How to be Honoured by the Lord. (1 Sam 2: 12-36)

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, we continue one of the most tender and powerful moments in Israel’s history — the story of Hannah, her prayer, her obedience, and her son Samuel, who would become a prophet and kingmaker.

From Hannah’s barrenness to her blessing, from her vow to her victory, we see the truth that anchors the entire book of 1 Samuel: “Those who honour Me, I will honour.”

We’ll reflect on what it means to raise godly children in a godless age, how the influence of a praying parent can shape history, and how faithfulness to God always brings fruit — even when it seems the world has forgotten what honour means.

Key Themes:

• The power of godly influence in a corrupt culture.
• The call to honor God in every season of life.
• The faithfulness of God to those who keep their vows.
• How prayer shapes both generations and destinies.

Takeaway Verse:

“Those who honour Me, I will honour.” – 1 Samuel 2:30

Challenge for Listeners:

Ask yourself this week — in what part of my life is God calling me to honour Him more fully? Is it in my words, my work, my worship, or my relationships? Take one step of obedience and watch how the Lord honors it in His time.
