GET VIOLENT< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1 Samuel 1

In every sickness, there is a different prescription of medication by the doctor. Also, the degree of pain will call for different prescription of painkillers. A patient that is experiencing pain in his leg will not receive the same prescription of painkiller like the one who comes out of surgery. This is to say every situation of hindrance demands a different approach of gaining a breakthrough. When you have received a command with a key in your hand to insert, turn and push a door and all you could do is insert and not turn nor push, you are bound to waste away and destiny could be altered. Hannah was loved by her husband ÒÉalthough the LORD had closed her womb.Ó (1 Samuel 1:6). Without any distraction, she was able to ask, seek and knock to have her door opened by GodÕs mercy. Hannah had all the comfort from her husband Elkanah that could have kept her silent from seeking God to open the closed door, but she refused to waste away because she needed to possess her possession in the Lord. Think of this for a moment, the same God that closed HannahÕs door is the same God that commanded in Luke 11:9, ÒSo I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.Ó God meant all of what He said and the ones He is still saying for those that will take to working and walking in His word. God wants His word to be received and to be operated for an effective and infallible result that cannot be denied. When God said ask and it shall be given, He knew exactly that there is provision for the need but asking is what will bring forth the provision. He also said seek because He enjoys being sought for in times of desperation and that is why He alone is God. In your seeking Him, He will not hide from you if you seek Him diligently. He asked us to knock when there is a need for us to gain entrance or receiving a breakthrough in every area of closed door. Many times we have limited ourselves by asking only and not seeking or seeking and not knocking when our situation actually demands asking, seeking and knocking. Hannah had been going to Shiloh every year with a pressing need, but her situation changed when, ÒÉher rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the LORD had closed her womb. 7 So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.Ó (1 Samuel 1:6-7) Hannah stepped up in her seeking solution to the closed door when she became miserable due to the unchanging situation after years of asking. It is time that you stop begging. He commanded us to ask but not beg for what He has already given to us.  Begin to get violent in your asking, seeking and knocking. He will not fail in His Word.
