Luke 17:17
"And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
If gratitude did not matter to Jesus, HE would not have asked for the nine? Also, if it was the other way round that nine of them came for thanksgiving and one walked away, Jesus would still have asked for the one? Gratitude is an act of worship and true Christians must live it.
Gratitude touches the heart of God in heaven quicker than our grumbling or murmuring. It moves God to act fast on behalf of the person giving thanks. It gets through to the heavenly places faster than anything we can think of. Paul and Silas were in the prison when they prayed and praised God from the bottom of their hearts in pains and uncertain situations, and God responded immediately. God did not wait or defer HIS response to what HE heard from the prison.
If God could hear the praise and worship of Paul and Silas from the prison, He would hear you from anywhere. He heard prophet Jonah from the inside of the belly of fish when he turned his prayers to thanksgiving, in Jonah chapter 2:9. Turn your prayers to true thanksgiving. Do something Biblically new to appreciate God. Thank HIM like never before. You can surrender your talents and treasures and time to HIM. You can use your first fruit in the new year 2017 to thank God and see what HE will do. This will move God to rapid action on your behalf. For all God did for you in this year 2016; He is worthy of your special thanks. Decide in your heart to thank God in a special way and He will respond in a special way, in Jesus Name Amen.
