Remember Reverence


Jesus said, “Were not ten healed? Where are the nine? Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this outsider?” Then he said to him, “Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you.”
- Luke 17:17‭-‬19 MSG

Ten lepers came to Jesus to ask for mercy so they can be healed, Jesus inturn asked them to go show themselves to the priests.
Normally, lepers only go to show themselves to the priests when they are healed of the plague, so they {the lepers} can be welcome back into the society.
When Jesus asked them to go show themselves to the priests, their situation was not in any form better than it has always been. Yet, they obeyed the instruction by faith, and as they went, they were cleansed.
However, as they went one noticed that he was healed of the leprous situation, and could not hold back his gratitude {he must have suffered untold humiliation as a result of the affliction more than the others}, he turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God that have smiled down at him. He was a Samaritan, he did not hold anything back, because to him this is pure grace at work in his life, not an entitlement. The others however, I perceived, were Jews, who did not deem it fit to return to thank God. If they had, the Bible would have recorded it! They probably thought it was an entitlement. That can only explain their ingratitude.
This is one of the reason for less or no-flow of the anointing today, many have gotten too familiar with the environment and the anointed vessels, that they fail to acknowledge God in/on them.

The one that came back to show reverence, acknowledgement and glorified God, was not only healed of his leprosy, but got saved as well.

Thanksgiving is a major key to unlocking more of God's blessing upon our lives.

Do have a blessed week filled with gratitude and appreciation, as you unlock more of God's blessing upon your life. Stay blessed! 

Jesus is Lord!

Strong 2020

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: - 1 Corinthians 15:36 No seed that is afraid of being planted, will ever think itself qualified to ever produce more fruits, it will die alone. Every seed that must reproduce, must of a necessity go through the process of plantation, if the future is in view. It is hard, yes. But that is the only way to duplicate oneself. John 12:24 says,  "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."  In this year 2020, if you seriously care, you need to die to self, and alive to God, in other to impact your world. Living a life of mediocre, will not benefit you, and certainly no one else around. Strong? Yes! Why not, if it will get your attention. So, no matter how you have ignored God's instructions until now, make a quality decision to realign, this new year, and start early. Happy New Year, once again...

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...
