This morning Chiemene spoke from Luke 17 v11-19 (AMP) on the subject of “Gratitude. (Apologies, the first few minutes of the audio is missing).
“While Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing [along the border] between Samaria and Galilee. As He entered a village, He was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance; and they raised their voices and called out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” When He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were [miraculously] healed and made clean. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying and praising and honoring God with a loud voice; and he lay face downward at Jesus’ feet, thanking Him [over and over]. He was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten [of you] cleansed? Where are the [other] nine? Was there no one found to return and to give thanks and praise to God, except this foreigner?” Jesus said to him, “Get up and go [on your way]. Your faith [your personal trust in Me and your confidence in God’s power] has restored you to health”.
She had 3 main points:
- There was a calling out to Jesus.
- There was an act of obedience and they moved by faith.
- There was an attitude of gratitude.
Chiemene encouraged us to have an attitude of gratitude in all that we do.
