Man is susceptible to forgetting what the Lord has done in times past, God commanded the children of Israel to never forget Him, His ways and His works (Deuteronomy 8:18, Exodus 20:8, Psalm 105:5-6).

May you and your children never forget God or what He has done for you in Jesus’ Name. Not only do altars of memorial bring us to remember what God has done in the past, they also bring God to remember His promises and covenant with His people, especially when they are at crossroads.

After securing victory over the Amalekites, Moses built an altar for the peculiar reason started in Exodus 17:15-16

15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:

16 For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

Generations after, we see God remembering what He had sworn to do against the Amalekites. 1 Samuel 15:2 says:

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.

I pray that God will remember His covenant and promises to you today in Jesus’ Name.

Beloved, as Christians, we need to build memorial altars. One classic example of a memorial altar is the altar of the Holy Communion our Lord Jesus Christ instructed us to continually partake of it in remembrance of Him.

When we do this, we remind Him of His finished work on the cross of Calvary, and this activates His power against anything that negates this finished work in our lives.

Do you partake of this meal? Do you call to remembrance the death and resurrection of our Lord in your home by sharing this meal with your family?

If you have not been doing so, begin to do it from today and watch God arise to enforce His covenant over your life.

Open Heaven 18 November 2018 Hymn 11

O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure

Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth receive her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the
night
Before the rising sun.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

O God. Our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life
Shall last,
And our external home
