FOCUS: MANIFOLD GRACE AND WISDOM FOR OUR GENERAL OVERSEER, PASTOR (DR) E.O. ABINA TO MOVE GOFAMINT TO HER BEST LEVEL
TEXT: 1SAM. 7:4-13, 16:1-13
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYER
Samuel was an exemplary Old Testament leader. He was a judge of Israel and prophet of God. His ministry gave birth to an unprecedented revival and progress in the nation of Israel
He was used of God as an intercessor par excellence for the nation (1 Sam. 7:5, 12:23). He became an authority in the custody and dissemination of the word of God. (1Sam
3:18-20).
God used him also to anoint and install the first King of Israel, King Saul. Although, he (Saul)fell by the way. God also used him to anoint and install the second King of Israel, King David, a man after God own’s heart. (1 Sam. 16)
David being the man after the heart of God was the one who continued the righteous and prosperous Kingdom of Israel which Samuel started.
The life of Samuel as portrayed in the Bible could be used to pray for our General Overseer, who also is a righteous leader. Our General Overseer like prophet Samuel is an ardent intercessor. He also is an exemplary Christian leader. He is a leader and preacher of righteousness. He is an authority in the teaching and preaching of the word of God.
He is the one God had chosen to fix people into different sensitive ministerial offices in the church. Those who will be working with him and those who will carry on with the work after him. The manifold grace and divine wisdom that was made available to Samuel is our desire and prayer for our General Overseer today.
Let us pray
