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
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 has
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 theses 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 Haman
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
if mourning shall turn to 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.

HYMN: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee
thou wilt find a solace there.
