TEXT: “If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings..” (Mal 2:2)
Let me start by saying that until you thank God for where you are now, your position may never change. It is time you stop being ungrateful to God. God is worthy of all your thanks irrespective of your situation. The more grateful you are to God the greater your life becomes. Thank Him always and He will manifest Himself the more in your life. Greatness is a product of gratefulness.
Every success and achievement in your life today is a direct result of God’s grace and strength working in and through you. Recognize that and humbly acknowledge that apart from Him, you can do nothing. Jesus said: “..for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5).
Every thing that people celebrate in your life is the Hand and the grace of God at work in you. Nicodemus said to Jesus: “…for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him” (John 3:2b). Yes, the act may be marvelous, but know that it is the Lord’s doing. Don’t deny Him His glory. You and I live purely by the mercies of God. The bible says: “It is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy” (Rom 9:16). All that you do and own till date is as a result of His mercies.
Thank God always for His mercies which bring His blessings into your life. A man that fails to acknowledge God is on his way down. It is a sign of pride and pride goeth before a fall. Always give glory to God in all circumstances so that you don’t lose what you already received from Him. You will not be a victim, in Jesus name.
PROPHETIC PRAYER: God’s mercy is restoring what ingratitude took from you, today, in Jesus name.
