FAVOURED greetings, Cherished one. One day, Jesus encountered ten lepers during His earthly ministry. Listen to how these men approached Jesus “And they lifted their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us” (Luke 17:13). When they needed a miracle they called Him Jesus and Master and asked for His mercy. But after the miracle, their attitude was so different except only one. Well, these folks were not born again, yet they believed in the healing power of Jesus Christ. Yes, some people value what you can do (ability) or can offer (your gifts) but not necessarily value your personality.
Jesus never kept quiet on their ungrateful attitude. To His amazement, He quizzed ” And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? Luke 17:17). The nine were ungrateful to Jesus. Ungratefulness is a wrong attitude that Jesus will always question, even today. Ungratefulness can close your next door of opportunity. One cause of ungratefulness stems from trivializing matters. To trivialize means to make something appear insignificant or to attach matters with little importance”. In other words, ignoring matters as if they they are without value. This is an error and inconsistent with godliness in the Kingdom of God.
Pray and thank God for His matchless love and provisions towards you. Reach out and say “thank you” to anyone God has used as a vessel to help you.
SALVATION ALERTYou are not safe until you are saved. Believe in Jesus Christ Now, if you haven’t.
