Lest we Forget...


By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

 Deut. 8:18 – “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day”

Ponder this…what if, God forbid, you woke up tomorrow & you were unable to move your hands and legs. You couldn’t go to that job, school or business?

What if, you eventually lost that job or the business collapsed due to your inability to attend to them?  Then, you’d remember God, your heavenly Father, to fast & pray to.

You’d now start praying for health, strength & power…to go to your job/business to make wealth. But while you had the power & health, did you remember to thank your God; obey, wor-ship and honor Him with your wealth & sub-stance?

Did you pay your tithe, in obedience to His command? Just 10% to His storehouse and you keep 90% for yourself.

Or you’d rather He took His power from you, so you can still pay your 0% tithe but now keep 0% for yourself?

God constantly had to re-mind His people not to overlook His goodness to them and the same applies to us.

The ultimate source of everything is God, even the power & strength to go out & get wealth. “…In Him we live, we move and have our being…” from Him come all other things. If you forget your source, you will also be forgotten.

A river that forgets its source will dry up. We will not be forgotten nor dry up, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed. Shalom.
