You will Overtake Them All

Date: Monday, 25^th March, 2024

Text: 1 Samuel 2:1-5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

In the realm of the overtaking is allowed. The fact that someone has gone ahead of you does not signify that God has forgotten you. Many times we compare our lives with those of others; we complain, “My mates have achieved this, my colleagues have achieved that.” Each person’s timing is different. Just as our faces are different so are our timings.

Peninnah, Elkanah’s second wife got her children before Hannah. It seemed all hopes were lost. Though, she cried to God every year, it seemed her Heaven was closed. When the time came for her to be favoured of God, the Spirit of God inspired her to make a vow that changed her story forever.

Though Peninnah’s children were older in age but nobody knew them as they made no  spiritual impact in the history of Israel. Hannah’s son, Samuel, though came much later, carried a glory that has lasted for all time.

Are you experiencing any delay at the moment, and you have prayed and prayed and it seems nothing is happening? Worry not! God has not forgotten you.

God asked, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me- Isaiah 49:14-16.

Your time is here! Your Samuel will come and you will overtake them all in Jesus name!

Prayer Nugget: Father, I ask for the grace to keep trusting in you until my Samuel comes in Jesus name.
