TEXT: ISAIAH 43:18-21
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
Key Verse: “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old” (Isaiah 43:18).
MESSAGE:
The brain is the source of our key mental faculties such as memory, Imagination, creativity and innovation. The brain makes up about two percent of a human’s body weight and it contains billions of nerve cells and nerve-fibers with about 1 billion neurons which combine so that each one helps with many memories at a time. Thus, the brain’s memory storage capacity is close to a million gigabytes. Despite this great memory capacity that the brain has, it can easily forget those things you care less about.
In life, we must learn to forget things like offences, old sinful habits, pains and anguish that set us back whenever we remember them. Let’s store positive things in our brains and mind so that we can live well, be a blessing and be ready for the coming of our great and glorious King and Lord Jesus Christ.
Prayer: Father, touch my heart so that I will be able to forget and forgive all who have offended me.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
