How many believers have never prayed to God and pleaded, “Remember me, oh Lord?” If you put up your hand, we may have to help deliver you from the demon of lying. We plead, cry out, and add phrases like “as you remembered Noah in the ark” or “as you remembered Hannah.” Of course, we all want God to remember us, especially if it has been a while since He did something positive in our lives.
A non-profit organization raises funds for a group of people by employing an elderly woman in its advertisement. She says she believes in God but often thinks God has forgotten her. Which of us has not been there? God seems to take His sweet time when it comes to our case. We watch Him blessing others, and we try not to be jealous or bitter. We reflect that the faith of those God insists on blessing is not as shiny as ours. But, we accept that He is God, not liable to query from us.
That is when we resort to praying, “Remember me, Oh Lord.” We might even add, “as you are blessing this neighbor of mine. They move from Bible examples to contemporary ones. And, it is a great prayer, especially to claim one of God’s promises for yourself. Did God not say that by Jesus’ stripes, we were already healed? Well, then, what is the delay in my healing? Remember me, oh Lord, we cry out.
In The Area Of Prosperity, Remember Me, Lord
Lord, you did promise prosperity to your servants. You declared in your word: “Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” So, why have you not prospered me? Remember me, Lord, as you have remembered Michael. In case you were too busy to notice, he moved into his new house last month.
You surely know that we work in the same office, on the same pay level. Yet you give him a house, and I am yet to buy my first plot of land. Why God? Please open my file the way you did Noah’s, Abraham’s, and Sarah’s. Do not forget me. Please remember me. God does not respond.
Please do not forget that we are on this journey to start accessing our miracles on a consistent, rather than random, basis. For us to get there, we have to learn facts that are not necessarily palatable. If I remember God, He will remember me. We all know that by now, because what you do for God is what He does for you. When you mind His business, He minds your business.
Why God Seems To Forget Us
So, the question is: do I keep God in mind when I want to speak? How readily do I remember God when I relate to others? If I can provide positive answers to those and similar questions, I will not have to ask God to remember me. He will do to me as I have done to Him, period.
But, I suspect that because God is invisible, we don’t remember Him when it is time to rain abusive words on someone. In that case, it is likely your “Remember me” prayer does not go beyond the ceiling. Ouch!
The verse on which we stand to claim prosperity contains the same thought. It says, “Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
Do I favor God’s righteous cause? He answers when I pray, “Remember me, Oh Lord, with prosperity. Unless you let God’s righteous cause be your concern, why would He concern Himself with your prosperity? You plead, “Remember me,” but your words fall to the ground.
You may not even identify the issues that concern God. The global situation that causes Him to grieve does not make you sorrowful. “Remember me” is an empty phrase in that scenario. I pray that God will help us to remember Him in all our actions and words, so that He will remember us.
Maranatha!
