Listened to another awesome sermon by Ps Chris Hill last night! I really thank God for such wise people who just know God so well and have such a deep understanding of the Bible and deep relationship with God. Just through 5 verses about Hannah praying to God in the temple in 1 Samuel 1, such a powerful teaching was taught and brought across. On my own, i could have read the same thing hundreds of times and most probably not even get a revelation close to what they have gotten. Just listening to him preach gave me such a weird feeling in my stomach that it felt like it was gonna explode! It was like eating so much till your so full!!
Main lessons leant, was that there will always be provokers(Penninah) in our life, but we should be thankful to God for such people, because people like them will only spur us on even more and help us to press even harder into the presence of God. Another reason is that the seed/promise is always connected to the provoker!! Hannah wasnted a baby really badly, and the seed was in her husband Elkanah, who was also connected to her provoker Penninah! The very thing Hannah wanted was connected to her provoker! Is the same thing happening with us?? Lastly when Hannah first started seeking God, she had 'Divine Frustration'. Which was that she had a purpose in her life, she knew she had a call over her life and that God had great plans for her. But she was not seeing them!
Divine Frustration: knowing and thanking God for all the promises over our life, but not knowing when it's gonna come and not seeing any improvements.(can be really really frustrating!!)
Have we ever had a 'Hannah' moment?
Gotta break through that invisible ceiling in our faith to reach to greater heights!
