INTRODUCTION:
In Genesis 8:1, we read, "And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged." The phrase "God remembered" is not because He forgets, but it signifies divine intervention, favour, and fulfilment of His promises. When God remembers you, it is a turning point where His mercy and power bring about a radical change in your life. This sermon explores what it means when God remembers you for help and how to position yourself for such divine remembrance.

c) A Demonstration of His Mercy and Compassion
