As we read we see, the genealogy of Elkanah and his family. Hannah’s prayer for a son. The son Samuel is weaned, Hannah presents him to the Lord. “25 Then they slaughtered the bull, and they brought the child to Eli. 26 And she said, “Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the Lord. 27 For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him. 28 Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord.”” I Samuel 1:25-28, English Standard Version (ESV). When we earnestly ask God for anything in his will and he gives it to us, remember to fulfill your vows. 40 Days of Prayer # 5 Prayer Devotional By Pastor Glen Aycock “Day 5- 40 days of Prayer Devotional By Pastor Glen Aycock Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11-13 11 I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. 12 “When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I’ll listen. 13 “When you come looking for me, you’ll find me.”Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, 14  I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” Today’s devotional thought focuses on His promise for a nation if it returns to following God in a serious way. This is what these crucial days of prayer as a nation of God believers are all about. God is into restoration and promises to do that if we ask and our actions line up to testify of our hearts validity. Look at the content of this promise: God has plans to take care of you. God will not abandon you. God has plans for your future God has promised that when we pray He will listen. God has promised that when we come looking for Him, we will find him. God demands we want it more than anything else, we will not be disappointed. We have the word of God and the conditions for our prayers to be answered. We need leaders in our government that will return to the Godly principles that are at the roots of the birth of our nation. There is another scripture that says “blessed in the nation whose God is the Lord”. Pray for the upcoming election and vote not by political loyalty but by God inspired loyalty and faith, and prayer. Serving and living for God is never outdated. Let reclaim our national loyalty to God. Pray, seek. Look and listen to God. Prayer Thought: Dear Jesus: As believers and followers of Christ we pray and claim your promises to take care of us. In return for this mercy we promise to live for you and depend on you. We accept your plans for our future. We look forward to a revival that will move through our nation evidenced by a return to principles of a Godly nation. We thank you in advance and desire this restoration with all our heart. In Jesus name, Amen.” Day 5 already? Time goes fast when we pray for our God’s will to be done. Dare to keep the first thing first! That is salvation through the blood of the lamb, Jesus. “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.” Proverbs 29:25 ESV. Continue to join us in sharing His love. You’ll find the request for prayer athttp://www.admenu.com/am/praise.html.

The Feast Tue, October 2, 2012, I Samuel, – “Elkanah and his family. (1-8) Hannah’s prayer. (9-18) Samuel, Hannah presents him to the Lord. (19-28)” – Matthew Henry Concise 1 Samuel an Overview; “In this book we have an account of Eli, and the wickedness of his sons; also of Samuel, his character and actions. Then of the advancement of Saul to be the king of Israel, and his ill behaviour, until his death made way for David’s succession to the throne, who was an eminent type of Christ. David’s patience, modesty, constancy, persecution by open enemies and feigned friends, are a pattern and example to the church, and to every member of it. Many things in this book encourage the faith, hope, and patience of the suffering believer. It contains also many useful cautions and awful warnings.” – Matthew Henry Concise God Bless you, Brother Mike http://www.admenu.com http://admenu.wordpress.com Tags: jesus, love, hope, care, god, holy, ghost, save, help “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
