Concerning Eli


Bimbola Tayo Bamidele

We have heard so much about how Eli failed but so little about his success as a prophet.

 

When you focus too much on a leader's faults, you will miss their strengths and lose what you may learn from them.

 

"And the Lord called Samuel the third time. And he went to Eli and said, Here I am, for you did call me. Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy.

 

So Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down. And if He calls you, you shall say, Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. So Samuel went and lay down in his place." - 1Sam.3:8,9 (AMP)

 

Eli could hear no more; yet he had such strength of character that he helped/trained/guided little Samuel to hear.

 
Take note... just in case there is an "Eli" you are despising .
