Purposeful and Meaningful: When God Remembers you.....

I know what it is like when you feel God has forgotten all about you. I also know what it tastes like to be remembered or visited by God.

When God remembers you, everything about you changes.

In a moment you forget all your past mistakes, pitfalls, regrets and everything that makes you down.

When God decided it was time for Job to be restored, everything he had lost in the time past was restored in seven fold.

Job 42:10-11 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and everyone an earring of gold.

All those who had abandoned him in his time of trials were soon joined back to him. They had no choice than to associate with him. Why? It was his time for Divine Remembrance. God is the unchanging God that changes all situations.

When God remembered Mordecai the bible says the king

could not sleep because someone had to be remembered.

Esther 6:1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

When it was his time of divine remembrance, his arch enemy recommended the best honor to give a man the king had remembered. Unknown to him, it was for Mordecai, his enemy.

When God remembers you, no Haman can stop you.

Esther 6:6-9 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself? And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour, Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head: And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.

When God remembers you, all those who despise you will have no choice than to submit to you. You become an unstoppable fast moving train that will crush every obstacle in its way.

Hannah was barren for a long time and her rival mocked her continuously. She was so distressed that the priest thought her a drunk.

1Samuel 1:6-7 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb. And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

When God remembered her, he blessed her with one of the great prophets in Israel. God embarrassed her with five more children, for a woman who had been called barren.

1Samuel 2:21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

Can you imagine the shock, disappointment and embarrassment Peninnah had faced? When God remembers you your enemies will be too shocked to face you. God gives what refer to as the-earthquake-miracle.

If God could remember the widow of one of the sons of the prophets whose sons were about to go into slavery because they were in debts, he too will remember you. Am sure the widow had given up on everyone and maybe everything she had believed in.

2Kings 4:1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

She must have prepared herself. Not only was she a widow but also will soon be bereaved of her sons. Just when she was about to throw in the towel, God showed up and does the unexpected. God not only paid up her debts but also gave them sustenance. Oh, we serve a God who is alive and not dead.

I had a nice time yesterday. A good friend of mine came over with her family to spend their evening with us. She is a woman of faith. For three years she had waited for God to bless her with her own children. I watched her go through moment of trails and desperation. Last year we took it serious to engage in prayers while she did her routine medicals. God being too faithful to fail blessed recently with a set of triplets, all boys.

A boy for every year she had waited. I love the Lord! It is an awesome privilege to serve the Lord. When he remembers you he embarrasses you with blessings that you know can only come from God.
