A Vow And a Vote of Thanks

Power of Prayer - A Series By Allana Austin Two - Part Two: A vow and a vote of thanks   1 Samuel 2: 1-10 Hannah’s gratitude Do you remember me? “I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord.” Many times I came to you weeping, my countenance extremely sad and my frame weak, but “For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of Him.” [1 Samuel 1:25 – 26] Now I stand before you in jubilance, “My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.” [1 Samuel 2:1] You have raised my position in the eyes of my family, and my community. In giving me this child, you have removed reproach from me, and increased my wealth. Hannah could not have borne or birthed this child, Samuel, if she was not perseverant in her prayers. And now she had returned unto the Lord to express heartfelt gratitude! Prayer of Imprecation “And she vowed a vow and said, O LORD of h

Having the Faith of Jesus

Having the Faith of Jesus Photo Credit: www.pexels.com By: Samantha Charles  · July 2, 2020  · 3 min read The world is in the midst of a crisis, a global pandemic called COVID-19. As a Christian, I have always been grateful for the faith I have in Christ. I often wonder how individuals can maneuver daily life in this crazy world without Christ. See, I was raised in a Christian family, and though I have strayed in the past, I never stopped believing in God. I always knew that God was sufficient, but that knowledge was challenged by COVID -19. As a Registered Nurse, I was rocketed to the "front line" in the fight against this disease. This pandemic is wreaking havoc on our communities and families. It has taken many lives, and as hard as it is to think about, many of these individuals have gone down in Christ-less graves. We know so little about this virus, it seemed like they were constantly diagnosing or inventing new symptoms and suggested treatments. At the beginning of eac

Black Panther And The Christian

Many Christians are excited and are very supportive of the latest Marvel Superhero film, the Black Panther. They are also going in droves to watch it, some churches are even promoting it. But the question is, should Christians watch those movies or are even the theaters places for Christians to go to? Hollywood Anti-God  The first thing a person who is seeking Christ should realize is that Hollywood is not on the side of God. This is a place that promotes all manner of wickedness and are in opposition to the Most High. Violence and immorality are a specialty of Hollywood movies. Using the powerful media, those movies have played a huge part in the corruptions of the minds of humanity. When we as Christians go to the theater to support Hollywood movies with our money, we are making them richer and hence participating in their works-the promotion of evil. Thus we become participants on the side of Satan in His warfare against God. Black Panther Black Panther is not a Christian m

Worldwide, not just among non-believers but in God’s believers. The church is confronted with a health crisis and a crisis of faith. Whenever there is a state of emergency, people will do things they will not usually do to save themselves. A person who would not regularly wash their hands throughout the day, is now washing their hands every moment and chance they get. People who usually do not watch the news, are glued to the T.V and watching for notifications on their phones for updates. People who could care less , care more because they want to live. A man will do, whatever you tell him to do, even if he has never done it, to save his life. “For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cheri
