God’s Remembrance &
Deliverance 111
Memorise: Remember me, O my
God, for good. Nehemiah 13:31b
One truth the children of God must continue to
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 decides 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 Eli’s prayer. 1 Samuel 1:17 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 all forms of bondage today in Jesus’ Name. Let us
learn from Hannah what she did to draw divine attention to herself and her
situation. 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
makes as they expect God to play their own roles together with His. This ended
a Cavalry 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 1:19d 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.
Action Point
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.
