Title: Your cup has already been filled by the God of Jesus Christ, so always maintain a positive attitude.

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country,

 who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.

 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, 

to each according to his own ability;

 and immediately he went on a journey.

 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, 

and made another five talents.

 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 

But he who had received one went and dug in the ground,

 and hid his lord’s money.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:14-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

It is the will of God that you always maintain a positive attitude towards God under every circumstances. 

The defining difference between the two servants to whom the Master said well done good and faithful servant, 

enter into the joy of your master and the lazy and wicked servant was attitude. 

The two were positive, the later was negative.

A positive attitude is not easily offended and takes down barriers. 

Matthew 15:22-28 teaches us about a Canaanite woman.

 She came to Jesus with a need but had to overcome a lot of apparent rejection

-disciples said- sent her away, but she persisted- she was told I was not sent for you- she persisted-

 she was told she was a dog- she persistent and asked for crumbs

  and finally Jesus Christ marvelled at her faith and she received her miracle. 

Her positive persistent attitude gave her the breakthrough.

 A positive attitude sees through negative circumstances to the ultimate victory, it gives thanks continually,

 it is full of contentment for each step achieved. It rejoices in the Lord.

 His word says in Psalms 118:24 (NKJV):“This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” 

In Psalms 100:4 His word says (NKJV) :

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. 

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name."

Isaiah 61:10 says (NKJV): “I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; 

For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, 

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, 

As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, 

And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.”‭‭ 

Point of reflection: 

A positive attitude overcomes adversity- see lessons from the Book of Job. 

A positive attitude releases the delivering power of God, Acts 16:16-30 describes how Paul and Silas

 praised God in inner prison after being falsely accused, beaten and put into an inner prison.

 At midnight they celebrated the goodness of God.

 What followed was a great deliverance leading to salvation of the jailor and his household. 

Remember His  favor is for life; 

Weeping may endure for a night, 

But joy comes in the morning.” (Psalms 30:5).

Satan was defeated by Jesus Christ, ultimately He will be thrown into the Lake of Fire

 and every negative has already been overcome.

 Do you desire to live with a continuous positive attitude, 

continuous thanks giving and continuous praise? 

When you are ready-

Prayer of consecration:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my salvation. 

I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today. 

I thank you Father for total victory in Jesus Christ. 

I set myself apart for a life of thanks giving and praise every day, 

celebrating the life of Jesus Christ in me

, celebrating your goodness, your mercy and your grace everyday.

 Celebrating your faithfulness and your loving kindness which is better than life.

 My Father to you I give all glory. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
