INGRATITUDE

DATE: OCTOBER 4, 2021

TOPIC: INGRATITUDE

BIBLE TEXT: NUMBERS 11 VS 4 – And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, who shall give us flesh to eat?


Ingratitude simply means a lack or the absence of gratitude (thanklessness). The children of Israel displayed a high level of ingratitude towards God. Instead of thanking the Lord for their lives, breath, health, victories over slavery, poverty, torments and shame – they chose to pay the Lord with complaints and disgust. They started lusting after the flesh, seeking various ways of eating gluttonously and unhealthy diets. Numbers 11 vs. 5-6 – ‘we remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers and the melons, and the leeks (edible vegetables), and the onions and the garlics; but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

The children of Israel showed not only ingratitude, but disdain. They despised the manna that God sent from Heaven. There are so many Christians out there in the world that show ingratitude towards their Maker. You are not satisfied with ‘the blessings of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow’, many prefer the luxury of the flesh and lust and the multiple sorrow they bring than the peace from God. Our Heavenly Father has never failed in His fatherly duties and will never fail, he told this via the Holy Spirit in Apostle Paul through the Book of Philippians 4 vs. 6 – ‘but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God’. Have you been praying scripturally? Change your ways of approach to God and start every request with thanksgiving, our God is not a wicked One, HE cares.


Prayer: Heavenly Father, please forgive my ingratitude, I owe you everything.

Insight: Ingratitude will only attract God’s wrath, so give thanks always.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
