“Dare To Be a Samuel”
Friday, September 13, 2024Key Verse
“Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.” 1 Samuel 12:3
Text — 1Samuel 12:1-7
Message
Samuel was a person who had served God from his childhood till adulthood. He served God with all sincerity and had a clear conscience towards God and man. His life of honesty and transparency was so cear that no man could point to an evil that he did all the days of his life. He was in the Old Testament but had a similar testimony like Jesus whom the prince of this world came and found no offence in Him.
If you are to stand before your friends and family members, can you boast that you will have the same testimony as Samuel? Or you’re scared to ask people what they think about you because you know that you have been a disobedient child. Repent today and determine to be a Samuel and God will give you the needed grace.
