Annual Thanksgiving 2013 (luke 17:11 – 19)

Thank you Lord

Where are the Nine Could mean.      

1.   Where are other members of your family? |Your wife/Husband, Children, Siblings, Parents etc|

2.   Where are other People in your Organization /Institution/ School etc

If they are not there, make sure you do a wholesome and representative thanksgiving. The kind that will make your Family, organization/Institution,/Business be registered in Heaven as returned to give thanks. So that you and all that concerns you will be overwhelmed by heaven perfection and wholeness.

3.   Where are the Nine? Could mean you – your totality. Are you fully here to give me thanks; Spirit, Soul and Body? God is asking.

In Genesis 3:9 the Lord Asked Adam, Where art thou? Not because He couldn’t see or locate Adam; But to bring Adam to the recognition and realization of His fallen State. Where art thou? You are not where I placed you.

So, God is asking you; hope you are not here to mark register, to satisfy your Husband/Wife; to satisfy your Parents or your friends.

-         Are you here with the Totality of your being?

-         Are you here to thank me indeed despite the disappointment?

-         Have you dropped the worries, anxieties, distresses etc for me to carry or you are still carrying them while thanking me?

-         Are you here to thank me indeed? Or you came along with that offence, bitterness, hatred and unforgiveness?

-         Have you come to thank me as worship to glorify me or just as the yearly routine? Luke 17:16

-         Is this thanksgiving coming from your heart or from your head? Mal. 2:2

-         How much we value Him is seen in how much we give Him thanks. Ps. 106:13; Rom 1:21

Remember Noah in Genesis 8:20-22

The altar of sacrifice Noah reared unto the Lord was a thanksgiving offering – sacrifice of thanksgiving when it dawned on him that God has dealt wondrously to him and his family at the curse on the ground was averted.
