The Topic of Daily Fountain Devotional for 17th September 2024 Is “A Vow Fulfilled”

Read: 1 Samuel 1: 19-28(NKJV)

19 Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.
20 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.”
21 Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will take him, that he may appear before the Lord and remain there forever.”
23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the Lord establish His word.” So the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
24 Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the Lord in Shiloh. And the child was young.
25 Then they slaughtered a bull, and brought the child to Eli.
26 And she said, “O my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the Lord.
27 For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.
28 Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the Lord.” So they worshiped the Lord there.

ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE  FOR 17TH SEPTEMBER 2024.

After the trip to the temple at Shiloh, God answered Hannah’s prayer – she became pregnant-and later was delivered of a baby boy whom she named Samuel. That year Elkanah and his family went to Shiloh without Hannah who was nursing the child. After the child was weaned, Hannah and Samuel accompanied the family to worship and sacrifice at Shiloh where she handed over Samuel to Eli in fulfillment of her vow. Some people make vows to God and do not fulfill them. Such behaviour is ungodly for the Bible tells us not to delay in paying our vows, as it is better not to vow than to vow and not pay (Eccl. 5: 4-5).

What did you vow to God that you have not paid? Some Church members make pledges in the Church which they never pay. This is sin! Have you borrowed money or something that you have not returned as you vowed? Is there a promise you made to your husband, wife, child, customer, business partner or friend that you have not fulfilled? Be a faithful and trustworthy Christian and fulfill your vows to God and neighbours. Then God will bless you.

PRAYER: My Father; help me to always fulfil my vows to you and others promptly, Amen.
