Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 28, Day 1, Sunday, 11 July, 2021 TOPIC: BE GRATEFUL NO MATTER WHAT

“17 Indeed it was for my own peace That I had great bitterness; But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit  of corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

18 For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your  truth.

19 The living, the living man, he shall praise You, As I do this day; The father shall make known Your truth to the  children.”

Many things makes us unqualified today for the grace of God we are enjoying. First of all is that fact that, we disobey God’s word a lot. We indulge in sins as we desire. Is it the attitude of ingratitude we want to talk about? Our complain goes beyond that of the Israelite. We hardly see any good around us. We hardly find reasons to tell God ‘Thank You’ but we keep going to Him with loads of request daily. 

Has God done you well? Has he done you good? I ask this morning, why are you alive? Give me the reason why you should still be on earth? Are you that righteous that God can’t do without you? Are you that faithful that God can’t find your replacement? Do you think you are more precious in the sight of God that you are untouchable to Him? Sir’s/Ma’s, God has thousands of people to replace you better if He is ready to remove you, show Him gratitude. You are alive to praise Him. The dead can’t celebrate His faithfulness that’s why you are alive. So, If you can’t show Him your appreciation you are not worthy of living. The rich die. The poor does. His servants dies.  Then who are we to be alive? It’s all by His grace and mercy. Stop the complain and honour God with your praises this morning. Check around you, you will discover you couldn’t have been where you are if not for His grace. Let His praises be in your month today. Tell Him, Lord am grateful for all the benefit i have received from you till date. Celebrate His favour on your life today.
