THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21
Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils. 

"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..." 
Romans 1:21

The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful. 

When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are. 

When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life that God has given you, when there is so much destruction and carnage all around? Can you not recognize the good things that God has done? 

When people fail to be thankful, they are like mad men on the loose. This is what has happened to large sections of the human race. As mankind learned more about the physiology, the anatomy, biochemistry, psychology and other sciences, they did not give thanks to God. As they failed to glorify God for the human body, which they had discovered so much about, they became mad. 

As they studied astronomy and filmed planets at close range, they did not give thanks to God. As they saw what Jupiter was really like, and as they were able to take rockets to fly past Saturn, they did not give thanks to God. As they sent aircrafts all the way to Pluto, they did not give thanks to God. Instead of thanking God, they became vain, mad, and insane. 

After this, God gave them up to their vain imaginations and allowed them to turn into an unfortunate version of what a human being is supposed to be. They burned in their passions one towards another and gave up the natural use of the woman and the natural use of the man. (Romans 1:26-28)

Today large sections of the world are dominated by this unbelievable variation and perversion. God is warning you to be thankful. Being unthankful is a dangerous curse. It will open you up to the most unbelievable and wicked spirits that inhabit the dark places of the earth. Be thankful.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
