  • OLUWASEUN OLUGUNNA on 1 Samuel 1 - 12 years ago
    I realized that Confession by mouth is very important.Though there is a saying that says: God knows the heart but u still have to confess with your mouth what you actually needed. Hannah confessed with her mouth what she needed has God harkened to her request 1Sam 1:11.More so, making vow to back up your request is another important thing though it does not mean God will not answer your prayers if you do not back it up with vow.Hannah backed her request with vow and God harkened to her request. 1 Sam 1:11.
    Another important thing is that one must be slow to anger. Hannah was not provoked when Prophet Eli told her for how long will she continue to drink but she responded saying she did not drink but rather she is pouring out her mind to God. 1 Sam 1: 14-17. Moreover, Faith is another lesson learnt. After Hannah had prayed to God and Eli told her to go in peace, she went and in peace and do away with every sorrow in her heart this shows she had faith that God has done what she requested for. 1 Sam 1:18.

    Fulfillment of vow is another keyword. After Hannah gave birth to Samuel she did not forget to fulfill vow unlike others that will say God has done it and they will not go back to fulfill the vow they made with God.
