RETURNING THANKS

RETURNING THANKS
Returning thanks is expressing appreciation and gratitude. It is a new month. Many started this year with us, but they are no more, we give glory to GOD because it is by His mercies that we are not consumed. We might have passed through a lot, but GOD’s mercy has kept us thus far. We might have faced a lot of difficulties, confrontations, challenges but GOD’s grace and mercies has sustained us. Let’s give praise to whom praises is due. Let’s show gratitude and appreciation to GOD. When there is life, there is hope. You have hope; I have hope because I am still living and not dead. Only the living can praise GOD, the dead cannot. Lamentations 3 vs. 21-23: This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. GOD is faithful thus far, return thanks for His faithfulness. GOD delights in a thankful heart. Many show ingratitude towards GOD. Many sleep at night and wake up the next morning complaining or grumbling. No one knows when he really sleeps and yet we see the breaking of another day and don’t show gratitude to our Maker. It is a common thing in the world today; many see sleeping and waking up as a normal routine that must occur. Some wanted to sleep, but can’t sleep; some slept and never woke up. As a believer, when you wake up early in the morning; the first thing to do is to return thanks to GOD; for He is responsible for your sleeping and seeing another breaking of the day. Men are insatiable, they cannot be satisfied. Many have food but cannot eat; many can eat but have no food, many have food and can eat but still complain about something. Whether the situation is bad we are to show gratitude to GOD, whether it is good we are to return thanks to GOD.  The bible said in 1 Thessalonians 5 vs. 18:  In everything give thanks:  for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. How do you feel when you did something tangible for someone, and he refused to express appreciation or gratitude?

                       However, only one leper returned thanking GOD out of ten lepers healed by JESUS. Only grateful believers grow in the understanding of GOD’s grace. Luke 17 vs. 12-19:  And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show 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? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way:  thy faith hath made thee whole. JESUS asked where are the nine? Are you among the nine? The nine will ask and they will be given, but will refuse to return thanks. The nine will knock a door and it will open, but they will refuse to return thanks to the door opener. The nine will seek and they shall find, but will refuse to return thanks to GOD. No matter your present situation, return thanks to GOD for what He has done before, what he will do and what he will keep doing. I return thanks to GOD on behalf of all readers on this platform, may His praises never cease in our lips. Happy New Month!!!

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED.

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED To be faithful is to be reliable, worthy of trust and consistent with reality. A faithful man pledges and might later be unfaithful. For instance, couples make vows at the altar during their wedding, but these vows don’t stop the man or woman from breaking promises and vow. A married man finds himself cheating outside marriage despite all vows made during his wedding, because he is not faithful. You find cheating outside marriage is a common thing now, which shouldn’t be. Husbands drink from your own well, stick to her and figure out things by praying together. Wives drink from your own well, stick to him no matter what he has done. A man is not the faithful who had promised, because men fails and break their promise. Only GOD is the faithful who had promised. The bible said cursed be he that put his trust in the arm of flesh. The arm of flesh will surely fail. You been promised something by your uncle or aunt doesn’t guarantee you will be given the th...
