THEN BEWARE LIST THOU FORGET THE LORD, WHICH BROUGHT THEE FORTH OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, FROM THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE. DEUTERONOMY 6:12
Before the Israelites entered into the promised land, Moses took some time to remind them of all that they had gone through, all their travails in the land of Egypt, and how God in His mercy and faithfulness listened to their cry and delivered them in very simple and clear terms what God expected of them. He told them, "You are going to a better place, where you will enjoy life and eat the fruit of your labour. God will give you all round blessing. When that happens, do not forget Him. "When people are passing through trials and challenges of life, it is easy for them to remain focused on God. They fast, pray, make vows and are committed in all church activities. But as soon a God grants their requests and prosper them, they find "Very good" reasons why they no longer have time for the things of God. Some even used their children as an excuse not to be in the house of God or have time to do what they used to do for God before God gave them the fruit of the womb. They forget it is God that has given them power and good health to get wealth.
Whatever God gives us remains is property because the earth is His and everything in it. (Psalm 24:1). We did not create anything. His purpose is for us to use all He has given us to serve Him and be a blessing to others. Instead of allowing your accomplishments in life to draw you away from God, let them draw you closer to Him (God) as you acknowledged His greatness and faithfulness towards you. It is dangerous to forget your source. That will not be your portion in Jesus name.
