1 Samuel 1:10-19:

10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore.

11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli marked her mouth.

13 Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunk.

14 And Eli said unto her, How long will thou be drunk? put away thy wine from thee.

15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord.

16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

… That will be the Testimony of someone from now on, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the Lord remembered her.

The Lord will remember you today or as you read on the Label of DMC – Amen.

You are the next in the Line for a Miracle – Amen.

I want you to say to yourself: I AM THE NEXT IN THE LINE!

This Particular Story, reminds us of what goes on in several lives and several families.

But we would be looking at the situation in the life of this woman (Hannah) from Three (3) Perspectives;

1. We will look at the PRELUDE – That is, what had gone before the Story.
2. Then we will look at the Story itself – The Story Proper;
3. And then we look at the CONCLUSION.

… And after that, we will Pray!

And I am sure that even as you are listening to us today and reading now on the Label of DMC; the God of Heaven and Earth will begin to work in your situation, in the Name of the Lord Jesus – Amen.

1. THE PRELUDE

This woman (Hannah) when she got married, she got married with a lot of anticipate and Hope. She had vision for her life. She knew without any doubts, that she was going to have children

And then, the waiting began! She waited for the First Year, for the Second Year, until she became troubled in her Soul – Just like several other People!

When People are getting married, they get married with a lot of anticipation; with a lot of hope. With high Vision.

In fact, they set Goals for their future based upon the number of children God will give to them.

In fact, some People, they would have even determined the kind of children they are going to have.

They would have determined the gender of the children they are going to have.

They would have even determined may be their Profession.

Some of them would have even said: Oh Lord, if You give me Children – This one will be an Evangelist. Oh this one will be a Man of God. This one will be an Architect.

Different kinds of things that People have in Mind even before they get married.

But this woman got married, and the Story was another thing entirely.

When you check the Bible, you would see several other People who had the same experience;

In Genesis 29:20 we find this Passage that says: And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

Jacob served seven (7) years, and it was as if it was nothing to him because he loved Rachel with all his heart.

… That was what had happened before, until something else happened later.

So he (Jacob) came into this Particular marriage knowing fully well: I am getting married to the Love of my Life.

In fact, after serving for seven (7) years, and discovered that he was not given the wife that he served for; he served for yet another seven (7) Years. To let us know the extent of his love.

… That was the Prelude!

Something else happened in Luke 1:5-6; There was in the days of Herod – Tthe king of Judaea, a certain Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both Righteous before God, walking in all the Commandments and Ordinances of the Lord blameless.

… That was the Prelude!

2. THE STORY ITSELF.

Theee were People – Both of them were from the family of Priest. They got married with high hopes. The Bible says categorically, they were blameless.

“They were walking in all the Commandments and Ordinances of the Lord blameless.”

They were serving the Lord to the best of their knowledge. They were doing all that they were supposed to do.

Infact, People would have looked at them when they got married and say: “Oh what a model Family this is!”

But then, the Story was a different one after some time.

And from that moment onwards, the woman knew – Ha! Something has happened. She knew “I have met with the Lord.” She knew: “At last, God has answered my Prayer.”

You remembered the Story of Sarah.

When the Almighty God visited the house of Abraham and the Almighty asked him: “Where is Sarah your wife?” And Sarah laughed!

And God said, Oh Sarah you are laughing? From now, you will continue to Laugh. Because the child you will have will be called Laugher.

That is the reason why the name of that child was called Isaac.

Someone who is here today and those reading now on the Label of DMC; you will have your own Isaac very soon, in the Name of Jesus- Amen.

Why was Sarah Laughing?

Because her Story showed Old age, long time (twenty five years) of Waiting. She was carrying the Promise of God.

God had already spoken to Abraham, the husband “through you I am going to bless the whole Earth. You will be a Blessing”.

Year in Year out, the same thing was happening – Just waiting, just expecting.

And so on that Particular day, knowing that even Abraham was already Old. Not just Old, but very Old. And that she also was very Old and she was no more having her Monthly Flow (what Women use to have) she laughed!

She had every reason to laugh! But she did not know: “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”

There is no situation that my God cannot reverse!

Whatever your situation may be, the Living God will reverse it today – Amen.

You will have a Good News after this Programme, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

So what is the Conclusion concerning Hannah?

The Conclusion was very Simple! The Bible says categorically “The Lord remembered her.”

And the Lord will remember “YOU” – Amen.

The Woman (Hannah) made a Vow on that day – She said unto the Lord: O LORD, I have waited for so long; I don’t want to have an Ordinary Child. I want to have a Great Child.

“And I am Promising you Oh LORD, if you give me this Particular Child; this Child will be a Priest unto You. This Child will serve You all the days of his Life.”

And I believe that this is very important for those of.us who are here today or reading now on the Label of DMC.

And may I tell you this:

God is looking for Children who will be for Signs and for Wonders.

God is looking for Children who will be Models in their Generation.

God is looking for Children who will Shine as Lights in the midst of Darkness.

God is looking for Children who would be Trained in the Ways of the Lord.

God is looking for Children who will not follow after the Ways of the World.

• Who would not be controlled by the Spirit of the Community;
• The Spirit of Greed and Corruption

God is looking for Children who will make a Difference in this Particular world in which we are!

And I believe God has selected you to be the Bearers of such children – AMEN.

So when it is time for Prayer, I want you to Pray the same Prayers that Hannah Prayed:

Oh LORD, the child that You are going to give unto me, I am going to return back unto You. And I will Train him, I will Train her in the Ways of the Lord.

I will make sure that this will be the child that will carry Your Light and Shine Your Light to the world.

Many of us when we have a Child; after waiting on the Lord for several Years; the child would become a ‘god’ to us. The child will the kind of Person Nobody can touch, Nobody can even discipline.

And at the end of the day, the child will become a ‘Spoilt Child.’ That even God will look down from Heaven and say, why did I give this Fellow this child?

… That must not be your lot!

Look at a Woman like Hannah – A woman who had no child. And she was was going to have one (1). She wasn’t asking for two (2); she was going to have one (1).

And she is saying LORD, You need a Priest, give me a son. I will give You the only one that I have.

That was a Great Promise! That was a Great Desire.

She wasn’t asking for two (2) she was asking for only one (1). And she was saying, whatever it will cost, I will make sure that child will serve You all the days of his Life. And that was exactly what she did!

… That must be your desire today!

And for every one of us who may have that kind of desire; within one (1) Year, you will come back to this Camp Ground with your own child – Amen.

But listen to this very well – You know, when Hannah came to the Lord, she was a Woman who had already given her heart unto the Lord entirely.

The kind of a Woman who would make this kind of Vow must be Someone whose heart has been delivered to God entirely.

Hannah was a Woman who loved the Lord Passionately with all her heart; a Woman who would not hide her Life from God; a Woman who had opened her heart unto the God of Heaven.

That’s the reason why God answered her.

You want God to answer you today? You must make up your Mind that entirely, you are going to hand over your Life unto Him.

Just coming to Him because you want a child is not enough. Because, the kind of Miracle that God is going to give to you;

Like Jesus told that Woman who came to Him and said Oh LORD, deliver my daughter.

And God said, what I will give to My children, I cannot give to a dog because that’s what you are! – Matthew 15:26

But I tell you, if you make up your Mind today, that you are going to hand over your Life entirely to Jesus Christ; If you open your heart unto Him today, that He can have the rest of your Life.

I can assure you that just as He answered Hannah, He will also answer you. And you too shall become a Testimony – Amen.

Shall we Rise on our feet wherever you are (whether you are here in the Campground or reading now on the Label of DMC) for Prayers at this Particular time?

ALTAR CALL

Everyone who has made up His Mind that, this is the day I have been waiting for; I will not allow this day to Pass me by. I am going to hand over my Life to the Lord Jesus.

Please, wherever you are, you need to come to the Lord at this time. Surrender your Life Now! Make up your Mind, this Particular Shiloh Hour (March 2022) will be different for me. It will not be like other Shiloh Hour.

Handover your Life to Jesus Christ today and let Him do with you what He alone can do.

God bless you as you decide today!

We want to Pray. Just like Hannah cried unto the Lord; we also want to cry our hearts unto the Lord today.

This is the beginning of a New Future for you. Because from this Particular Program, you will be able to say Categorically: everything Changed after today’s Shiloh Hour.

Thank You Heavenly Father! Blessed be Your Name!

PRAYER POINTS

I want us to close your eyes wherever we are (before we Pray for Salvation) and cry to the Lord and say:

1. Heavenly Father, I am here today because of You, I am here just like Hannah, hear my cry.

… Pray to the Lord!

Thank You Heavenly Father! Blessed be Your Name. In Jesus’Mighty Name we Pray – Amen.

2. One more Prayer that you are going to Pray. You will say: Heavenly Father, turn me to a Testimony.

Turn my bitterness into Joy, as You turned Hannah’s to Joy and she became a Testimony.

Oh God of my Salvation, turn me to a Testimony also.

… Call upon the Lord!

Thank You Heavenly Father! Blessed be Your Name. In Jesus’ Mighty Name we Pray – Amen.

….Let your Amen be louder – AMEN!

OFFERING

The Next Thing we want to do is to give our Offering.

Because after we have given our Offering, we would be able to Pray one (1) more Prayer that we need to Pray. And then we will be our way.

I want you to know that even as you are here at this Point in Time, Daddy G.O is also Praying and Interceding for us.

And so for everything that you are going to ask God in this Shiloh Hour, I can assure you: it doesn’t matter how Complex your situation may be, it will become a Miracle – Amen.

I want you to begin to show to God from this moment that – From now on, I will give You my very Best!

… Right now we will be listening to the Choir even as they lead us in Praise and Worship.

And so shall it be for you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

SPECIAL PRAYERS FOR THOSE TRUSTING GOD FOR FRUIY OF WOMB.

Now, it is time for you to call upon the Almighty God for yourself. And the opportunity is given to us to come to the Altar at this time.

You remember very well, that on that Particular day, Hannah cried to the Lord – She told the Lord exactly what she wanted.

In fact, Prophet Eli did not ask her – “What did you ask for?” It was between her and God.

I know that there is something in your heart that is between you and God, that you want to ask Him.

Just go ahead at this time and ask Him what exactly you want from Him.

… Cry unto Him!

Thank You Heavenly Father! Blessed be Your Name. In Jesus’ Mighty Name we Pray – Amen.

In every areas of their lives where there has been barrenness and dryness, Father, put an end to it in the Name of Jesus.

Remove complaints and put your consolation in the lives of everyone, in the Name of Jesus.

And everyone shall return with Mighty Testimonies.
