Topic; Being rooted in him & Overflowing with thankfulness
Scripture: Colossians 2:6-7
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."
* People rarely thank or take time to thank.
*Luke 17:11-19
As a Christian you need to overflow with Thanksgiving
Drawing from Luke 17:11-19, where only one of the ten healed l***rs returned to thank Jesus, we learned that gratitude is not just a response—it is an act of worship, praise, and adoration towards our God and Lord. (Vs 15&16)
Key Takeaways:
• Christians are called to overflow with thanksgiving.
• Thanksgiving is an expression of worship, praise, and adoration to God.
• Like the healed l***r, it is good to return and give thanks to the Lord. (Vs 15)
• A thankful heart recognizes God's hand in every blessing and circumstance.
Sometimes we partially thank God. But God wants us to thank him for everything..
Priority number 1 when it comes to giving thanks should be to God.
Don't forget of the Lords goodness and to thank the Lord.
Familiarity makes us not be thankful. in all circumstances give thanks (1Thes 5:18)
Psalms 104:4 - Thanksgiving should be part of us.
