0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.

0:47 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this solution of the Fuel for the Soul with John gift the podcast. All through this week, we're looking at various lessons that we can take away from the life of Hannah, predominantly revolving around First Samuel chapter one. See One of the things we talk about is how Hannah was really special. She was loud by her husband, who gave her special and double portion whenever they went to the place of worship to offer sacrifices. She had those special things. At the same time she struggled to have a child and today you may be in a place where there could be an area, or there could be some areas where you're still struggling to see any kind of a progress.

1:27 Speaker 2: You know, the other day I was thinking about this that maybe in some areas I have like a hundred out of hundred, or some areas are like a seventy five out of hundred. But there are some areas I feel they're just scratching the surface, like twenty out of hundred, or some could be as equivalent to zero out of hundred, you know what I mean. Like if you go to any school right or college, and you say, oh, I got hundred out of hundred in one sub day and I got zero out of hundred in the next, no one's going to accept you.

1:58 Speaker 2: You are still counted as a failure because you failed in the other You know what I mean. Today, you may be feeling like a failure. You may be feeling like your life is just in a very desperate state because though there are some good areas in your life, in some areas it is as equivalent to dead. That's what happened to Hannah. That's how my life feels like in certain areas. Yes, by the grace of God, I am in a good place in some areas, But at the same time, there are areas where it's as equivalent to dead, it's equal in to zero.

2:32 Speaker 2: And I'm praying God, when are you going to show up? When are you going to do America? How are you going to do it? Lord? You may be feeling like that. One of the things that I wanted to understand is that when Hannah was taunted, when Hannah was treated differently, when Hannah was triggered, what did she do? She cried to the Lord, she prayed to the Lord. And when she did that, okay, she emptied herself. And the Bible says that her fail was no longer downcast in one of the translations in verse eighteen, and if you see in the other one it says our face was radiant with joy.

3:08 Speaker 2: Another one it says a countenance changed. So I wanted you to understand how circumstance did not change, but God changed our inside. God brought that peace before our surrounding had any sense of peace. You know what I mean. God will always work on the inside. First. God will always prepare you on the inside. God will always keep you in the right place on the inside. Before he brings about a change on the outside. Right, don't be fooled because nothing is changing on the outside. Because when God has done the work on the inside, it's just getting it ready for the work on the outside to just happen.

3:50 Speaker 2: It can happen, because you know, the other day, I was thinking, God, I've been preparing. I've been spending so much time and investing into the ministry. I've been spending so many years into this. This is the fourteen tier in the running. And I'm like, God, after all of this, what is happening? Because last week was just my birthday and I was like, God, where is my life heading after this many years? And I mean I was just introspecting the lot was reminding me of this. Right, certain things are being built, Like imagine an airport.

4:22 Speaker 2: Right, the building is being constructed, the runway is being laid, the signboards are in place, so people are getting hired to work in the airport and all of that. Only then can the plane land. You get what I'm saying. The plane is not going to land till the airport is ready. Today you may feel like no plane is landing, no prayer is getting answered. All my prayers are just hitting a ceiling and nothing is happening. But I want you to understand the same way. The plane will land only after the airport is constructed, after the runway is ready and prepared.

5:00 Speaker 2: I want to tell you that your answer to your prayers will come at God's appoint in time, after God prepares the work behind the scenes. And here's the thing. After praying and she pours herself, empties herself, she goes back. When you look at verse nineteen, right, they worshiped the Lord, and then they went back to their home. Nothing changed, Everything was still the same. Okay, another year is done. But Elkanah made loud to his wife Hannah. And this time, you see, the Bible says, the Lord remembered her.

5:38 Speaker 2: The Lord remembered her. This is a word for some of you. Even if people forget you, even if other people are given up on certain areas of your life to ever improve, the Lord has not forgotten. The Lord remembered Hannah. And when the Lord remembers, the one can forget. And it goes on to say so in the course of time. Remember it doesn't say in the blink of an eye. It doesn't say instantly. He doesn't say suddenly in one day, suddenly she just got a child. No, in the course of time, Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and she named him Samuel, saying, because I asked the Lord form, it did not happen immediately.

6:25 Speaker 2: The answer did not come immediately. Hannah did what the Lord asked her to do. What did she do? She went with Alkana right. See, you do what you need to do. You empty out and you do what you need to do. You put yourself out there, you take the step of faith, You put your information on the portals that need to be done. You do what you need to do. But it is in the lost hands to do the supernatural. And the Lord who showed up for Hannah is faithful to show up in your life. The Lord who remembered Hannah is faithful to remember you today.

7:09 Speaker 2: I want to pray and release this what over you. If there is an area of badness in your life, an area where things are dead, you feel like it's zero out of one hundreds in your life, you feel like a failure, you feel like nothing is working, you feel like you're stuck. I want to pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the God who opened Hannah's womb, the God who showed up in the life of Hannah, the God who remembered Hannah, is remembering you, is showing up in your life just like Hannah in the course of time.

7:41 Speaker 2: In the in the next couple of days and weeks and months and years, you're gonna say, the Lord showed up suddenly, the Lord did a miracle. The Lord turned my life around. I believe it. I want you to receive it by faith and share this with the Word with somebody who needs to hear this, and I will see you back next time. God bless you.
