Heaven's Remembrance Day- Daily devotional from Pastor E.A Adeboye

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Zech 11 - 14
HEAVEN’S REMEMBRANCE DAY Sunday, December 05, 2010
MEMORIZE: “Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD” (Ps. 25:7) READ: Genesis 40:20-23 “Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son” (Gen. 18:14). When God’s time to favor you has dawned, God will overlook your weaknesses and shortcomings and ensure that those connected with your destiny do not rest until they fulfill His purpose in your life. Moreover, when the set time of God’s favor has come, you would be remembered. After being helped by Joseph, the chief butler forgot Joseph in the prison for two years (Gen. 40:23). But when his set time came, the one who forgot him suddenly remembered him.  If those you have helped fail to help you in return, do not worry: they may not have a part in your destiny.  Even if they do, may be the set time to be remembered has not come. What is important is securing God’s remembrance.  Even when men remember you, help may not come to you. Are there not some people who have been going through certain unpleasant situations, but you feel helpless over their predicaments? If men remember you but God forgets you, nothing good will result but if God remembers you, every man who forgot you will suddenly remember you and be a blessing to you.  This season, Heaven will remember you for good. In addition, when the time of your favor comes, God divides the enemy’s camp in your favor.  There was a young man who began a church in Europe. It began to thrive so much that certain enemies arose out of envy that a black man was recording such a phenomenal success. His critics took his case to the government in an attempt to shut down the church gates. Then the decisive meeting was fixed for a Monday. The preceding Sunday, the son of an influential member of that committee took ill and the preacher was invited to pray for him. He got an immediate healing. So the following day when the case against the church was tabled, the boy’s father sternly objected and said that the man’s ministry will enjoy his full support.  That was how the case was closed. When the time of your favor comes, those who team up against you will end up giving you their support. The enemy loses power over you during your time of favor. ACTION POINT: If Heaven’s remembrance is crucial to you, what are you doing to provoke it?  Thank God for past Holy Ghost Congresses. Pray that the Lord will cause every participant at this year’s Congress to celebrate. N.B Have you supported the www.10millionexercisebooks.com project today?
