SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY EXCERPTS || PICTURE HIGHLIGHTS
TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING THANKSGIVING 2
We gained deep entrance into God's Word today on understanding thanksgiving as God's servant Pastor Samuel Ayokunle Moses demystified thanksgiving sharing with God's people the relationship between THOUGHTS AND THANKS.
A thinker is a thanker. You have to be thoughtful to be thankful. You cannot really begin to thank God without first being thoughtful of his wonderful deeds in our lives by his grace and tender mercies. Thanksgiving first begins with meditation. You have to ponder on God's goodness towards you. True thanksgiving begins from the heart before the lips are engaged. It takes thoughtfulness to be thankful. The psalmist said " on thy wondrous work will I meditate". Thoughtfulness makes us thank God for the known and unknown, seen and unseen, done and undone, little and big things.
*That You woke up today is because God's grace and mercy covers you for so many slept and could not wake up last night.
* That could eat today is because God's grace and mercy covers you for so many have mouth and food to eat but needs medical aid and machine to eat with.
* That you breathe is because God's grace and mercy covers you for so many have nose but cannot breathe accept by medical aid.
* That you can excrete is because God's grace and mercy covers you for so many are alive but cannot excrete independently without medical assistance.
* That you can walk, hear and see is because God's grace and mercy covers you for so many are alive have the same legs, ears and eyes but cannot walk, hear and see.
* That you took drugs and was healed is because God's grace and mercy covers you for healing is of the Lord. Many took that same drug and their case did not get any better.
And the list goes on...
Thus the question: Why aren't we thankful?
Believers are to quick to complain, murmur and see what God has not done. We are too forgetful and take things for granted. We want big things ( millions) before we thank God. Truth is, if you can't thank God for the little things, you can't thank Him for the big things either.
TAKE - HOME: Forgetfulness is detrimental to Christian faith and receiving anything from God. Thoughtfulness and Thanksgiving is it's remedy. Make your choice wisely.
