TEXT : LUKE 17:11- 19


11.KJV:And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12.KJV:And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13.KJV:And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14.KJV:And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15.KJV:And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16.KJV:And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17.KJV:And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18.KJV:There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19.KJV:And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

MESSAGE

The reason why we don't always thank God is that we felt that its our right to receive all He has done for us.
When we receive it we don't thank God and when we don't have it, we won't be happy with God( because we felt,thought,believed that is our right to have it).which is wrong.
There's nothing we have in this world that is not given to us by God's mercy and grace on us.

BENEFITS DERIVED FROM APPRECIATION

1.An appreciation to God is an application for more.
The children of this world(unbelievers) knows how to give thanks to one another in this world(in their own crook,wise,shrewed&cunning way- Luke 16: that's why they receive more blessing from one another in this world.
** Can we imagine the blessing we will receive in God? If will can always cultivate(enhance,develop) the habit of thanksgiving(Praising Him for who He is,and thanking(appreciating) Him what He has done for us.
2.When the LORD blesses us and His blessing increases,empowers us to live more comfortable, God is also expecting us to increase the level of our appreciation to Him.
Deut.8:10 NIV:When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

ACTION POINT
** When you appreciate The LORD your GOD,Parents,Elders and Friends you'll receive more blessing.
** When you don't appreciate, for what God and people do for you, then your life starts decreasing,degrading and decomposing.
** Appreciation is a Spirit and we must all desire that Spirit.

PRAYER

Father fill me with the Spirit of Thanksgiving (Appreciation) in Jesus Name (Amen).
