Reminders

Reminders

1. The Value of Memories
Numbers 15:39:
39 When you see the tassels, you will remember and obey all the commands of the Lord instead of following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do.
We need to put things in front of us that remind us of good times in the past, while expanding our vision for better experiences in the future.
Be careful not say “I wish I was still that happy or I wish those days were still here.”
No, let the image sink deep down inside you.
Don’t let good things God has done in your life slip away.
To produce it on the outside, you must first picture it on the inside.
Rev 12:11 and they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony.
A testimony is someone giving an account of something they remember. Example a witness is called to give a testimony of what they may have seen or witnessed.
We need to give testimony of what all Christ has done on our behalf. We defeat the enemy by our testimonies.
If God did it once for you He will do it again.

2. Keep Gods Word Visible
Deuteronomy 6:6-9:
6 And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. 7 Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. 8 Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
To build yourself up spiritually and keep you filled with faith, you may benefit from decorating your home with Scriptures.
On the bathroom mirror or where ever you get dressed place scriptures such as “ I can do all things through Christ” or “ this is the day the Lord has made”.
Place on your refrigerator a reminder that “God always causes me to triumph”.
At the door, place the truth “Gods favor is surrounding me like a shield” or “Goodness and mercy are following you today”.
Put up things that help remind you to have a big vision for your life.

3. Renew Your Attitude
Matthew 9:17:
17 “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the old skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New wine is stored in new wineskins so that both are preserved.”
Have you assumed that you’ve reached your limits in life?
Sad to say, you are right… unless you are willing to change your thinking and start believing for something bigger.
When Jesus wanted to encourage His followers to enlarge their vision, He reminded them, You cant put new wine into old wineskins”.
He was saying that you cannot have a larger life with restricted attitudes..
Today, will you stretch your faith and vision and get rid of those old negative mind-sets that are holding you back?
