INTRODUCTION

God’s remembrance is not mere thought; it is divine action. When He remembers His own, He intervenes in human circumstances to restore, preserve, and fulfil His purposes. After the flood, God remembered Noah, and the waters began to recede, demonstrating His faithfulness.

Often, believers face long seasons of delay, trials, or seeming abandonment. Yet, God’s remembrance is perfect in timing. He acts not according to human schedules but according to His divine plan. The moment God remembers, breakthrough and change occur.

This message encourages believers to trust in God’s timing, knowing that He never forgets those who are His. God’s remembrance secures preservation, provision, and the unfolding of destiny.
