TOPIC : THE POWER OF THANKSGIVING .
LUKE 17:13-17
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
Thanksgiving is not a prelude to prayer.
Thanksgiving is one of the vital keys for the release of supernatural.
An understanding of it's place in winning the battles of this life will always give you cheap victory.
Let me quickly state that thanksgiving is not the occasional and spontaneous acknowledgement of a blessing nor the singing of praises and the clapping of hands.
It is rather a lifestyle of gratitude to God for His goodness towards us in all circumstances.
It is your last thank you that qualifies you for your next blessing.
Ingratitude ensures that our lives remain as dry as deserts.
In our anchor scriptures, Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one returned to say thank you.
The fact that Jesus asked the one that returned, "were they not ten that were healed?" Is indicative of the fact that Jesus expected the rest to return to His and say thank you.
Have you said thank you today for your last blessing?
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled week in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
