GOD'S REMEMBRANCE
AND DELIVERANCE III- 24/03/2014
Yesterday’s message
was titled “GOD'S REMEMBRANCE AND DELIVERANCE II ”. Today’s message is titled “GOD'S
REMEMBRANCE AND DELIVERANCE III” as provided by Pastor E. A. Adeboye in
Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014). In today’s message, we have been asked
to memorise Nehemiah 13:31: Remember me O my God, for good. ” and read 1 San:uel 1:17-19. The Bible in one year for
today has been taken from Ezekiel 17-18 and Psalm 69:1-21.(Adeboye, 2014).
"One
truth the children of God must continue to O remember is that it takes divine
remembrance to daily experience deliverance in their lives and
ministries. The best way to explain this is to interpret ”remembrance” as
”attention”, because God is never forgetful. In Isaiah 49:15 God said:
”Can a woman forget
her sucking child that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.”
So, God does not
forget, but He may decide to ignore you if you continue to live in sin. One
person that experienced divine remembrance was Hannah. The Lord remembered
Hannah by paying attention to her prayer in_answer to E_|i's prayer. 1 Samuel 1
:1 7 says:
”Then Eli answered
and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that
thou hast asked of him.”
Hannah was under
the bondage of barrenness for several years, but when God remembered her, she
was delivered from the bondage of unfruitfulness. To someone using this
devotional, I pray that the Almighty will remember and deliver you from
allforms of bondage today in Jesus‘ Name. Let us learn from Hannah what she did
to draw divine attention to herself and her situation. First, she prayed
earnestly and fasted for God's attention. At times we need to demonstrate our
seriousness concerning what we really want God to do for us by embarking on prayer
and fasting. Jesus taught His disciples this truth in Mark 9:29. In addition,
for God to remember you in your unpleasant situation, you have to cooperate
with Him by playing your own role. My experiences have revealed to me the
mistakes some children of God make as they expect God to play their own roles
together with His. This ended at Calvary where God suffered as a man, but there
He declared: IT IS FINISHED. If you are looking for a job, write applications
and go out to attend interviews because God will not write an application
letter for you, neither will He attend the interview on your behalf. Sufficient
is the fact that He will back you up during the interview. The Bible reveals
something that many may not pay attention to which, of course, was fundamental
to the divine remembrance of Hannah.What is it? 1 Samuel 1:19“ says that:
”and Elkanah knew
Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.”
What could have
happened to Hannah's prayer if she and her husband did not play their part in
this regard? Beloved, let us Cooperate with God, He will remember us for good
in Jesus’ Name."
Today's action
point is to Pray, fast and take steps under the guidance of the Holy Spirit
concerning that situation that is bothering you. You will experience’ divine
remembrance and deliverance
