2.Response towards her life and family

Hannah response to God about samuel

Note:- Hannah sacrifice is not simply but through this we can know how she respect and love God in her life

Note:- Offering the precious thing in her life (HER SON FOR GOD)

Note:- SHE NEVER EXPECTED ANYTHING FROM GOD THIS IS REALLY OFFERING TO GOD

1 Samuel 2:1–10

Hannah’s prayer transcends her personal joy—it becomes a prophetic vision of God’s kingdom.

• Her words anticipate David’s reign and ultimately Christ, the “Anointed One.”

• She shifts from personal blessing to universal truth: God exalts the humble and brings down the proud.

Petition & Vow (1 Sam 1:10–11)

Surrender in prayer- Offer desires to God with open hands

Fulfillment(1 Sam 1:27–28)

Stewardship - Dedicate blessings back to God

Praise(1Sam 2:1–10)

Prophetic thanksgiving - Recognize God’s sovereignty and justice


 3.Response towards God's Kingdom

Jesus Christ response to his father about Mission and Ministry

Father's will Jesus Ministry

The Father’s Will Defined
- John 6:40 – “For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
- The Father’s will is salvation through Christ—belief leading to eternal life.
- 2 Peter 3:9 – “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise… He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
- God’s will is restorative, aiming at repentance and life.

Teaching Others to Do the Father’s Will
- Matthew 7:21 – “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
- Jesus warns that lip service is not enough; true discipleship is obedience.
- Luke 11:28 – “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
- He shifts blessing from mere hearing to active doing.

Jesus Mission (John4:31-38)

Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that Sower and reaper may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

1.Jesus uses metaphor: His true sustenance is spiritual, not physical. Doing God’s will nourishes Him more than bread

2.A recurring Johannine theme: misunderstanding leads to deeper revelation 

3.Jesus defines His mission: obedience to the Father is His life-source

4.A shift from physical harvest cycles to spiritual readiness. The Samaritan villagers coming toward them are the “fields” ripe for harvest

5.Eternal perspective: evangelism produces fruit beyond time. Both sowers (prophets, John the Baptist) and reapers (disciples) share joy

6.Jesus highlights continuity in God’s work. The disciples reap where others labored—showing mission is communal, not individual.
