One characteristic attribute of our father in heaven is that He remembers details of the past, present and future events. For this reason, it is dangerous to be part of bad event, because He will surely remember. The good is that He will surely remember your good works too.
Esther 6:1-12 (NIV)
1 That night the king could not sleep; so he ordered the book of the chronicles, the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him.
2 It was found recorded there that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s officers who guarded the doorway, who had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 “What honor and recognition has Mordecai received for this?” the king asked. “Nothing has been done for him,” his attendants answered.
4 The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to speak to the king about impaling Mordecai on the pole he had set up for him.
5 His attendants answered, “Haman is standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” the king ordered.
6 When Haman entered, the king asked him, “What should be done for the man the king delights to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Who is there that the king would rather honor than me?”
7 So he answered the king, “For the man the king delights to honor,
8 have them bring a royal robe the king has worn and a horse the king has ridden, one with a royal crest placed on its head.
9 Then let the robe and horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them robe the man the king delights to honor, and lead him on the horse through the city streets, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!’ ”
10 “Go at once,” the king commanded Haman. “Get the robe and the horse and do just as you have suggested for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything you have recommended.”
11 So Haman got the robe and the horse. He robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city streets, proclaiming before him, “This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!”
12 Afterward Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief,
Esther 6:1-12 narrates a good example of remembrance of good work. On the night before the day when Haman intended to get the King's permission to hang Mordecai, the God who remembers and compensate good deeds took sleep away from the eyes of king Ahasuerus and he could not sleep, no matter how hard he tried.
Naturally when a person cannot sleep, he or she will try to find something to do. The Lord used this to lead Ahasuerus the king to open the book of records for Mordecai's sake. The king found in it that Mordecai had been instrumental to foiling an assassination plot against him. He then asked the question, what honor and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this?
There is one fundamental lesson that everyone must learn here, the lesson is that it is imperative to always remember every good deeds that people do to us. Also, God will compel man, even when they are not willing to bless you for your good deeds.
The interesting aspect of Mordecai's story is that the fellow who wanted to get permission to kill him came into the palace court just at the time to be used by the king in honoring this same Mordecai. May your enemy become your stepping stone to glory in Jesus name.
I just want to encourage you all to be addicted to good works. God will surely remember
Romans 12:9 (NIV)
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
