*HANNAH'S APPROACH*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  21 July 2023*


SCRIPTURE: Wherefore it came to Pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD - *1 Samuel 1:20*


Every Story in the Scriptures happened for our example and is written for our admonition - *1 Corinthians 10:11*


*Careful Study of some Persons in the Bible will enlighten us on what to do to commit God to answer our Prayers.*


1. One of such Persons is Hannah. 


There are certain Uncommon Things she did that committed God to give her an Uncommon Answer.


*Let us take a look at her approach:*


*(1)* She rose up - *1 Samuel 1:9*


*In the midst of her challenges, she rose up.* 


This means she got up, she advanced. She refused to allow her challenges to keep her down, she advanced in spite of her challenges.


*This is important because nothing works unless we work it.*


The Bible says, work out your Salvation with fear and trembling - *Philippians 2:12*


*(2)* She was alone in the Temple.


She may not have been lonely, but she was alone in the Temple. 


*If you need God's attention, He either comes to you or you go to Him.*


The Temple is the House of God. 


Hannah was in the Temple to see God and she was alone with Him Pouring out her Soul before Him - *1 Samuel 1:15*


She avoided all distractions.


*(3)* She Prayed from her heart - *1 Samuel 1:13*


*Heaven responds to every "Hearty Prayer"* 


The Bible says, the effectual fervent Prayer of a Righteous Man availeth much - *James 5:16*


*(4)* She vowed a Vow - *1 Samuel 1:11*


She vowed to meet a Need in God's Kingdom. 


Eli the Prophet was old, his children could not take over from him because they didn't know God. 


*Hannah vowed to Provide a Successor to Eli, so that God's Kingdom will not suffer a vacuum.*


*(5)* She believed the Prophet.


*Eli blessed her and she believed his Pronouncement and her countenance was no more sad.*


The Bible says, believe in the Lord your God so shall ye be established, believe his Prophet so shall ye Prosper - *2 Chronicles 20:20*


*Adopting Hannah's Approach, we will conceive and bear our own Miracle as recorded in our Anchor Text .*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please help me to follow Your Word Precept upon Precept and Line upon Line.

Wisdom is a critical requirement for profitable life in time and in eternity.  ●Ecclesiastes 10:10 makes it clear that wisdom is profitable to direct.  ●So, it is not possible to experience a profitable life in this world and in the world to come without wisdom. This means, the absence of wisdom is the abundance of losses, losses in this life and in the life to come. People lose where wisdom is lacking. People even lose their souls in eternity in hellfire because they did not apply their hearts to wisdom on the earth. A profitable

Jacob also Struggled with Laban, his Uncle. Jacob Struggled with God - *Genesis 32:24-30* *Though Jacob enjoyed Enlargement, his Life was full of Troubles, Pain, Stress, Fear, Depression and the likes.* The conversation between Jacob and Pharaoh
