Put God in Remembrance I

Friday 3 March
READ: 1 Sam 1: 9 – 20
MORE LESSON: Exo. 2: 23 - 25

Hannah had desired a child for many years. She had prayed and cried unto to the Lord many times. Since God is not deaf, He must have heard her all the while. However, on the day her answer would come, God didn't just hear her, the Scripture says, ...the Lord remembered her: 1 Sam 1:19. So it was the day of her remembrance that came and God answered her prayers. It is not enough to be heard; it is necessary to be remembered. Even in the natural, you could ask someone for something and he heard you but later he doesn't remember to give you. God is never forgetful, but that Scripture says that you need to remind God of His promises so that He can remember you. A man's file can be on his boss' table yet it is not attended to until the day God remembers him.
The children of Israel had been suffering in Egypt for hundreds of years. The burden of slavery became unbearable and they cried to the Lord. Exodus 2:24 says that God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God not only heard their prayers, He remembered the covenant. It is not sufficient to hear but to remember to take action. This is the reason you should not just rely only on the fact that you have prayed; you must insist until God remembers and does something about your issue. In Isaiah 43: 26, God says, Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified: Isa 43:26. So the reason many are not yet justified for the answer to their prayers is because they do not put God to remembrance.
God delights to be put to remembrance, not because He doesn't have the capacity to remember on His own, but because it shows your commitment to His Word. Please note that you are to remind God of His Word and promises and not your sufferings and tales in tears. Many people are murmuring and complaining and think that they are putting God to remembrance. What to bring to God's remembrance is His Word, His promises and the Blood
.
The Lord who remembered Hannah and granted her desire; Jehovah who remembered Israel and delivered them, will remember you today. He will take action on His promises concerning your life and you will have a divine intervention, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* I refuse to give up on God, in Jesus’ name.
* I receive grace never to resign to fate but to resort to God's Word, in the mighty name of Jesus.
