Let God Remember You And You'll Smile



How will you feel if God remembers you today? Your story will become a testimony and your future brighter and glorious. In this world full of challenges, everyone needs God to remember him or her at one point or another.  This post aims at provoking you to seek God to remember you. 

And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her. So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.” – 1 Samuel 1:19-20 (NKJV, emphasis mine)

The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron – Psalm 115:12 (ESV)

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt  – Genesis 19:29 (NKJV)

Are you up to your neck with a challenge? What you need is for God to remember you and stretch His hand towards you to deliver you. When God shines His face upon you and releases His favour towards you no enemy of yours can hold you anymore.  When God remembers you, something definite must surely happen.
For instance, When Noah was locked up in the ark with his family and some animals, there was heavy down pour of rain for months. But when God remembered him, He made a wind to pass over the earth and the rain ceased – Genesis 8:1-2

Also, when God was destroying the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham and delivered Lot his nephew from the destruction – Genesis 19:29. And when The Israelites cried out under the Egyptian bondage, God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and delivered them from the hands of their enemies – Exodus 2:24.

The Perfect Bond For Everything

I know you desire to be perfect before God, but how possible is it? You have done so many things in your quest to obey God and it's like something is still missing. What do you do? This post gives you the perfect bond that binds everything together completely.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48 KJV)

And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony]. (Colossians 3:14 AMP)

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. (1 Corinthians 12:31 KJV)

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (I Corinthians 13:8, 13 NKJV)

Truly, you have been trying to please God and to live right, but things seem not to be going the way you expected; you are not enjoying the blessings of God which are your portion for obeying God. And you have wondered what else haven't you done?

The challenge may lie on the strength of your bond of perfection which is LOVE. Love is the connection that fastens things together. No matter what you do, if there is no love, it will yield little or no result. You can't be perfect without love. God is love (1 John 4:8) and if you are to be like Him, then you need to love as He does.

Everything answers to love. It is the fulfillment of the law - Romans 13:8. Your quest for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the manifestations of the fruit of the Holy Spirit and the blessings of God in your life are subject to the love of God in your life - 1 Corinthians 12:31 - 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

All your efforts, services, seeds and sacrifices are futile without the perfect bond of love. Love binds them all together to give an ideal harmony (Colossians 3:14), a sweet smell of savour acceptable unto God. It is what gives taste to your life. Like in soup, love is the salt that brings out the taste of other ingredients. Read more...

The Mystic Secret Of God



Does God have secrets? Yes, He does, but the good news is that they are now revealed to His children by His Holy Spirit. And possession of the secrets of God is possession of absolute victory in life. This post reveals one major God's secret that is also a mystery.

"...and that they may become progressively more intimately acquainted with and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly that mystic secret of God, [which is] Christ (the Anointed One)."(Colossians 2:2 AMP)

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (I Corinthians 2:7, 8 NKJV)

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her Offspring; He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel. [Gal. 4:4.] (Genesis 3:15 AMP)

Praise God, the mystic secret of God has been revealed! This mystery was brought into existence at the fall of man. When the enemy did his worst, God created this mystery to later over throw the enemy and recover all for Himself and for man. He spoke it out but the enemy understood it not, because if he had he would not have crucified the Lord of Glory - 1 Corinthians 2:8

God said that He would put enmity between the devil and the woman, and between his offspring and her Offspring, and that he would bruise and tread the devil's head underfoot, and the devil will lie in wait and bruise His heel - Genesis 3:15.

So, when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, to purchase the freedom of man, who was subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us - Galatians 4:4, 5

Now, what exactly is this mystic secret of God? It is Christ, the anointed one - Colossians 2:2. Some of the  children of God in the Old Testament like Moses, David and Isaiah (Deut 18:15, Acts 2:23-36, Isaiah 9:6-7) had an idea of this mystery of God but the full picture was not revealed until Christ was born, crucified,  resurrected and seated at the right hand of God. Victory at last! Read more...
