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...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
