Shalom all Kingdom citizens,

We know the goal of all leaders is maturity, the full maturity of the people they train. We can see from the life of young Samuel that was dedicated by his mother as she promised to let him be the servant of God. He lived in the time which was similar to present days. Samuel’s father had another woman; thus, there was no good example in his house. He was actually fatherless, there was a father but he did not function as a father.

Then he was sent to the house of the Lord in Shiloh in which Eli became the priest, but his two sons were corrupt. He saw uncleanness before his eyes, but this pure Samuel was not contaminated at all by his environment. Many youngsters said if only the situation had been all right, all the pastors, deacons, and leaders gave good examples, we would have been able to follow God better. No.
