And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
1 Samuel 2:11
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
1 Samuel 2:12
" Your works will speak for you'
Samuel was born of Elkanah and Hannah yet his parents were not priests but he ministered unto the Lord and his parents were faithful to give him back to the Lord. How many times in our lives have we faced a lot of hardships with our children, siblings, workmates, family members or even the community and we failed to surrender them to their Maker who is God. Today I say whatever is troubling you surrender it to God be it anger, malice, jealousy or envy. Because on the day of judgement you will be alone and you will be answerable on how you lived your life.
But the sons of Eli the Priest were sons of Belial because they did evil in the sight of God. It's not about your father or mother, sister or brother being prayerful and God-fearing but it's about yourself, where you stand with God and how you lived your life.
Children of God our days are few on this earth though it seems like we have all the time in the world yet we are like flowers that bloom and in the twinkling of an eye they wilt, that's how life is and noone knows the day or hour. But here I am to tell you mend your ways and workout your own salvation because noone can do it for you.
As we live each day make the most of it to please the Master and live each day as though it were your last. Whilst the potter is making efforts to mould you into the vessel worthy of honour allow Him to do so now and don't wait for tomorrow. Hallelujah 🙏🎊🥳
