REMEMBER ME, O GOD
Memorise: Remember me, O my God concerning this, and wipe
not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the
offices thereof. Nehemiah 13:14
Read: Esther 6:1-10, (KJV) 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.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of
Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door,
who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done
to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him,
There is nothing done for him.
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come
into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang
Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman
standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 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?
7 And Haman answered
the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
8 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:
9 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.
10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the
apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew,
that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.

MESSAGE
There are battles to fight here on earth, don’t let anyone
ever deceive you that there are no battles. There is nothing as good and
pleasant as when you commit all these battles and obstacles into the hand of
God. God is always ready to take action when we report all our enemies to Him.
There are some people who enjoy carrying our evil acts against the children of
God for no reason. Some people just cannot stand you being blessed by the God
you serve.
Today’s passage reveals the conspiracy of Human against the
anointed of the Lord. I decree that all conspiracies against your progress
shall be scattered in Jesus’ name. God needs to always expose your enemies to
you so that you can know how to handle them. The king could not sleep because
God wanted him to remember someone who had saved his life from conspiracy. When
God remembers you, your long years of mourning shall turn joy. When God
remembers you, the stagnation of many years ceases in a day. One truth the
children of God must continue to remember is that it takes divine remembrance
to daily experience the deliverance of God.
One person that
enjoyed the remembrance of God was Hannah. For so many years, she lived in
barrenness, but her day of remembrance came and the Lord put an end to her
years of barrenness. If you want God to remember you in your own situation,
there is a role for you to play. You have to call His attention to what you are
going through. Mordecai called the attention of Esther to the source of their
problem and Esther called the attention of the king and the rest is history.
Every closed mouth equals a closed destiny. Don’t allow your mouth to be
closed. When Hannah got to Shiloh, she made her petition to God and her request
was granted. There is a reader of this devotional, as you call upon the Lord,
He will give you permanent rest in Jesus’ name.
A life of holiness is a requirement for anyone who wants to
call upon the Lord. If you are living in sin, there is no way God will hear
you. You have to surrender your life totally to God, and just like Esther did,
fast, pray and take practical steps under the divine guidance of God concerning
every challenge you are going through. If a human king could ask for what could
be done to the person in whom he had delight in, you can imagine what Jesus
will do for you if you seek Him.
Prayer point
Father, please remember me for good.
