FAITH CAPSULE: Are you experiencing challenges with your need for God’s remembrance upon your life?

1Samuel 1

Are you in doubt if God has forgotten you? Are you thinking your distance from God is the reason for God not to remember you? What is your challenge that demands attention? God is a caring father, He is a caring creator that does not sleep off and not remember is creation. The word of God is true as it is written in Isaiah 49:15, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely, they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.” (Isaiah 49:15)
God does not forget is creation but will remember with favor and visit with salvation. The Psalmist wanted to be remembered, and it is written in Psalm 106:4 “Remember me, O LORD, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation.” Over four hundred years of bondage was not enough for God not to remember the Israelites in the hand of Pharaoh and his heart of stone. God remembered the Israelites as stated, “Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.” (Exodus 2:23-24) God remembered the Israelites and God acknowledged them. With God’s acknowledgement, nothing could stop the Israelites from coming out of bondage; the Israelites could not be stopped from setting out for their journey to the Promised Land. For the children of Israel, God’s acknowledgement was permanent end to the bondage in the hand of Pharaoh.
God’s hand is not short and His hand cannot fail for deliverance and preservation at all time. God remembered the Israelites and Hannah was also remembered by God.
Hannah, in time of her need for God’s visitation she never excused herself from going to Shiloh. Hannah was barren and mockery was constant in her face. Hannah could not forget her God but kept on going for God at Shiloh. Hannah’s barrenness could not yield her to mockery of bareness.
Are you experiencing challenges with your need for God’s remembrance upon your life?God does not forget but remembered and visited Hannah, “…Elkhanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.” God’s remembrance of Hannah delivered her from mockery into miracle. Without any doubt, God is a good God and there is no evil agenda which can stop God’s doing.
God alone will turn mockery into miracle; stagnation into motion to the glory of His Holy name. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Is there any area that you want God to remember you in the coming days? Are you walking in His commands? Call on God, put Him in remembrance concerning the work of His hand and He will remember you and visit you with salvation.

Prayer for today: Ask God to look upon you for His visitation.
