YOU CAN OVERTAKE
MEMORY VERSE
... for more are the children of the desolate than the
children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 54:1b
READ
1 Samuel 2:20-21
1 Sam 2:20 And Eli
blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman
for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.
1 Sam 2:21 And the
LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two
daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
MESSAGE
A single contact with
God can make the difference in the life of an individual. For some years, some
people have laboured in ministry, business, academics and career with nothing
to show for it. If you are in such situation, a contact that will usher a
season of positive change is coming your way. When the hand of God was laid on
Elijah in 1 Kings 18:41-46, he outran King Ahab who had earlier taken off with
speed on his chariot of horses. How can ordinary legs overtake horses? When God
lays His hands on you, your progress will be so rapid that none of your enemies
will be able to catch up with you. From the above scripture, we learn that when
God's hand is upon you, the time you lost that worked against you will be
recovered, and will work in your favour. Ahab ran ahead of Elijah yet the
latter still overtook him. Also, when God's hand is upon you, every limitation
or deficiency that should have stalled your progress will rather advance you.
Imagine a man on his two feet beating a chariot of horses! This tells us that
even when you lack the latest technology, you can still emerge the best if
God's hand is upon you. This season, God's hand will rest upon you for good.
David, a young
shepherd boy had contact with God and he became a king (1 Samuel 16:11-13).
Many people had already written off Hannah as permanently barren until she had
contact with God and the result was six children including Samuel (1 Samuel
2:21). At the end, God permanently shut her mockers up as she had more children
than Peninnah. Isaiah 54:1 was fulfilled in her life. The time you started
having children does not necessarily determine how many you will have. You can
start early and have few children or start late and have many children. Hannah
started late yet she had more children. Are you trusting God for the fruit of
the womb? Have you been waiting for a long time? Are you asking when will it
ever be my turn to have a baby? Your turn has just arrived. Get ready, you are
about to overtake those who are years ahead of you. It is allowed.
PRAYER POINT
Father, lay Your
hand upon me and cause me to overtake all those who took advantage of me and
those who have gone ahead of me.
