Theydid not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea (Psalm106:7)
Quite a number of places mentionedin the bible that God is a jealous God. Na 1:2 mentioned that God isjealous, and the Lord avenges; God Himself declared in Ex. 20:5that you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God,am a jealous God. The antidote for jealousy is attention. One that doesnot remember can not give attention. God deserves your attention. God wants youto be mindful of His wonders. After four hundred and thirty years in bondage,the children of Israel had a breakthrough from the houseof bondage but were not mindful of the wonders that delivered them. Psalm106:7 mentioned that they did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, Butrebelled by the sea Ð the red sea. To lack to remember God is an act ofrebellion to God. 1Sam15:23 mentioned that rebellion is as the sin ofwitchcraft. The only way not to remember Him in time of challenges iswhen you forget His works. Give God lot of attention and He will attend a lotto you.
~Whenyou forget~
**When youforget His work you will miss His counsel and exceeding lust will reign andrule your life.
**When you forget, you will envy. Toenvy is to covet. To covet is an act of wickedness and it only leads to death.
**When you forget, you will complain.The act of complain will cause you not to heed to the voice of (God Psalm106:25). One that is busy complaining will be busy not to hear Hisvoice when He speaks.
Are youcomplaining about a pending situation now? Get out of it because it will shutyour heaven and you will fail to hear Him.
**When you forget to remember youwill reverse to being ruled by your enemies and oppression will reign.
I pray toGod in the name of Jesus Christ that the spirit that causes a man to lack inremembering God will die to its root in your life.
~He remembers~
Gen 8:1Godremembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with himin the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waterssubsided. Ipray that water of affliction in your life will subside as you become mindfulof the works of God in your life.
1Sam.1:19 Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, andreturned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife,and the LORD remembered her. Bareness ceased. I pray that every area ofbareness in your life-spiritual, financial, and unfruitfulness will give way tofruitfulness in Jesus name.
~Aboveall~
Rememberto keep His command in every battle you face.1Sam. 13:1-14 Saul as king was tobattle the Philistines at Gilgal. He was to wait for seven days. He failedbecause he saw that the people scattered from him and Samuel did not show upwithin the appointed days. He went outside the command of God. He forgot Hisworks and he missed the counsel of God. Saul was looking at the people todeliver him. Let me tell you today that God is able in every battle that youare fighting; if you will remember not to look outside of Him. He will sendhelp at His appointed time. People will scatter but GodÕs timing will notscatter if you do not scatter from it. Samuel came after SaulÕs departure fromGodÕs command. Samuel then told Saul that SaulÕs kingdom will no longercontinue. Saul will no longer be a commander because God has sought for Himselfa man after His own heart. Saul failed to remember the command given to him sohe could no longer be in command. Psalm 27:14 says Wait on the LORD; Beof good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD.
Rememberto always remember Him. He remembered Noah, Hannah, and He is stillremembering. God will remember you in Jesus name Amen.
When we walk with God it is not comfort before obedienceÉ
it is obedience before comfort.
