Post date: Dec 6, 2019 4:46:05 AM

“The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then the Lord rained down brimstone and fire on Sodom and on Gomorrah from the Lord out of heaven, and He overthrew ended those cities, and the entire valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and whatever grew on the ground. But Lot’s wife, from behind him looked back toward Sodom in an act of disobedience and she became a pillar of salt. Abraham started out early the next morning to the place where he only the day before had stood before the Lord and He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley of the Dead Sea, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a pottery furnace. Now when God ravaged and destroyed the cities of the plain of Siddim, He remembered Abraham and for that reason and He sent Abraham’s nephew, Lot out of the midst of the destruction, when He destroyed the cities in which Lot had lived.” Genesis 19:23-29

God had told Abraham earlier that He would destroy Soddom and Gomorrah and everything and everyone in it and Abraham had pleaded for Lot and all the righteous who were living there, In His love and in His words, God promised not to destroy the righteous with the wicked and on that date and time, God carried out His words and did as promised. Before the destruction began, Lot had been righteous before God and every one knew that even though the place was filled with wicked people, doing wicked things, people whose only desire was to follow their own imaginations and thoughts irrespective of the words of God on the issue in question, the second is that Lot had some guest and he was pressured by the people to allow them access to the guest, so they can carry out their wicked desires, and third, they refused to accept Lot’s alternative and refused to leave the house of Lot. When the devil increases pressure on the righteous to do evil or to abandon the word of God and follow their evil imaginations, thoughts, and action, God will not in any way allow them to succeed, He will act.

When the destruction began, God did not forget the righteous, He did not forget abandon His words and promises to Abraham, He did not forget Lot and his righteousness and his family. God did not forget the prayers of Abraham and did not allow the wicked the to escape. To fulfill His words and promises, God remembered Lot and rescued him, his family, and did not allow the destruction to touch them. God has a plan for your rescue, He has a plan for your blessings, He has a plan to reward your righteousness and faithfulness and obedience, and there is no pressure from hell, no pressure from any man living or dead, and there is no pressure from the wicked that will force God to change His mind concerning you, change His plans for your life and change the terms of His covenant with you through Christ Jesus.

The increase in brutality, the increase in accusation, the increase in condemnation, the increase in insults, the increase in isolation, the increase in pains, and the increase in loneliness does not in any way mean God had forgotten or abandon you, but as a believing Christian standing firm on His word and in Him, trusting God for His promises, knowing His faithfulness and never giving up on Him, it is a sign that God is closer to you and you have to draw yourself closer to Him; it means your happy day of freedom is closer as it was for the children of Israel and you have to be prepared, and it means the time and moment for you to see God’s mighty hand in action in your case and in your life is coming soon. That was what the children Israel, that was what He did to Lot and his children and that is what He will do for you. In God remembering you, I want you to note that unusual things will start happening. When God remembered Israel in Egypt, unusual things started happening to them, He sent Moses, He hardened Pharoah heart, He made the Egyptians increase their labor and suffering, the people put pressure on Lot to allow them access to his guest which was contrary to his righteous practices and believes.
