TOPIC: THE SPELL OF INGRATITUDE – AN END TIME SIGN
This spell of thanklessness or ingratitude makes people to take both God and their fellow human beings for granted.
SCRIPTURE: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy… 2 Timothy 3:1-2.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: We live in a thankless world, and thanklessness is an epidemic. It is an abnormality.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that in the last days, people shall be unthankful to both God and their fellow human beings. Ingratitude shall abound (2 Timothy 3:1-2). Thanklessness is a sign of the end time; ingratitude is a proof that we are in the last days.
Thanklessness or ingratitude, as a habit, manifests in different ways in the lives of people. For instance, when you drive on the road and stop for pedestrians to pass, most times, they don’t acknowledge the kind gesture you do to them because they think that it is their right for you to stop for them.
This is the typical attitude of people in our generation, the end time generation.
Also, many husbands don’t usually thank their wives after eating their well-cooked meals.
The man eats his wife’s meal all the time but cannot say, “Honey, your food is delicious”. On the other hand, some wives are not thankful to their husbands.
They think that it is their right for their husbands to give them money for upkeep and home maintenance. Even children are unthankful to their parents.
They see the payment of their school fees as their right. And parents do not thank or commend their children for doing things well or doing well in school. Parents cannot tell their children, “Child, you did well. You made me proud.
Congratulations”.
This spell of thanklessness or ingratitude makes people to take both God and their fellow human beings for granted.
Sometime ago, I wanted to listen to some messages on my iPad but it was not working. I told my wife that the iPad was not working. She said that it could work. She collected it and brought it back the next day with a note that it is working. Then I told her, “Why would it not work? You know your work very well. Thank you for knowing your work and doing it.” I commended her for what she did.
As simple as that may be, some people may decide not to show their appreciation as if no one was responsible for the functioning of the previously faulty iPad.
We live in a thankless world, and thanklessness is an epidemic. It is an abnormality. If you don’t know how to say, “Thank you” to God and to man, then both you and the things around your life will not function normally.
Beloved, always learn to say “Thank You” both to God and to people when they do something good for you.
Remember this: We live in a thankless world, and thanklessness is an epidemic. It is an abnormality.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Make up your mind to be thankful both to God and to your fellow human beings.
2. Resist the temptation of ingratitude. Be filled with gratitude and never hesitate to express it generously.
PRAYER: O Lord, I refuse to be affected by the spell of thanklessness and ingratitude. I receive the grace to be grateful and thankful, both to You and to my fellow human beings Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: CAUTION FOR THE LAST DAYS.
QUOTE: A life of ingratitude, ungratefulness, being unthankful is a mistake. Culled from “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Jeremiah 16-18
AMAZING FACT: The human brain has a memory capacity which is the equivalent of more than four terabytes on a hard drive.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Receive the grace for gratitude and thankfulness in Jesus’ Name.
