Topic: Book of Remembrance!

Text: Malachi 3: 16

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them;So a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name. Amen

Some Israelites went about complaining about the Lord. Guess what, the Lord heard them and through His prophet Malachi He sent them a reply. “Your words have been harsh against Me, ”says the Lord, “Yet you say,‘What have we spoken against You?’ 14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners before the Lord of hosts?” (Malachi 3: 13- 14)

Yet, there was another group that feared the Lord. They too went about discussing the goodness of the Lord one unto the other and meditating on His name. The Lord listened and heard them too. THEN A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE HIM FOR THEM.

“They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts,“On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. ”18 Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him” (Malachi 3: 17- 18)

Beloved, which of the two categories do you identify with lately? Are you one of those who have served the Lord faithfully in the times past and now feel it’s all been a waste of time and effort or you definitely with those who still trust in Him to deliver?

Well, whatever your choice has been, just remember that God hears it all. Every conversation; good or bad runs directly through His Mighty EARS. Be it blasphemy, insults, unbelief, praise, honor, adoration, encouragements and gratitude. Those who honor Him are registered in the BOOK of REMEMBRANCE. He makes them HIS JEWELS. He brightens their lives with pure gold and puts laughter on their lips. He grants their request and honors them for honouring Him. Then leaves the world to discern between those who serve Him and those who do not.

Beloved, if it remains a matter of choice, then choose the Lord and be registered in the BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE-  WHERE YOUR FAITHFULNESS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Begin to pray now.
