GOD WILL REMEMBER YOU

“Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;” Psalm 106:4 KJV
In the book of Genesis 8:1, the Bible declares: “And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged.” (Genesis 8:1 KJV) Noah had just been through a flood that shook the entire world. Noah was left there in the ark as though that was the end. And the Bible declares that God remembered Noah and caused him to land on a safe place. You will get to your divine destination.
The story of Rachel as documented in the book of Genesis 30 is a revelation of what happens when God remembers you. The scripture tells us that while Leah was having many babies, Rachel’s womb was shut because Leah was hated. For the hatred, God opened Leah’s womb and Rachel remained without a child for a longtime. At a point in time, Rachel cried out to Jacob and said: ‘give me a child or I die.’ And Jacob said ‘Am I God that gives children.’
Indeed, there are things that only God can give. Some of you have long standing desires that you have prayed about. You have even fasted and cried severally, asking for divine intervention. I want to tell you; your answer has come. Jacob said ‘I can’t give a child, but I know of a God that can’, it is that God I am talking about.
The Bible says in Genesis 30:22; “And God remembered Rachel”. If God could remember Rachel of the old covenant, much more will He remember you under the new covenant.
What about Hannah! According to the book of 1Samuel chapter 1, Penninah kept having babies and kept provoking Hannah. And Hannah was just there worshiping God from year to year. It looked as if that was how her story was going to end. But God remembered her and changed her story. And the beautiful thing about God remembering someone is that when He eventually shows up, what He gives is always ‘super’. What He gave Hannah was ‘super’. He gave her Samuel; the first prophet of Israel! Your story will not end in shame or reproach. God will remember you.
