*INGREDIENTS OF ACCEPTABLE GRATITUDE*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  24 October 2023*


SCRIPTURE: This People draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me - *Matthew 15:8*


It is a Good thing to give Thanks to God - *Psalms 92:1*


*This means that it is evil to be Ungrateful and this evil is Prevalent in our Generation.*


Consequently, many are cut off from their Destinies. 


*In this study, we shall take a cursory look at the Ingredients of Acceptable Gratitude with a view to fulfilling our Destinies.*


The Story of the ten lepers who cried to Jesus for Mercy highlights key issues on Gratitude - *Luke 17:11-19*


*Ten of them were Cleansed but only the Samaritan returned to give Thanks. His Gratitude opened a number of Blessings to him such as:*


*(1)* Relationship with Christ Jesus.


It was Gratitude that brought him close to Jesus. Ingratitude took the other nine away from Christ - *Psalms 100:4*


*(2)* His real Identity was unveiled.


It was when he gave Thanks that the Bible says, but he was a Samaritan. Nobody knew who he was until he offered Gratitude to God.


*Ingratitude conceals our Identity in Christ Jesus.*


*(3)* He was commanded to arise. 


This is a command to move to a Higher Level in Life. 


*Gratitude empowers a man to Change levels.*


*(4)* Guarantees fulfillment of Destiny. 


Jesus said to him, 'go thy way.'


*(5)* The Grateful will end Well and Strong.


*With the aforementioned blessings, it is important to Study the Ingredients of Acceptable Gratitude.*


*Not all Gratitude is Acceptable.* 


Subsequent Studies, will open our eyes to see what we need to do to make our Gratitude effective.


*Prayer:*

Father, Please let my Gratitude not be in vain.
