The Field of Answers That Samuel Enjoyed

1 Samuel 7:1~15 The cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between
Israel and the Amorites. (14)

There are too many people who live according to their own benefits or gain. That’s why those who have realized God's calling and God-given mission are precious and rare. In addition, rather than vaguely thinking, “Someday in the distant future, circumstances will improve and answers will come,” they concentrate on the Word here and now. How can you stand in that line?

1. Samuel Who Guarded the Ark of the Covenant
For Hannah, who realized God's demands for the age, was given a son, Samuel. Just as Hannah had prayed and promised to God, young Samuel was sent to the temple for spiritual training. Samuel, who lied down next to the Ark of the Covenant, heard God's voice; was used for His work to prevent the disasters of the age; and saved not only the nation, but the entire world. A person like Hannah is needed in this day and age.

2. Samuel Who Raised David
Not only did Samuel find strength in the presence of God's Word, he also found and raised disciples. Samuel saw through the spiritual powerlessness of Saul, the king at the time, and sought out the disciple whom God had prepared. That person was David, and through him, the foundation for building the temple to house the Ark of the Covenant was laid. Furthermore, through David’s descendants, Jesus Christ, who would fulfill the covenant, was born.

God's earnest desire is to relay Jesus Christ, the only solution to life, to those who are heartbroken and diseased because they cannot meet Him. Through that one person who has embraced God’s desire; prays; and moves the heavenly throne, God will fulfill the covenant and move the age.

[Covenantal Prayer]
Dear God, may Jesus Christ, who completely solved the fundamental problems of life, become my Master. Please give me the grace to realize Your calling and the demands for this age. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

* What Are the Major Differences between Theory and Practice?

When you pray, Jesus promises that “it will be done for you,”John 15:7 He “will do it,”John 14:14 “will tell you great and hidden things,Jeremiah 33:2~3 work through angels “who do His Word,”Psalm 103:20 tells you that an angel will come and “offer the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne.”Revelation 8:3

Even if you know all these spiritual facts, if you don’t have even a minute of prayer within your 24 hours, those spiritual facts will become just theories. Instead of merely “knowing” about prayer in your head, you must set apart and give your time and do actual prayer.

Are you a person who simply “knows” or a person who puts what you know into “practice?”
