MORNING DEW
A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WRITTEN BY REV. EKHATOR EFOSA
TOPIC: A MEMORIAL BEFORE GOD.
TEXT: Isa. 38:1-5; Matt. 26:6-13; Acts 10:1-4.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Within the context of our devotional today, a memorial is something that you have done, that is standing before God, for which God will continually remember you and your generations.
A memorial can be your sacrifice, giving, wholehearted worship, following hard after God, good-works etc.
It is that book of remembrance before God which propels Him towards your direction.
Mal. 3:16-18.
MEMORY VERSE:
" Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifices, Selah." Ps. 20:3.
INTRODUCTION:
While we are not saved by our goodworks, Eph. 2:8-9; Tit. 3:4-5, however, God expects us to engage in Kingdom service, goodworks, sacrifices, that will stand as a memorial before Him.
All through the scriptures, we see the statement ' For David's sake', which speaks of David's memorial before God. 1 Kgs. 11:32; 15:4; 2 Kgs. 19:34; Ps. 132:10.
Anything and everything good you are sincerely, honestly and wholeheartedly doing (has done) for God, His Kingdom and People, stands as a memorial before Him for you and your generations.
THINK ON THESE:
1 # David's thought and sacrifice to build the House of God stood as a memorial before God for him and his generations.
2 Sam. 7:1-16.
2 # Hezekiah's wholehearted service and walk with God stood as a memorial before God for him in the day of trouble. Isa. 38:1-5.
3 # Cornelius' prayers and alms giving, stood as a memorial before God for him and his household. Acts 10:1-4.
4 # The action of the woman who anointed our Lord Jesus Christ feet with a very expensive perfume, became a memorial before God for her for all generations.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1* Sometimes, it takes consistency and persistency for your sacrifice to stand as a memorial before God. The individual must constantly be at it for God, His Kingdom and People for such sacrifices to be worthy as a memorial before God.
2* A memorial can last for several generations and in rare cases, for perpetual generations.
3* God will always impress in your spirit-man and heart something that is dear, that can serve and stand as a memorial before Him for you and your generations.
4* A memorial before God can become a covenant platform for accessing some deep spiritual realities in your life and family.
CONCLUSION:
Strive to have a memorial before God, for yourself and your generations.
Therefore, whatever serious sacrifice that God is laying in your heart to do, please, know that if you do it, it will never be lost nor forgotten. It will surely stand as a memorial before God for you and your generations.
PRAYERS:
1 # # Father, thank you for your Word to me today. Be Glorified Lord in Jesus Name.
2 # # Father, please, help me to engage in those things that will stand as a memorial before you in Jesus Name.
3 # # Father, please, let my memorial before you become a covenant platform for my generation in Jesus Name.
GOD BLESS YOU.
It is your year of NEXT LEVEL. Prov. 4:18.
