svc message
1 sam 1:1-6
There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite [
a] from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. 2 He had two wives; one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
3 Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the LORD Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the LORD. 4 Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters. 5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the LORD had closed her womb. 6 And because the LORD had closed her womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her.
1) Hennah was dedicated to god(1st sam 1:7)
This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat
2) hannah was dedicated to her husband.(although her marriage was not perfect,she work on it and soon she change her husband attitude)
(1 sam 1:19)
Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah lay with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.(couple that prays together,stay together).
3)Hannah was dedicated to her child.
(god answered her prayer after several of times she pray.she gave birth to a son samuel.)
(1sam3:1)
The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions.samuel learnt from hennah how to worship love ,spending time with god praying........
