-
You're listening to a message to go from acts church.
-
We hope this message will light up your.
-
Tea, raise the Lord. So what do we know and
-
what do we need to know about gratitude? Right, let's
-
look to Exodus fifteen twenty two, reading from verse twenty
-
two to twenty seven. Now, the best way to learn
-
gratitude is to learn it from the most ungrateful people
-
who ever listed in the Bible. And you know whose
-
people that was His people? You know that God's people
-
was probably the most ungrateful, the most ungrateful bunch you
-
can ever come across. So you want to learn gratefulness,
-
well you're going to learn it from an ungrateful people. Okay.
-
So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they
-
went out into the world. Sure, and they went three
-
days in the wilderness and found no water. Now when
-
they came to Mara, angry. When they came to Angry. Now,
-
when they came to Mara, they could not drink the
-
waters of Mara, for they were bitter. Therefore the name
-
of it was called Mara. I just want you to
-
know that this was about, if I'm not mistaken. Less
-
than two weeks after they had left Egypt, all right,
-
It was less than two weeks. And in about two
-
weeks they came to this place and they had no water,
-
and the people complained against Moses, saying, what shall we drink?
-
So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord
-
showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters,
-
the waters were made sweet. You know, you and I
-
do not believe in a god who is shorthanded. You
-
and I, we do not believe in a God who
-
is unable to see something happen in our life. There
-
are few ways to get things happening in our life.
-
And if you look at what the children of Israel did,
-
God give them one chance. You know this very first
-
time that they complained against Moses because they thought they
-
were complaining against Moses. But who asked Moses to get
-
the people out of Egypt? It was God. Hey, if
-
I was Moses, I would stay where I was, man,
-
why not? But I see a burning bush? And then
-
this God, whom I meet for the first time, tells
-
me you go and get them out. So now, when
-
the people were saying and complain against Moses, you led
-
us to a place where there's no water. Who were
-
they complaining against They were complaining against God. See you
-
and I, when we work for the Lord, who are
-
we deputized by? We're deputies. We wear badgers, deputies, you know,
-
your deputy of the Lord. Who is your authority? Your
-
authority is God? Under Whose service? Are you and I?
-
Under God's service? When someone comes against us? Are they
-
coming against us when we are serving the Lord? You
-
and I got it wrong. They are not coming against us.
-
They are coming against the authority that God has given us.
-
So who is going to be there to take care
-
of it? It's God? So relax men, I'm just starting
-
off by telling you in twenty twenty five, relax, if
-
some every one comes against you when you are doing
-
the right thing under the leading and guidance of God Almighty,
-
let God handle it. Let God handle it. That is
-
not the message. That is just a teaser. Okay, continuing it.
-
Then He made a statute and an ordinance with them,
-
and there he tested them. So the very first complaint,
-
God did not rebuke them. Do you notice that there
-
was no rebuke from the Lord. He just why you
-
want to complain? It's so easy for me, Hey, Moses,
-
you see that tree, Just take that tree and throw
-
into the water. It's going to be fine, and the
-
water from bitter became sweet. Have you tasted sweet water before?
-
Has anyone tasted sweet water before? I'm not talking soft drinks, Okay,
-
I tell you. It was about maybe three or four
-
years back. We had this X Men war and we
-
had to We went on this track. Okay. It was
-
somewhere near Hulu, somewhere past Umpunk. I don't ask me.
-
I can't even remember the name. All I know is
-
we parked a car there and then we had to
-
track up the hill, which was about two kilometers up,
-
and it was streams and water everywhere and broken branches
-
and trees. So it wasn't an easy track. And at
-
that time it was about forty pounds ago, and you know,
-
I had to track additional weight up. And I'm telling you,
-
by the time I reached the top, in fact, I
-
didn't think I was going to make it. I did
-
not think I was going to make it to the top.
-
When I got to the top, I was dead tired.
-
I felt they were going to carry me out in
-
a stretcher. That's how tired I was. I was complet
-
gone and I didn't have a bottle of water with me.
-
And here we were at the top with these nice rocks,
-
and we're sitting on these rocks, and I saw this water.
-
This water was so clear, it looked so clean. Don't
-
ever do this, because I realized after I did it
-
that it was a bad thing to do. But I
-
drank this water. I promise you it was the sweetest
-
water I'd never did. The water tasted sweet, and it
-
was so cool, and it was so refreshing. And with
-
that water I made it down the hill without being
-
on a stretcher. And only later I realized that if
-
you drink water from a stream, you can get laptos pyrosis.
-
So don't ever do what I did. But praise the Lord.
-
He preserved me. So yes, God is able to make
-
bitter water sweet. So he made a statue in an audience,
-
an ordinance for them, and he what did he do?
-
He tested them. Hey, guys, realize in twenty twenty five,
-
when things don't go right, I dare say, everything is
-
a test. Everything is a test. Every situation you face
-
is a test, a test for what the Lord the
-
word and said. If you diligently heed the voice of
-
the Lord your God and do what is right in
-
his sight. Give you to his commandments, and keep all
-
the statutes. I will put none of the diseases on
-
you which I have brought on the Egyptians, for I
-
am the Lord who heals you. The very first testing
-
that they had, they failed. But you know God did
-
not rebuke them, and God did not say you failed.
-
He just said I tested them. They missed the man.
-
But if they were to take heed to what I'm saying,
-
look at the miracle that I've done. Man, just have
-
a look at it. Bitter was made sweet with but
-
a tree being thrown in the water. If you can
-
remember that and do everything, heed my voice, listen to me,
-
do what is right in his side. Listen and do.
-
Listen and don't do don't cut it. Listen and do again.
-
Give yer, which means listen. Second time he is saying,
-
listen and keep all. Keep all is a doing of
-
what you hear. So you listen and you do. If
-
you listen and you do, you're gonna be healed. So
-
Pastor Stephen was just saying, I fixed a lot of
-
things because I listened to the Lord and he tells
-
me what to do. I'll give you an update. Okay,
-
I'll tell you what's happening. Now. My washing machine started
-
to shudder and make noise like nobody's business. It looked
-
like the washing machine was going to fly off. That's
-
how bad it was. It actually moved about one foot
-
in one cycle ball and I thought, oh no, it's gone.
-
I have to get a new washing machine. And then
-
I heard the Lord say it's the absorbers. Washing machine
-
got absorbers, Yes, got absorbers. So I went into the internet.
-
I did some research and I fund, yeah, it has absorbers.
-
You know how much the absorber is? Twenty eight ring it?
-
I need two fifty six ring it. So now I'm
-
going to take my washing machine apart and fix it.
-
So I'll give you an update because I heeded the
-
voice of the Lord. So then they came to Ilimb.
-
Now after this, they came to Ilimp and there were
-
twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees, and they
-
came there by the waters. This is what God is
-
showing you. I am able to give you peace, man,
-
I'm able to bless you beyond your wireless imagination. So
-
a bitter water made sweet Hey, that's not good enough.
-
I'm going to give you wells of water. There's so
-
much water you don't have to worry about it. And
-
this one came with seventy palm trees. How many of
-
you know that palm trees give you what dads? And
-
how many of you like dates? Okay, some of you
-
dates looked to me like cockroaches, But okay, it is
-
very nice and sweet, and you know they're very good
-
for you. They're actually very very healthy. So the Lord
-
provided provided for them. This is the thing that bothers me.
-
This is the thing that bothers me about the children
-
of Israel. They were so quick after two weeks of
-
seeing waters pot and they walked through that great miracle,
-
they already begin to doubt God. Do you realize that
-
faith based on miracles will fail? Your faith has never
-
meant to rely on miracles. But your faith has all
-
always been meant to rely on the word of God.
-
Isn't that what was said? If you will take heed
-
to what I say, God did not say, if you
-
will take heed to the miracles you see? You know
-
how many people I know who've seen great miracles who've
-
left the Lord, you say, because miracles don't cut it.
-
The word of God does. When I first became a
-
Christian in the eighties, yeah sorry, it was yeah, the
-
late seventies. Let me tell you. At that time, parents
-
would have kill you if you left the faith that
-
they believed in. I mean, I was thrown out of
-
the house. I had to leave. God preserved my life
-
and he made things better. There was one guy whom
-
I knew in this church that I was attending many
-
many many years ago. It was in a very, very
-
poor place, and this guy he would attend church and
-
every time he went home from church, his father would
-
beat into half inch of his life, tie him to
-
a tree and whack him, but he would still come
-
to church. There was one time he attended church and
-
he was cycling back home and the chain kept coming off.
-
But he had to cycle back home quickly so he
-
can get home before his father does, because if he
-
got home after his father does, he would be in
-
for her threshing. He made it back home. Next morning
-
he came in. He looked at his bike and I
-
thought there was no change. So if there was no chain,
-
how did he get home. He retraced his journey, you
-
know where he found a chain. We found the chain
-
about one kilometer away? How did he get home? Sorry,
-
today he is an unbeliever. He's left the Lord. You
-
know why, because miracles do not cut it. You do
-
not base your life on fantastic things that happen. You
-
base your life on the world of God. It only
-
took three days, okay, for the children of Israel to
-
to give another complaint. All right, we have no water.
-
There was another thing to say, You know, we have
-
no meat. This bothered me. We have no meat to eat.
-
Did this statement ever bother you? That God had to
-
send quail for them to eat? Did it bother you?
-
It really bothered me because my memory seems to always
-
come back that when they left Egypt, they did not
-
live without cows and goats and sheep. You read scripture,
-
they had livestock. What is livestock. Livestock is not one
-
or two, you know, Livestock is a multitude of animals.
-
But do you know that they still complained they had
-
no meat. If you say that the meat was for
-
the sacrifice to the Lord, I got two problems with that. Number. One,
-
that would mean every single lamb, god and sheep that
-
they took out of Egypt should have no blemishes because
-
you cannot sacrifice anything with a blemish to the Lord.
-
That is a statistical impossibility because that would make their
-
sacrifice cheap. It would preclude them from going through the
-
animal and checking to see that it was perfect prior
-
to it being sacrificed. So I have a problem with that.
-
Not all of them were perfect. The second issue I
-
have with that is do you know that when they
-
sacrifice the sheep a portion was given back to them
-
to eat? Are you aware? So how can they say
-
they had no meat? Let me tell you the answer
-
is very simple. They were selfish people. They were selfish people.
-
They only thought of themselves, only thought I'm not going
-
to Hey, this is for me to sell its economy, man,
-
I'm not going It was a backup plan. They were
-
going to a land The Bible says they were going
-
to land flowing with milk and honey. If you go
-
to a land flowing land flowing with milk and honey,
-
you mean to say it will not have sheep in
-
golden cow? You mean to say that. It simply means
-
that these guys were selfish. Everything is a test, man,
-
You're going to go through life. Everything is a test.
-
I remember somebody I was doing a work. I was
-
doing work in someone's house and they gave me two guava,
-
one small and one big. And there was another person
-
working in the house. And this person, the pastor pastor
-
told me go and give one guava to the other
-
person who was working to eat. And I did not
-
know he was watching me. I went to this person
-
and I gave the small the small glava, but just
-
before he took it, I took back the small guava
-
and I gave him the large Baba and I went away.
-
They turned. The pastor came in told me and he said,
-
I tested you. Thankfully you passed the tests. You see,
-
everything is a test. You're going through some difficulty, It's
-
a test. What is God trying to see? He's trying
-
to see whether you will give him up or not.
-
When my sister went through that that just before she
-
she she passed away, she said, Terrence, I do not
-
know what else to do. You know what I told her,
-
You've done everything you need to do. Because despike, this spain,
-
this despiked this problem that you're going through, you still
-
have Jesus on your lips. You've not given it given
-
him up. You know what that is, you've passed the tests.
-
Bitterness are the challenges that we face. We're going to
-
face many challenges this year. Do you know what is
-
the sweetness? The sweetness is our response. This is simple
-
to God, a tree thrown into bitter water. So the
-
question is a and the main takeaway from this portion
-
is do you know that abundance is a test? You
-
know when you got a lot, it's a test. And
-
how do we know that the children of Israel actually
-
had a lot when they left Egypt, but they would
-
not even eat it for themselves, but they wanted to complain.
-
I'm gonna make another statement, and this is a bold one.
-
Entitlement is the spirit of slavery. Entitlement is the spirit
-
of slavery. Do you know there were slaves for four
-
hundred years? It made them feel entitled. How can one
-
say that they had nothing right? But as slaves they
-
feel the world owes me a living because of this
-
hard life I'm living. What is that entitlement? Check yourself.
-
If you feel you're entitled to something in your office,
-
oh it's it's my right. If you feel you're entitled
-
to something in church, check yourself. That is the spirit
-
of slavery at work. What a statement to mega think
-
about it. Abundance is a test. How do we respond? Okay,
-
let's move on. Exodus sixteen, and they journeyed from Elim,
-
and all the congregation of the children of Israel came
-
to the wilderness of Sin, the wilderness of Sin which
-
is between elements and I and the fifteen day of
-
the second month, after they had departed from the land
-
of Egypt. So you know, the time that they left
-
between this is actually between fifteen thirty days something like that. Now,
-
and the whole congregation of the children of Israel is
-
the second time that they are complaining no gratitude. Children
-
of Israel complain against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
-
And the children of Israel said to them all that
-
we had died by the hand of the Lord. Blame
-
God again. I have a special word for them, which
-
I cannot say here. Starts with the letter I and
-
ends with the letter T. I mean, come on, you,
-
blame God, oh, that we had died by the hand
-
of the Lord in the land of Egypt, where we
-
sat by the pots of meat, and when we eat
-
bread to the full, for you have brought us into
-
this wilderness to kill the whole assembly with hunger. Hey,
-
you have brought Who are they complaining against Moses? What
-
did we say earlier on? They were complaining against God?
-
Because who asked God? Who asked Moses to get involved? God,
-
be very careful when you and I complain against your leader,
-
against your spiritual leader over there, guys like this, like that,
-
like this, like that, be very careful, because when you
-
complain against your spiritual leader, you just not may be
-
complaining against your spiritual leader. You may be complaining against
-
God who asked him to do it for you. Hey,
-
it is are important lessons you want to proceed and
-
progress in twenty five. Get the little things right, get
-
your understanding right, and you will change. You see a
-
change in your life. You see things happen so all
-
that we had died and you know you brought. Did
-
they really have a lot of meat in Egypt to eat?
-
I know of no slave master who will give them
-
a lot of food? Do you you know they are
-
the work? There are the bosses of the seventies. You
-
know you have you come across the bosses of the seventies. No,
-
you are too young. Let me explain to you the
-
bosses of the seventies. You know how they used to
-
treat their words. They are their workers. They will shout
-
with them all the four letter, five letters, six, seven, eight,
-
ten kind of letters of words. They will shout at you.
-
They will scream at you. They will make you look
-
like a fool, They will make you look small. They
-
thought that was the way to manage. Oh, the manager
-
you have now is not the same managers you get.
-
And you ask anybody who's gone through the working in
-
the seventies, they will tell you the same thing. Such
-
bosses do exist now, These bosses in their own mind,
-
they are perfect people. You know, when they give something
-
to someone, they say, you know, I gave this, I
-
give that, But they don't tell you the strings that
-
were attached to that gift. And these people, no one
-
speaks against them, but the kind ones, the godly ones
-
who now try and do right. Ah, you talk against them,
-
be careful. And these bad bosses of the seventies gave
-
you peanuts, but they thought they were giving you the world.
-
So how is it that the children of Israel could
-
ever say we had pots of meat and a lot
-
to drink in Egypt? There is no way The spirit
-
of slavery, I said, is entitlement. It warps your mind.
-
It makes you see things that don't exist, and it
-
makes things that exist seem like they don't exist. So
-
be very careful. You don't ever want your mind walked.
-
So why is it so easy to complain? You know
-
how short is our memory? Check ourselves, check ourselves. America
-
can happen. And just after fifteen days of that miracle
-
of the water being turned from bitter to sweet, and
-
twelve days after ilim, they are now complaining you brought
-
us here to die. What is their fascination with death?
-
Let me tell you you will have what you say.
-
You will have what you say. It is a spiritual
-
principle that works for good and for bad. If you
-
say dialah, you will die. I am very very against
-
people using this word a dilah sailor. I think that's right.
-
You know why they do not know what cause they're
-
calling upon themselves. You shall have what you say. Isn't
-
it so much better to say it's going to get better,
-
It's going to be okay. Not because I can make
-
it okay, but I believe in a God who loves you.
-
It's going to be okay. You know when when people
-
come up to me with a problem and I hear
-
the problem and then I pray, and I always tell
-
them it's going to be okay. You know why, because
-
God loves them, that same God who turned that bit
-
of water to sweet. But the throw of a tree,
-
what can you do in yours and my life? And
-
told things twenty twenty five can be exciting for us
-
if we take heed to what God has told us.
-
Don't rely on miracles, rely on the world. So what's
-
the main takeaway from this portion? Well, as I said,
-
the spirit of slavery, it's entitlement. Everybody owes us a living.
-
I mean, this is something that we are quite used
-
to in our country. Let it be because it's a
-
mentality that you don't want. You don't want that ten
-
of mentality. Let God give you what you need. Let
-
you not feel that you are entitled to anything. There
-
is one thing you are entitled to, and I'll tell
-
it to you. Now you know what you're entitled to.
-
You and I praise the Lord. We are entitled to
-
the love of God. That is something we are entitled to.
-
For God's soul loved that he gave Jesus, we are
-
entitled to that. If God says we are entitled, we
-
are entitled. And there's a song, you know, a scripture.
-
For I am persuaded to believe. Nothing can separate us
-
from the wonderful love of God. For above it was
-
senis if we let him live within as well in
-
the simple world we trot neither height nor death, nor principalities,
-
things present nor things to come. Though the devil haters,
-
he can never separate us from the wonderful love of God.
-
How many of you know that song? None of you know? Okay,
-
you know that's the wonderful thing. Scripture is put in
-
song because I was trying to remember this verse, and
-
and then the song came in, and I said, praise
-
the Lord for the song, so I can remember the scripture.
-
The only thing that you and I are entitled to
-
in this world is the love of God, because if
-
we are going to be slaves, let us be a
-
slave to God. So the thing about this spirit of
-
slavery is you blame God for everything. If you blame
-
God for your mishaps and for the things that go wrong,
-
you blame God for your misfortune. That's a spirit of slavery.
-
You blame everybody else when things don't go your way.
-
That is the spirit of slavery. It warps our understanding
-
of reality. Moses had already escaped Egypt. Why on earth
-
did he need to go back to these people forty
-
years earlier they told him it's none of your business.
-
Do you remember if you read the story? Forty years
-
before that the Israelites told him it's none of your
-
business and he ran away. Why does he need to
-
go back and put up with this group of people?
-
So does the world really give you all you need
-
to eat or drink? It's a lie? Continuing, So, then
-
the Lord said to Moses, behold, I will rain bread
-
from heaven for you, and the people shall go out
-
and gather a certain quarter every day that I may
-
I told you, everything is a test that I may
-
test them. Yeah, and I may test them whether they
-
what is the test, whether they will walk in my
-
law or not. And it shall be on the sixth
-
day that they shall pro prepair what to bring in,
-
and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
-
And the lords spoke to Mother saying, I've heard the
-
complaints of the children of Israel. Speak to them, say
-
at twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning
-
you shall be filled with bread, and you shall know
-
that I am the Lord your God. This is the
-
second time God is now telling them I've heard the complain.
-
The first time he did not reference the complaint. He
-
just said, do this for the water. He realized the
-
second time, now he is acknowledging this is a complaint. Oh,
-
ten minutes, all right, I'll do my best. Okay, he's acknowledged.
-
And what he says, this is a test. What was
-
the test. I'm going to give you meat, I'm going
-
to give you bread. The only day you shall keep
-
more than what you need is on the sixth day,
-
because on the seventh day it will not come down.
-
But you have got food for the seventh day. Notwithstanding, notwithstanding,
-
you know this is a word that so in other words,
-
in spite of everything that happened, you can trust these
-
people to do exactly what they are going to do.
-
That's what this word means. Notwithstanding, they did not heed Moses,
-
but some of them left parts of it until morning,
-
and it bred worms and stank. So they gathered every morning,
-
every man according to his need. When the sun became hot,
-
it melted. Moses is of course angry with them. Ah,
-
the thing is this, what was this problem? Now? God
-
said what he said, if you will take heed to
-
what I say, they did not heed what God said.
-
Why they didn't heat the spirit off slavery entitlement, so
-
they kept It's telling God, I don't trust you. You
-
gave me meat, so what is it going to come tomorrow?
-
You know, I sat and I thought to myself, can
-
you imagine these people if they had gratitude to the Lord.
-
Let's just say, the bread came down and the meat
-
came down, and they were grateful to God, and they
-
said thank you, And they did not complain for the
-
rest of the journey, but were thankful. Less they they
-
marched on, I can only imagine that would have been
-
heaven on earth for them. You want heaven on earth?
-
You gotta heed what God says. You mean to say,
-
is it is it easier for me to take a
-
part that washing machine? You know how many things I
-
have to do. I have to remove the top, I
-
have to remove the door, I have to remove the site.
-
I have to literally take everything apart before I can
-
get to it. But you know what because the Lord
-
told me I will do it just so I know, Hey,
-
you know I can do so. After doing that, I
-
thought to myself, oh my goodness, my previous washing machine
-
had the same problem. You mean they say I threw
-
a wait this washing machine and could be fixed for
-
fifty in it? You learn? Okay? Now do we follow
-
what God has told us to do? Do we do
-
what God tells us to do? Remember? Everything is a
-
tes you and I. We face tests every day. How
-
do we respon? Actually it's very simple. You know, whatever test?
-
If God your way, God your way, that's the best
-
way to pass the test. What's the main takeaway? When
-
we keep more of His blessings to us than we need?
-
It is because we feel God will run out on us.
-
God gives us blessings when we keep it for ourselves
-
and we don't share it and bless it. What is
-
it because we feel that God will run out on us?
-
But you know that God never runs out on us.
-
It is we who run out on him. We run
-
out on him. It is not he who runs out,
-
but we run out of faith. Not that not that
-
we run out of faith. It is not that he
-
runs out, but we run out of the faith in him,
-
not that we run out of faith, because the Bible says,
-
if you have faith, o a master. See, God is
-
actually telling us it's not the amount of faith that
-
we have. It is do we have faith? Any amount
-
is enough to get big things done. Any amount. But
-
you see, we run out or we run away from faith,
-
We run away from God because we feel that God
-
will not keep on helping us. Hey, you want God
-
to keep on helping you. Acknowledge him every day. Acknowledge
-
every good thing comes from Him. Be grateful and thankful
-
for every good thing that you receive, and you will
-
continue to receive it until today. I will never say
-
those things that I do, like in the office, I
-
did it. I will always say God showed me how
-
to do it. You know why, because I want God
-
to keep on showing me how to do things. The
-
day I'm saying to myself, hey, my intelligence, God is done.
-
Is the day all this will stop. Now it happened
-
that some of the people went out and I'm coming
-
to names, don't worry. And now it happened that some
-
of the people went out on the seventh day together
-
and they found nothing. Again, what is this an indication
-
of a lack of trust in God. God said, take
-
for what you do. So if they did not take
-
on the sixth day, enough, and they went on on
-
the seventy seventy, you start okay. And the Lord said
-
to Moses, how long? And now God is beginning to
-
get frustrated with them, How long do you refuse to
-
keep my commandments and my lass? See? For the Lord
-
has given you the Sabbath. Therefore he gives you on
-
the sixth day bread for two days. Let every man
-
remain in his place. Let no man go out of
-
his place on the seventh day. Now, I just want
-
to tie in. Phisians five twenty says this giving thanks
-
always for all things to God the Father, in the
-
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks for all things.
-
When you talk about for all things, you give thanks
-
for the things that you received, for the blessings that
-
you receive. You give thanks for anything that He has
-
blessed to it. That is the thing test. You are
-
thanking God for all that we have been given, all
-
that we have, all that we possess. This is being
-
thankful for I'm thankful for my home. I'm thankful for
-
my wife, I'm thankful for my children. I'm thankful for
-
my little mats. I'm thankful, you know, for my crime,
-
thankful for everything. I'm thankful for my church. I'm thankful
-
for the service that I give in church. I'm thankful
-
for what God reveals to me. I'm thankful for how
-
He has. Thankful for thankful to God in everything. One
-
Thessalonians five eight and says, in everything, give thanks for
-
this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for
-
you in everything. This is talking about your circumstances, be
-
they good circumstances or bad circumstances. Always have gratitude to God.
-
Will I be thankful to God if I am sick? No,
-
I'm not thankful for the sickness. I'm thankful for His
-
faithfulness to meet in that time of sickness. And in
-
that circumstance of sickness, I'm thankful to Him because I
-
know He will heal me. You see the difference. How
-
can you be thankful for something that the enemy puts
-
on you. Sickness does not come from God. So I'm
-
thankful that in that circumstance, I'm going to see God
-
come out strong in the circumstance. What am I thankful for?
-
I'm thankful for what he is going to do in
-
my life in that situation. One Tessalonians in everything, So circumstances,
-
your circumstance, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I
-
tell you, the last few days was quite extraordinary. On Friday,
-
my father was not well, really not well, and I
-
had to go to the house with the mandate whether
-
to have him admitted in the hospital, something I do
-
not want to do because the hospital is not a
-
very clean place in case you don't know, for old people.
-
All right, So I went, and when I went, we prayed.
-
Got there he had improved sufficiently. And then after that
-
I said, Dad, you have to sip your water, drink
-
your mileo or your milk or whatever it is. If
-
you cannot eat, I said, if you don't do it,
-
I have to admit you and they have to force feeding.
-
He started eating and drinking, all right, and in his
-
situation change. Prayed for him. The situation changed. So I
-
was going, now the next Saturday morning, we're going to
-
have to have this this to go and actually decide
-
whether to put him in or not. And my mother
-
was also not well, laying on the bed because they
-
bought had we know, well, right, so we've got to
-
caregive it down there. And on Saturday morning, I get
-
word my mother in law has been admitted to the hospital
-
all right, And as we're dealing with that, my brother
-
calls me to say his mother in law had a
-
fall and taken to the same emergency war where my
-
mother in law is, and she's pretty serious. So we
-
had all these things happening, and it was like an
-
an attack on our parents in the last two or
-
three days, all at the same time. But you'll know something,
-
God is able to turn things about, and he did.
-
By the afternoon on Saturday, my mother in law was discharged.
-
I understand, my father's becoming better, my mother is also recovering,
-
and this other lady is also doing not so bad.
-
You see, this is what I call the bad and
-
the ugly. The ugly may not be happening to you,
-
happening to somebody else, but it's ugly. It tends to
-
take away from you. That's ugly. So we have to
-
be thankful to God and be grateful to God even
-
in this circumstance. A way to see God do this
-
all right, and I'm gonna end very very soon, trust me.
-
In Psalms one hundred and four, it says, enter his
-
gates with what thanksgiving, and into his thoughts with what praise?
-
Be thankful to him and bless his name. Guys, great gratitude, gratefulness, thankfulness.
-
He is a must in our lives because when we
-
have forgotten this, and maybe this is the reason why
-
a lot of us go through the problems that we do,
-
because we forget to thank God, we forget to be
-
grateful to him, we forget to show him gratitude. Sam says,
-
you come into his presence with what thanksgiving? Do you know?
-
Does that mean that without thanksgiving you may not be
-
in his presence? Think about it. If there's more thanksgiving,
-
you just may not be in his presence. Worship, worship.
-
Let this be an attitude. Let it be our attitude,
-
because worship makes gratefulness and gratitude very easy. And what's
-
the main takeaway. The opposite of a slave mentality is
-
a mentality of gratitude. I say this again, the opposite
-
of a slave mentality is the mentality of gratitude. You
-
want to overcome that mentality of slavery in your life,
-
Be thankful to God, have a heart full of gratitude
-
to the Lord. I can only imagine the greatness of
-
the people of God if they had the spirit of gratitude.
-
So let's not be entitled, but let's be grateful.
