Many Blessings. Might the Lord Jehovah reign and His Beautiful Spirit flood your lives with an abundance of peace, joy, and contentment. He is the El-Shaddai of the widow who gave her mite in the might of her adoration. He is the Lover of our souls. Will you love him back with a simple unfailing agape love? Will you love Him like Hannah, a Old Testament foreshadowing of Christ's mother. Who sought so that her barren womb be opened that she promised the Lord her son, if he would give her one. And, that he did. She experienced nine months of pregnancy, labor, and the toils of caring for an infant until he was weaned before she physically gave the priest Eli her son for service in the temple and in His Kingdom.
For those of you who have foolishly prayed for a multi-million dollar lottery windfall, would you hand your congregation's shepherd the gambling purse? Truth be told, wealth obtained through sinful means such as casting lots, which is witchcraft, prostitution, deception and theft, or etcetera should not be a offering the one gives the Lord. Doing so, only promotes sin. Which counters the purpose of financially supporting His Kingdom.
But, could you pray for blessing that would bring struggle, pain, and hard work in the process of its realization and, then, simply give is back. Do you so dearly desire holding any this life's gifts for just a brief moment that you would experience such travail and back-gift it.
Samuel was a "special" regifting in the Old Testament. Could you take what the Lord has given you in terms of talent and use it for the growth of His Kingdom. Although, you might not flourish monetarily and road trod might be rough and stony. And, although reward might not come in this lifetime.
Hannah was quite a "special" Old Testament mother. Who loved her son so that she would place him in the Lord's Courts for service in His Kingdom at a young age.
