Hi people can you see how many days left???? haha.. 15 man!! Oh well.
Today Rev Tang Spoke on prayer quoting hannah in 1 sam 1:9-18
1 Samuel 1:9-18 (New King James Version)
9So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle[a] of the LORD. 10And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish. 11Then she made a vow and said, “O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.”
12And it happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli watched her mouth. 13Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!”
15But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. 16Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman,[b] for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.”
17Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.”
18And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
And basically said to:
Pray with humbleness
Pray with persistence
Pray with faith
Also.. he mentioned that she kept her vow that the male child would be a nazerite and would be dedicated to God.
Then i was thinking in order to do all this, maybe we shld start praying for a start. haha… For the guy’s in daniel’s class, we all know whats this “spiritual taxes” we must give. Ha.. okay la, sounds bad but.. its like we all sponge off pastor and sunday sch and ppl to teach us… but have we prayed for them? Prayer is the “price” of this service we recieve, prayer is the service tax above out tithes and offerings.. you could even say it is much more important than what goes into the offering bags.
On another note, this place being a “mind dump” is something i hope it not to be. Just an expression of my mood… feelings and all… nono. No way. If i am going to express my mood and feelings, i shall do it in a manner beneficial to my testimony and my life, and the way people perceive me.
Anyway, out of interest and entertainment… i decided to put together an anthology of verses to do with fools.
