Hezekiah wept.\u201d (MSG)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When we look at the story of Hezekiah in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/97\/2KI.20.2-6.MSG\">2 Kings 20:2-6<\/a> (please read), we see the thread of coming to God and reminding Him. After the Prophet had told Hezekiah to put his house in order because he was surely going to die. The Bible says Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and said to God, \u201cRemember\u2026\u201d. <!--more-->It is okay to ask God to remember. It is okay to remind God. And for someone reading this today God is saying, \u201cI have remembered you. I have heard your prayers. I have seen your tears. And I will heal you.\u201d Do you receive that today?<\/p>\n<p>Hezekiah is teaching us something powerful about going to God and saying, \u201cLord, remember\u2026 Remember your boy. If I die, who is going to praise You? Remember how I serve you faithfully.\u201d You can get to a crossroad in life where the prayers of \u201cIsaiah\u201d will not work for you. It is your prayers and the things you have accrued with God that will speak for you in remembrance of Heaven. Hezekiah could come confidently and say, \u201cLord, remember\u2026\u201d. Nehemiah did the same thing. Nehemiah said to God, \u201cGod, for the good that I have done for Your people, remember me for good.\u201d Remember me because of this good that I have done You.<\/p>\n<p>Guess what? You can go before God and say, \u201cLord, remember me for the good that I have done for Your people.\u201d However, if you haven&#8217;t put anything on the altar of sacrifice, there will be nothing to draw from. This is why serving God is so powerful. But we do not serve God with ulterior motives. We are not serving God because we want to draw on it or because we want to take advantage of situations. We are serving God because we love God. However, life happens, and\u00a0 we can go to God and say, \u201cRemember my sacrifices and how I served You faithfully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, this is why you should serve God faithfully, because there comes a time when your faithfulness will deliver you from death. Hezekiah could boldly say to God, \u201cI have served You.\u201d Can you stand before the God of Heaven, beat your chest, and say, \u201cLord, I served You faithfully.\u201d Can you do that? Let this be a challenge to you even for the remaining days of this year. Determine to make your service and faithfulness gauge before Heaven. Be determined to make your service to God tangible and weighty. So that, should there be any need for it, you will be able to go to God and say, \u201cGod, I served You faithfully and because of my faithfulness to You, oh God of Heaven, turn this situation in my favour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong>: Father, by Your Holy Spirit, help me to grow in faithfulness in all areas of my life as I walk with You daily, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
