is impossible with Him. Third, He does so to show forth His glory among the unbelievers and to win them. The Bible says that unless people see signs, they would not believe (John 4:48). Naaman praised and worshipped the God of Israel when he received his miraculous cleansing.
Beloved, here are some steps you should take if you want God to move you from mockery to miracle. (1) Be born again. That is where your change begins. You must have a good relationship with God. Hannah was God's humble servant and true worshipper in spite of her challenge. (2) Be a prayer warrior. Prayer changes things positively. It will bring the power of God to bear in your situation. Hannah was a prayer warrior. She prayed her way to breakthrough. You should do the same. (3) Have an unwavering faith. Hannah kept going to Shiloh year in year out, praying to God and believing Him for her miracle. (4) Be broken and persistent. Brokenness will make you tolerant, patient and disciplined. Hannah's brokenness made her not to miss the blessing that Eli released to her life. (5) Make a vow to God and keep it.
I encourage you to deploy all those keys that Hannah used and God will graciously move you from mockery to miracle, in Jesus' name.
