PUT TO REMEMBRANC​E

By Brother Godwin

Beloved,

Theme scripture: Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits (Psalms 103:2).

I welcome you to the month of August 2011. No matter what has not happened before now, my God will make it up for you. You may have believed, and it appears that you have not received it. You know what, once your request is covered in the WILL called the Bible, that is the only evidence that God has granted your petition (1 John 5:14-15). Look at this; I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass (Isaiah 48:3). Are you expecting this manifestation? Listen, your miracle is going to be sudden in the name of Jesus Christ. AmenThe theme scripture says we should not forget God’s benefits. A lot of times we tend to think that salvation is only of the soul so that we can go to heaven. Yes, going to heaven is a major aspect of salvation but there are other components also.

When Adam sinned, he was separated from God and because of it, sickness, lack, sufferings and every evil work followed him. The scripture says that the redemption that Christ brought was much more than the effect of Adam’s sin.  But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many (Romans 5:15). You know what?   He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). So the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ destroyed the works of the devil. See these: For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich (2Corinthians 8:9). Also who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed (1 Peter 2:24). Friend, Jesus blotted the evil hand writings against us and triumphed over the enemy. Please note that Jesus Christ is not going to make us free. No! He had already made us free. We have been delivered from the power of darkness (Colossians 1:13).

So what are we doing with what we have been delivered from? It is not smart at all. The Bible calls it frustrating the grace of God (Galatians 2:21; 2 Corinthians 6:1)We have seen God as the ones that forgives all our iniquities, we need to wake to the fact that he also heals all our diseases,  redeems our lives from destruction, crowns us with lovingkindness and tender mercies and satisfies thy mouth with good things (Psalms 103:1-5). You need to believe him as such, and receive prosperity, deliverance and healing the same way you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior (Colossians  2:6). You know what, David had to remind himself. This is the same principle confirmed by Jesus and recounted in so many places in the new testament; the principle of putting to remembrance. Jesus said that one of the roles of the Holy Spirit is to bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26). In fact he (Jesus) instituted the communion and said this do in remembrance of me (Luke 22:19). Paul, Peter and Jude constantly put the church in remembrance (Hebrew 2:1; 1Timothy 4:6; Jude 5). So we need to constantly remind ourselves that we have not just been forgiven, we have been healed, made prosperous and crowned (or given authority). Hallelujah!We need to understand why we need to remember. Interestingly, even God said we should put him in remembrance (Isaiah 43:26), so putting to remembrance has something to do with our taking delivery of our covenant rights. Paul asked Timothy to stop crying and instead stir up the gift of God in him (2 Timothy 1:6). Peter told us how that is done. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance (2 Peter 1:13). Putting the scriptures together, we stir God up by putting him in remembrance (this is what praises and confessions do) and we stir up his power in us when we are put in remembrance either by others or ourselves.  You put to remembrance by speaking. Thus we are enjoined to speak to ourselves in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:18-19).

This is an important point: the same death of Jesus that took care of our sins also took care of our lack, brokenness and sicknesses. He did a complete job. He gave us a total package. Do not be satisfied with only part of it.Your miracle will appear suddenly in the name of Jesus ChristGodwin
