GRATITUDE 2

Texts: Luke 17:15-16. 

But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and with a loud voice, gave glory to God. He fell facedown at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan_ . 

Gratitude (thankfulness) is an attitude that you must intentionally cultivate. 

We live in a world where all the good virtues and morals are fast eroding, in fact, it is a common slogan that an average African does not know how to say "thank you ". But if I may add, ingratitude is not just an African fever, it's a disease that has been battling with humanity from time immemorial, and this menace has eaten deep into the fabric of human race. 

This explains the scenario we read about in our text. Before I go any further, I would like to encourage you to read all the Bible references attached in this devotion. 

The story in our text introduced us to ten lepers who out of despair cried out to Jesus for help. Jesus gave out an instruction to them, and as they set out to obey His instruction, they automatically received their healing miraculously.

Surprisingly, they all, with the exception of just one, behaved as though nothing happened, they simply moved on on their journey. 

This ingratitude didn't go unnoticed by Jesus Himself, He asked.. Where are the nine? Luke 17:17.

Today, Jesus is still demanding... "Where are the nine? " For every miracle and help you have received, are you also behaving like nothing happened? 

To move on in life's journey, seeking for more miracles, justifying your actions on the basis of legitimacy and forgetting all of His benefits is the height of ingratitude that is blocking you from receiving more of His blessings. 

You can start by learning to appreciate God for the daily provisions and protection.

Let your soul Bless the Lord Psalm 103.

 *Are you a grateful soul?*  

 *A Grateful life is a graceful life.* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. ingratitude is one of the signs of end time, ask God to deliver you from an ingratitude spirit. 

Bible reading: Mathew 10:41-42

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
