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].
