Penninah was said to have mocked Hannah on a consistent basis.

👉🏼Penninah mocked her because she was childless.
👉🏼She mocked her because she was unfruitful.
1Samuel 1:6 NLT
So Peninnah wld taunt Hannah & make fun of her b/c d lord had kept her from having children

Satan & his demons are better organized.

We should have been the one taking credit for this.
1.
When Jesus asked , what is your name in Mark 5:9 KJV
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

2.
They responded, we are a Regiment, we match together, we are orderly.

Satan has a highly organized and effective army and this is because, his agents or demons are not disorganized as we erroneously think when they come against you and I.

3.
When Satan matches with his demons they all match with a "spirit" of unity.
they accused Jesus of casting out Satan in Satan's name..Luke 11:17-18 KJV
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house

4.
divided against a house falleth. [18] If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

Jesus was saying that Satan's kingdom is not divided against itself.

I will also like to remind you that from

Genesis-Revelations you will never find demons fighting demons, principalities fighting principalities, witches fighting witches, its only when we take a look inside d church that we see so much of royal rumble. Ministers of d Gospel fighting each other, churches antagonizing

They wanted to make sure He remained dead, but...

Matthew 27:63 MSG
They said, "Sir, we just remembered that that liar announced while he was still alive, 'After three days I will be raised.'

Matthew 27:64 MSG
We've got to get that tomb sealed until the

third day. There's a good chance his disciples will come and steal the corpse and then go around saying, 'He's risen from the dead.' Then we'll be worse off than before, the final deceit surpassing the first."

Matthew 27:65 MSG
Pilate told them, "You will have a guard. Go ahead and secure it the best you can."

Matthew 27:66 MSG
So they went out and secured the tomb, sealing the stone and posting guards.

Men were assigned to the tomb Jesus was buried. They were not mere men...

they were trained soldiers. They wanted to make sure He remained dead.

His adversaries had so much hatred for him, yet, they feared every word He spoke about resurrecting again on the third day.

Even if He arose, He would not be able to get out of the tomb, they said to

themselves, but, they were soooo wrong. His purpose must be accomplished.

I don't know what or who has been assigned to keep you down.

Keep you down from achieving your purpose.

Jesus broke through. You will break through that hindrance.

They could not keep Jesus from coming

This scripture.

Ephesians 3:3 MSG
I got the inside story on this from God himself...

This scripture 👆🏽took me back in time as I was indulging myself in my morning Bible study this morning. It reminded me how God can give d inside story of what is about to

happen and make it plain before His children.

Can't remember the year now, but, I went for this Bank job interview and it turned out it was not an interview but a fun thing.

The night before the interview, I prayed with this scripture and as I fell asleep some minutes later,

I dreamt there wasn't going to be any interview...like seriously?

At first, I dint understand d dream, but, I still went shaa.

I was the 3rd applicant for my prearranged 11am interview.

As I stepped into the room, there were 3 men and a lady, all facing the door. We exchanged

pleasantries and I sat down expecting the panel to kick start the session.

While waiting, the only lady on the panel just startled me by saying, "so, you are an ARSENAL fan..." You can imagine how lost I looked. They all noticed how shocked I was and then one of the men helped

out by gazing at the lapel on my suit. Apparently, I forgot to take it off the ARSENAL LAPEL the night before. I made to remove it and apologized for wearing such to a formal interview, and all the 3 men just echoed in unison, "GUNNERS FOR LIFE" and I responded in like manner and

A SHORT EXHORTATION

WHY SHOOT OUR WOUNDED? Ps. 109:21-31

A Detroit newspaper reportd that a patient in a local hospital was shot and killed as he lay in his bed recovering from a previous gunshot wound. D victim had been listed in fair condition prior to

the shooting and was looking forward to going home. Hospital patients and employees were stunned. A spokesperson said that nothing like this had happened in the 50yrs of the hospital's existence.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could say the same for our churches?

Wouldn't it be encouraging if we were able to say that in 50yrs of meeting together for worship, fellowship and spiritual healing, we had not had a single instance of a wounded member being cut down by the unkindness of a fellow Christian?

Many among us have experienced the pain that David expressed in Psalm 109. When he was hurt and vulnerable, insensitive people took advantage of him. Certainly, if he had sinned, he needed their loving correction. what he didn't need was their scorn, gossip, and selfish neglect.

Who shoots his foot after stubbing his toe? No one in his right mind. Neither should anyone with the mind of Christ act unmercifully toward a wounded brother or sister in the body of Christ. Rather, we must "show mercy" (v.16).

Give me, Lord, a lot of mercy
For my fellow men

Peter put the widows all out of the room. He knelt and prayed. Then he spoke directly to the body: "Tabitha, get up."

It's an entirely different ballgame when you speak directly to a situation.

There is tremendous power backing up the

Word of God when spoken directly at Anything tangible or intangible .

👉🏼Peter had nothing to offer the man by the beautiful game... He only had the Word and that made all the difference to the crippled beggar..

eventually became an exceeding great army. ( *Just think about it for a second* )

He hasn't changed. He still makes stuffs happen for the "underdogs"

"Living on Lori Iro"

Was studying a few verses in the book of 1Sam. Chapter 4, and I am struck by a few occurrences which are still common in today's world, even as we continually live on self denial. The Lori Iro kind of thing. Nothing thrives

when we live in self denial. There is no fresh start without doing the needful.

Let's take a look at;
1 Samuel 4:2 MSG
The Philistines marched out to meet Israel, the fighting spread, and Israel was badly beaten - about 4,000 soldiers left dead on the field.
1 Samuel 4:3 When

the troops returned to camp, Israel's elders said, "Why has God given us such a beating today by the Philistines? Let's go to Shiloh and get the Chest of God's Covenant. It will accompany us and save us from the grip of our enemies."

The catch here for me is this;

The elders

were quick to blame God for the overwhelming defeat and shame at the hands of the "godless" philistines, and as if that was not enough, they tried to "USE" God, like, He, God, was in their pockets, ready to be used at all times and for whatever purpose. It did not matter if God

was "busy, asleep, playing etc-(just used those catch phrases literally. We know God cannot be caught in any of those)

The point here is that, defeat started for them early, even before the battle.

God had expressed His anger against the prophet over israel (Eli) and his 2
