THEME : “BUT WHERE ARE THE OTHER NINE?”
( Luke 17: 15 – 19 ). “15 Then
one of them, upon seeing that he was cured, turned back, recognizing and
thanking and praising God with a loud voice; 16 And he
fell prostrate at Jesus’ feet, thanking Him [over and over]. And he was a
Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus asked, Were not [all] ten cleansed?
Where are the nine? 18 Was there no one found to return and to
recognize and give thanks and praise to God except this alien? 19 And
He said to him, Get up and go on your way. Your faith (your trust and
confidence that spring from your belief in God) has restored you to health.”
It is through thankfulness to God that our faith is
reinforced and strongholds are broken in our lives.
Delivered from many years of captivity in foreign land, the
People of Israel looked back and remembered the goodness of God in liberating
them. There are many reasons why the church should give thanks to God:
PSALM 107: 1- 3: “1 O give
thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and
loving-kindness endure forever! 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord
say so, whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary, 3 And
gathered
them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the
north and from the [Red] Sea in the south.
-
Vs 1. “
For He is good”.
-
Vs 2. “
Because He redeemed you from the hand of
the adversary (foe)”.
-
Vs 3. “ Because
He gathered you scattered in the lands”.
Above all it is the will of our Father God for you and me –
I Thess. 5: 16 – 18: 16 Be
happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually
(always); 17 Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly]; 18 Thank
[God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and
give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ
Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].
