Introduction: How can we Rock our World? Have you ever set up any “Ebenezer’s”? You ask, “What is that”? In the book of 1 Samuel, God had His people to establish some Ebenezers.

It was during a time when Israel was at war with the Philistines. In fact, the enemies of Israel had not only defeated them but also took their Ark of the Covenant. However, bad things happened to them. Boils began to spread across their camps until finally after seven months they got two momma cows to take the Ark away on a cart back to Israel.Next, twenty years passed by and once again they attacked Israel. So what is an Ebenezer? It is a commemorative stone: אֶבֶן הָעֵזֶר, (eh’-ben haw-e’-zer). By definition, it is a stone of the help.

How can we Rock our World?

1. By Resisting the devil’s DECEIVERS! (1Sam 7:1-4) – “And Samuel spake 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.”

Time to clean house! Here was a call for a spiritual awakening. And the people obeyed. Do you think our nation needs an awakening?

Will you pray?

2. By Remembering the Lord’s Ebenezers! (1Sam 7:5-12) – “Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.”

Have you set up some spiritual stones where the Lord has helped you?

3. By Reaching out to UNBELIEVERS & BELIEVERS! (1Sam 7:12) – “Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.”

Conclusion: The way to Rock your world is to set up some stones. Go back and reread this devotion and passage to get the gist of what our Lord is saying.
