Subject:Transformation 16 Blessings- our children & their families.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today, I want to share a personal testimony and focus our prayers on the blessings over our children and their families.
For a long time, I resisted engaging in full-time Christian ministry because I was afraid of poverty and doubted my ability to give my kids a good life.
Yet, God used dramatic circumstances to conscript me into His workforce.
When I finally yielded, He instructed me to trust Him with my children and reassured me with His Word that He would train them and grant them great peace (see Isaiah 54:13). And He has never failed.
Now, my children are grown with families of their own, and I continue to witness His faithfulness in the next generation.
This brings to mind the story of the prophet Samuel.
Samuel was the answer to Hannah’s fervent prayer for a male child (1 Samuel 1:9-28).
To fulfill her vows to God, Hannah dedicated Samuel to serve in God’s full-time ministry under Eli (1 Samuel 1:21-28).
As a young boy, Samuel became God’s chosen successor to Eli when Eli’s own righteousness faltered (1 Samuel 2:27-4:22).
Although Samuel, like all of us, faced challenges, today’s focus is on how God made him great among his peers.
