*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.

EVOLVE OR DISSOLVE 2 AND DO YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE?

  *EVOLVE OR DISSOLVE 2 AND DO YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE*?                                     Another reason many have dissolved or gone extinct is that the visionary is unwilling to stretch.   They are not flexible or willing to change their ways; they prefer to stay the same. They don't want to be bothered with having to learn new things, meet new people, do it differently, or add a new twist to it.   It may even entail spending more money, and you may even risk losing money, clients, or staff.   Stretching entails a great deal; it challenges your brain, alters your thinking, is demanding, and entails a new level of commitment and responsibilities.   They are afraid of confronting new challenges because it is like starting over.Maybe you should be told that the world is no longer in its primitive state; it has grown beyond where it was when you arrived.    As it grows, things wear out and new things emerge because those who came before you accepted the challenge. They took

He Positioned himself where Jesus was Passing and was made Whole - *Mark. 10:46-52* Zacchaeus would have died a sinner but for his Positioning. He Positioned himself where he would see Jesus, he climbed a Sycamore tree. Jesus entered into hi

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                                *THE SEA IS NOT FULL* *By Pastor E O Gabriel  18 March 2024* SCRIPTURE: All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the Place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again - *Ecclesiastes 1:7* *The sea is never full because from whence the rivers come, there they return again.* *The water Cycle otherwise known as the Hydrologic Cycle involves the continuous flow of water from the Earth to the Atmosphere. It is a never Ending Cycle.* The Bible says, cast thy bread upon the waters, for after many days thou shall find it again - *Ecclesiastes 11:1* *Many Inferences to draw:* *(1)* Living is Seeding. Whatever a man does is a Seed that grows and comes back to him - *Galatians 6:7* *(2)* The Wicked shall not be Unpunished - *Proverbs 11:21* *(3)* He that labours, labours for himself.  Every Good you do, you do for yourself because God the Rewarder will reward you according as y
