HEART OF GRATITUDE

By -

 The Scripture talks about the ten lepers who were healed by Jesus, but only one of them came back to give thanks to the Lord. His faith was recorded to have made him whole (Luke 17:11-19). Showing gratitude is an act of faith, which means you have faith in the person and know that they have the capacity to do more. 

The kindness and provision of God, as well as His love, grace, mercy, protection, and healing, are taken for granted by many of us, believing it is our own power or entitlement, causing us to not thank God enough or at all, just as the remaining nine lepers. If we could do this to God, who is Almighty and our creator, we wouldn't have any problem doing it to our fellow humans either. There are those who don't express gratitude to those who helped or did something for them, and they will even ask for another in the future. God wants to be thanked. Your gratitude is something he desires for you to demonstrate. Scripture says in Psalm 107:1, Psalm 136:1, and Psalm 118:1, 'Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endures forever.' Jesus asked in Luke 17:17-18, 'Didn't I heal ten men?' Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”. We are now in the eleventh month of the year and there have been many things that have transpired since it began. Being here and standing today is a privilege. Praise God for His work. Don't take it for granted. Stop whining about what does not work and show appreciation for what does. He is God and our creator. He knows what we need and will surely supply them according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).

THE END MAY COME SUDDENLY

By -

  Bodija, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria experienced a sudden explosion that caused some people to lose their lives unprepared. According to the Scripture, Christ will come back without any prior notice, just like a thief in the night. You might be pondering that it's been a long time since people talked about His second coming, but He hasn't made an appearance yet. In the event of your sudden death, do you have a chance of eternity in heaven? Can you boast that your final destination won't be a place of torment? Jesus came into this world to give you life and make it more abundant (John 10:10). God sent Him to make it possible for anyone who believes in Him to have eternal life (John 3:16). Nothing you acquire in this world can compare to the eternity in heaven. What's the benefit of gaining the whole world but losing your soul? (Mark 8:36).  Don't be caught napping. Accept Christ as your Lord and Savior today and secure your eternal home.

FREE INDEED

 Upon arrival at the site, I noticed a dove tied down by one of my employees. When I requested its release, he stated his intention to sell it. After asking for the price, he informed me, and I asked him to release the bird, which he did, and then I paid for it.  The Scripture says “When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.” Romans 5:6. By paying the price with his precious blood, Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be set free and welcome into God's family. Ephesians 1:5 “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”  Our new status as His slaves necessitates us to do His pleasure and avoid taking things for granted. Romans 6:22 say “But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life”.  We are free from condemnation

YOU STILL HAVE ACT IT OUT (THE MARVELOUS JOURNEY)

After viewing the documentary on Giannis Sina Ugo Adetokumpo titled ‘ The Marvelous Journey ’ from Prime Video. I was reflecting on how he grew up in a slum in Greece and achieved success as a basketball player for  Milwaukee Bucks  in NBA and his country. I inquired with God, 'Have you composed all of that?', The answer was, "Yes, but you still have to execute it." I recalled the vigorous practice, workout, discipline, and deep love for God and his family. Having a script written for you by the producer is not enough; you must show up and perform your role. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might” (Ecclesiastes 9 : 10). It's possible for you to be chosen to bring your family out of poverty, just like Giannis, or do some great things, but if you don't rise to the occasion. Someone else will be chosen by God. Remember, King Saul was replaced by little David just because of his disobedience. 1 Samuel 13:14 “But now your kingdom must end, for th
