The first basic principle of kingdom prosperity is to remember. What is about to happen to you in the coming days may be so significant that it tempts you to forget where God brought you from and the people He used in your journey. That is why God places great emphasis on remembrance.
Every level of prosperity God introduces you to is, in many ways, a test. The blessing is not merely a reward; it is an introduction to greater possibilities. What you receive today may seem extraordinary, yet in God’s plan it could simply be an entry point into a much larger realm.
The million dollars you celebrate today may become your tithe tomorrow if you remain faithful and do not forget. The amount that appears large to you now may one day become a normal occurrence—daily, weekly, or monthly. The question is not whether God can increase you; the question is whether you will remember when He does.
Will you still remember the people God used to guide you? Will you still remember your pastor, your spiritual parents, your mentors and those who stood with you when no one else did? Will you remember the teachings, prayers and sacrifices that contributed to your growth?
Kingdom prosperity is not measured only by what comes into your hands but also by what remains in your heart. Prosperity should never produce forgetfulness. You do not have to lose your memory because your status has changed. Never forget that someone was good to you at a certain point in your life. Never forget the vessels God used to bless, teach, correct and uplift you.
Remembrance is a kingdom principle. Those who remember position themselves for greater trust, greater stewardship and greater increase. As God prospers you, guard your heart against forgetfulness, for gratitude and remembrance are keys that unlock lasting kingdom prosperity.
