REMEMBER THE LORD YOUR GOD

REMEMBER THE LORD YOUR GOD


“And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” (Deuteronomy 8:18, NKJV).

“Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,

Before the difficult days come,

And the years draw near when you say,

“ I have no pleasure in them”:” (Ecclesiastes 12:1, NKJV).

What do you put your youthful energy into?

Some of us are obsessed with the things we see, and/or hear.

We dedicate our time to things that should not matter, or worse, things we should not even do.

Why not remember the Lord your God in the days of your Youth?

God chose to listen to you and granted you admission, would you not also chose to listen to Him?

Scarcely would you successfully outsmart your fellow man, can you outwit God?

And you shall remember the Lord your God for it is He who gives power to make wealth.

It is not such a nice idea to forget God simply because we feel we have what we wanted, or because we are in a foreign land.

You will still need God to write your exams, be there for you in your Job Interview, bless your marriage, heal your sickness, give you contracts.

My brothers and sisters will you keep remembering God only when we are in troubles?

Is it not possible that these problems keep coming simply because it is only in problems we remember God?

Would you prefer to serve God at old age?

You cannot tell your fate; you say you will return to God after you have enjoyed; but what If you never get to return?

What if you die in the course of enjoying these things?

More readily would one attend church/fellowship activities than doing God’s commands.

Remember also that at old age, the pleasures of life seem to be diminished, your strength seems to fail, and even the ability to do many things seem to be lacking.

Would you then under this condition work so passionately and effectively for God?

Some of us prayed so earnestly to God for the admission we now have, many of these prayers did not end without promises of faithfulness to God.
