A certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountain of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah who was son Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph an ephraimate.
This story is very inspiring for every women with broken heart. Elkanah married to Hannah & Peninnah. Penninah had children & Hannah had no children, she is broken because of being barren.
Elkanah being devoted person, he went to place Shiloh to sacrifice before the LORD and offers double portion of the sacrifice for Hannah, as he loved her. This love makes Hannah more comfortable at the same time she is guilt & felt lone as she could not give her husband that honour child through her.
Her rival also provoked her & made Hannah miserable as her womb is closed, there are few problems & challenges she need to pass through it. Let me list down for clear understanding
Hannah’s womb is closed - > It’s her inability
Hannah is loved by her husband more -> It’s her strength
For Hannah, elkanah sacrifices twice of love on her -> it’s her strength
Penninah have children -> It’s her challenge
Penninah competes Hannah -> It’s her challenge
Hannah is helpless -> It’s her problem
We can see, here 4 things
It’s her inability
It’s her strength
It’s her challenge
It’s her problem
We have to see in our life, which to focus & what to do. Let us not react and response based on the challenge & inability. we tend to ask help from the living Lord because of the pressure we have from the inability & challenge. We should ask God on our own problem. And what’s the react of all such things.
She went on to the Lord & asked HIM to help her, that’s the right steps to take further. If God listens to your problem, he will respond.
ONLY HE CAN..

Smith Wigglesworth had one of the greatest healing ministries in history. But there was a time when this great apostle of faith was reluctant to even preach. Smith Wigglesworth was a plumber from Bradford, England. While he believed in divine healing, he didn’t believe that anyone was getting healed in Bradford. So Wigglesworth took afflicted souls to nearby Leeds every Tuesday. He was confident that a group that practiced divine healing there had an anointing to break the yokes of sickness and disease. He was confident because his wife Polly was healed in Leeds. Little did he know that Bradford would soon be recognized as a place for divine healing, too, and that God would use a plumber as His chosen vessel. It all started the day Bradford church leaders decided to attend the Keswick Convention, an annual summer reunion held to promote “practical holiness.” Smith Wigglesworth reluctantly agreed to administrate the church meetings during their absence, yet hoped to persuade someon
