MONUMENTAL REMINDERS
by Prophetess BN Bondera
Josh.4.2 - "Now choose twelve men, one from each tribe.
Josh.4.3 - Tell the men to take twelve stones from where the priests are standing in the middle of the Jordan and pile them up at the place where you camp tonight."
When the Israelites crossed the red sea, they failed to come up with anything that would testify or prove that with God they had passed through the dry bottom of a sea. They only had the word of their mouth which quickly faded away.
This i belive was the reason why the miracle at the red sea failed to inspire them when faced with new difficulties or challenges along the way. They had nothing physical that reminded them of how faithful God was to them, something that would remind and inspire them to belive in God whilst in their current situation and challenges.
An error that most people do, when God blesses or rescues you from serious life challenges or phases, they fail to build monumental reminders not for their own glory but for proof record and testimony of the wonder God did while they were in an insurmountable situation or challenge. Memories quickly fade away, hence fomer mighty miracles will seize to be great in our minds as time progresses, thereby they won't motivate or build our faith in God when faced with new problems.
A house is one such monument, a wedding ring can be proof enough. Buying a car in such a dry economy, surely is a Jordan stone to prove God's hand. When God heals you, gives you a job why cann't you buy even a single chair or decor for the church. In years to come it will stand as a reminder to you that God who once did it, is still able.
TODAY'S MEDITATION
Exod.13.16 - Again I say, this ceremony will be like a mark branded on your hands or your forehead. It is a visible reminder that it was the LORD who brought you out of Egypt with great power."
SOMEBODY SAY
REMINDERS OF HIS POWER
