MEMORY VERSE: In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

BIBLE PASSAGE: Psalm 100:4, Luke 17:11-19

Psalm 100:4
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name.

Luke 17:11-19

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw [them], he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

INTRODUCTION:

It is the will of God for us to be thankful to Him 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
Giving thanks is the master key to gaining entrance into His gate Psalms 100:4, it is a response to the goodness and mercy of God.

Regardless of our present situation, whether good, bad or delightful, we are to give Him thanks Ephesians 5:20. Our God deserves our thanksgiving particularly when we reflect on the journey of 2019/2020 spiritual year which He has faithfully seen us through. Nothing will stop us not to also convey the joy of our salvation better than regularly giving God our sincere thanks.

REASONS TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD

1. WE ARE TO BE THANKFUL FOR WHO HE IS

He is good and His mercy endures forever 1 Chronicles 16:34

He is faithful and just 1 John 1:9

2 WE ARE TO BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE:

He has made us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the Kingdom of light. Colossians 1:12

He has Redeemed us Romans 5:8

He has heard us and become our Salvation Psalms 118:21

3. WE ARE TO BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT HE HAS GIVEN US:

His unfailing love. Ephesians 2:8, Dueteronomy 10:21, 1 John 4:16.

The grace He has given us in Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:4

The victory He has given us through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57

His son which is the greatest gift. John 3:16, Isaiah 9:6

His precious Word. Psalms 119:105, Jeremiah 15:16

CONCLUSION:

We should be thankful, no matter what? Training our hearts to be thankful in all situations keeps us from bitterness, discouragement, selfishness, anger, covetousness and other harmful attitudes. Giving thanks to Him brings joy and peace to our hearts and prepares the ground for more of His blessings.
