May is the month of Ebenezer (surplus)

It is surely a month of the overturn. May is the month of Ebenezer. It will mark the beginning
of Gods unlimited provision in your life. You will surely not lack.The struggles and
challenges you have hard over the years will be no more. It is the month to get right it with
God. Obey the word f God including tithing. Am reminded of the good that comes out after
cleansing our selves before God. And Samuel spoke unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye
do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth
from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will
deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim
and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only 1Samuel 7:3-4
Meditation verse of the month is May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my
heart be pleasing to You, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer? Psalm 19:14 NLT
Ebenezer means a stone of help. This was the memorial stone set up by Samuel to
commemorate the divine assistance to Israel in their great battle against the Philistines, whom
they totally routed (1 Sam. 7:7-12) at Aphek, in the neighbourhood of Mizpeh, in Benjamin,
near the western entrance of the pass of Beth-horon. It was the place that the Israelites set
down camp when they were warring with the Philistines, who were camped at Aphek. They
commenced to fighting and the Israelites lost 4,000. So then the Israelites decided they
needed the big gun, and they sent to Shiloh for the old Ark of the Covent to pump up the
troops. Pump them up it did. The Israelites hooped and hollered. The Philistines got scared,
but decided they would rather fight than become slaves. But despite the Isralites enthusiasm,
and the Philistines fear, the Philistines really gave them a whomping this time, killing 30,000
Israelites and taking the Ark of the Covenant for themselves.
In 1 Samuel 4:1-11 and 5:1, the Ebenezer is strangely identified with a particular site, about
four miles south of Gilgal, where the Israelites were twice defeated by the Philistines and the
Ark of the Covenant was stolen. These battles took place, however, before the site was
actually named Ebenezer.Likewise, the two battles mentioned in 1 Samuel 4 and 5 took place
at Ebenezer, but some time before it was so-named.The site wasnt named Ebenezer until
after the Israelites finally defeated the Philistines, and took back the Ark of the Covenant. To
commemorate the victorious battle, Samuel set up a marker-stone, named it "Stone of Help,"
and thereby the site became identified with the stone and with the place where Gods
miraculous help aided them in their victory over the Philistines. The stone, standing up-right,
was called "Ebenezer," and the site naturally took on that name as well.
