My Month Of Recovery! Ps3:3

The Lord is calling us to Recovery this month.
It’s a sure promise.
Everything that brings humiliation into our lives is reversed in this season, in Jesus’ name.
Humiliation is a feeling that strikes at our pride,
it’s a shame, a disgrace that makes us want to disappear off the face of the earth,
it’s a feeling of being vulgar, nothing at all.
Humiliation is a demeaning situation, but it can contribute to our happiness, our restoration, our sanctification.
Humiliation can bring us closer to the Lord, teach us humility.
Humiliation can bring confusion to our lives, but it can also bring glory to all who fear the Lord.
It is by reading the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel that we understand that humiliation can shatter a destiny but also force a person to connect with God in order to open up their heaven.
Hannah had a very hard time with the fact that she was barren, but also with the mortifications of her co-wife.
1 Samuel 1 tells us her story.
There was a man of Ramathaim Zophim, in the hill-country of Ephraim, named Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Thohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
He had two wives, the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
Every year the man went up from his city to Shiloh to worship the Lord of hosts and to sacrifice to him. There were Elis two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of The LORD. On the day when Elkanah offered his sacrifice, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. But he gave Hannah a double portion, because he loved Hannah, whom the Lord had made barren. Her rival gave her a great deal of mortification, to make her angry that the Lord had made her barren. And so it was every year. Every time Anne went up to the house of the Lord, Peninna mortified her in the same way. So she wept and ate nothing. Her husband Elkanah said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep and not eat? Why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons? So Hannah got up after they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh. Eli the priest was sitting on a seat by one of the pillars of the temple of The LORD. And she prayed to the LORD with bitterness in her soul, and wept. And she vowed a vow, saying, O Lord of hosts, if you will look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, and give your handmaid a male child, then I will consecrate him to the Lord all the days of his life, and the razor shall not pass over his head. She prayed before the Lord for a long time, and Eli watched her mouth. Hannah spoke from her heart, and only moved her lips, but her voice could not be heard. Eli thought she was drunk, and he said to her, "How long will you be drunk? Pass on your wine. Hannah said, "No, my lord; I am a woman who suffers in her heart, and I have not drunk wine or intoxicating liquor; but I have poured out my soul before The LORD. Dont take your handmaid for a perverted woman; for it is the overflow of my grief and my sorrow that has made me speak until now.
Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace, and may the God of Israel hear your prayer to her.
And she said, “May your handmaid find favour in your sight. So the woman went her way. She ate, and her face was not the same.
They got up early in the morning, worshipped the Lord, and returned to their house in Ramah. Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.
In the course of the year Hannah conceived, and bore a son, and named him Samuel; for she said, “I have asked the Lord for him.
In reading this story, we recognise that Hannah was very humiliated but if Penina had not been there to frustrate her,
Anne would not have stepped out of her comfort zone, she would not have taken the decision to break out of her spiritual routine.
Beloved, to come out of humiliation, we must take a step of faith because the Lord’s goodness is not exhausted.
The Lord is always ready to restore us, it is our attitude and our declarations that will allow the Lord to change our situation.
Job, 22:29 – Though you are humiliated, you will pray for your recovery: God helps him whose eyes are downcast.
May no form of humiliation destroy you.
The disappointments we go through are only for a moment,
the time is coming when the Lord will remember us,
our prayers have reached the Lord and he has sent his angels to come and do us good.
Don’t think that the time we spend in secret is a waste, God is the one who will raise our heads from the dust.
No man is able to stop the blessing that the Lord has released.
When we are afflicted, let us know that Yaweh’s presence is our security.
Yaweh will restore the stolen years, lost by our adversaries.
Let us not miss anything that God wants to do.
May the Lord bless us.
Good day to you all
Good day
