Title: Give thanks always. “Of the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful, And have forgotten the God who fathered you. And when the LORD saw it, He spurned them, because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation, children in whom is no faith.
They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God;
they have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols.
But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation;
I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.'"??Deuteronomy? ?32:18-21? ?NKJV??.
There is always the temptation to forget God following a blessing.
It is critical that the child of God guards against that.
It is important to put safeguards in your own life against a life that disregards God,
that takes God for granted and that does not acknowledge Him when He does things in your life.
Point of reflection:
It is important to always commit your ways to the Lord and in all you do to acknowledge Him.
It is important to build-in your life thanksgiving breaks.
That is why His word says in Psalms 107: 21 NKJV:
“Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works to the children of men!”??
Psalms 103:1-2 NKJV:
goes further to say: “Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me,
bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:”?
Yes it is important to take stock and acknowledge God, give Him thanks and glorify His name for what He has done for us.
His word teaches us in Luke 17:12-19: Then He entered a certain village,
there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.
And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
So when He saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourself to the priests."
And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,
and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And He was a Samaritan.
So Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"
And He said to him, "Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well."
Here only one of ten and a foreigner returned to give glory to God.
While others received healing in their bodies, the leper who returned to give thanks was not only healed,
but was made whole, he obtained the full package of salvation.
Do you desire to commit your ways to God, to acknowledge Him in all you do,
to give thanks to Him and to bless His Holy name always?
Start by making a prayer of commitment:
when you are ready-
Prayer of commitment:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you Father for your grace and mercy upon my life,
thank you for your goodness and loving kindness which is better than life.
Thank you for your salvation in Jesus Christ.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I commit myself Lord in all I do to acknowledge you,
to commit my ways to you so that you direct my paths,
to give thanks to your name and to bless your name always.
Thank you Father for shining your face upon me always
and for your mercies upon my life which are new every morning.
I bless your holy name.

With best wishes for the New Year 2020 and New Decade in which Almighty God is calling out a people who will be
a special treasure to Him (Exodus 19:4-5).
A people who have set themselves apart and consecrated themselves to become His portion and His inheritance (Deuteronomy 32:9).
A people who are vessels of honour in His house (2 Timothy 2:20-21).
For these people He promises to lead and guide them by His Holy Spirit as they accomplish His purpose on the Earth,
to fight their wars and battles and to protect them from the attacks of the enemy.
These people join hands with Almighty God as they pray for salvation of souls,
as they witness the love of Jesus Christ and as they exercise faithful stewardship to make ready
a people prepared for the Lord (Luke 1:13-17).
We love you as we invite you to set yourself apart to become Almighty God's portion and inheritance in Jesus Christ.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
