OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL-GOD'S REMEMBRANCE AND DELIVERANCE III- 24/03/2014


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

Fulfilling Christmas?

T oday is December 25 th , the long-awaited Christmas day. A day where everyone rejoices and celebrate in unison. There had not been any day like this where the whole world, whether Greek or Jew, white or black, Muslim or Christian, celebrate in unity. Indeed, this must be a special day. The world as we know enjoy celebration even in the midst of suffering, greed, poverty, lack and high political and economic tension. On a day like this virtually everyone pretends all is well just to have a full grasp of the day. Yes. All is well but is all really well? On a day like this, I spend more time resonating about the 358days which has gone by. I realised that I have lost many friends, made new friends, attended funerals, attended naming ceremonies. I have seen terrible accidents and I have even been involved in some. But yet I am standing. Oh, I didn’t die? Yea. But why didn’t I die? Am I better than those who died or lost one part of their body? The answer is No! Life is all abo...

Let Thy Pain Drive Thee

N ecessity, they say, is the mother of invention. Something becomes a necessity when its presence is required; its absence might also cause a little amount of pain. So, when people begin to find alternatives to reducing these pain, invention sprung up. So, I say, “let thy pain direct thee”. Life has never been a bed of roses and it will never be as long as humanity exist. Therefore, we all should expect pain in different levels. Sometimes the pain might be more. Other times, it might be less. But the fact remains that we will all experience pain in different aspect of our lives. But more importantly is the ability to learn from every pain we suffer or endure. Over the years, I realized that every good thing is wrapped in the arms of pain. Therefore, to claim a good thing, one has to overpower pain to achieve this goodness. Globally, economic and financial reports over decades have shown that inflation, depreciation and losses are consistent with human lives. In fact, the so c...
