Beware Of The Danger Of Ingratitude
CAUTION; Behind the luxury of Ingratitude is danger
GODSPOWERPROJECT
Psalm 28:5 KJV
[5] Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, He shall destroy them, and not build them up.
It may appear tasty, but there is death in the pot.
2 Kings 4:40 KJV
[40] So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.
Ingratitude is a trap.
Gratitude defines altitude in the Kingdom.
Habakkuk 3:17-19 KJV
[17] Although the fig tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. [19] The LORD God is my strength, And he will make my feet like hinds' feet, And he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
Any act of GOD not fantastic to you will diminish
Psalm 67:5-7 KJV
[5] Let the people praise thee, O God; Let all the people praise thee. [6] Then shall the earth yield her increase; And God, even our own God, shall bless us. [7] God shall bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
Salvation is not by merit, but by Grace
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] not of works, lest any man should boast.
Blessed by Grace
1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV
[10] But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
(Not by experience or expertise, but by Grace)
Psalm 118:27 KJV
[27] God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
Mistaking engracement for achievement ends up in disgrace
John 15:5 KJV
[5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
1 Samuel 2:9 KJV
[9] He will keep the feet of his saints, And the wicked shall be silent in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV
[11] I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
The GOD factor makes the difference in the believer's journey
Romans 9:16 KJV
[16] So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Whatever that has value in our lives has its source in GOD
To escape the trap of Ingratitude is go enjoy the best of your life.
Ingratitude was the undoing of many figures in Scriptures
Herod
Acts 12:21-23 KJV
[21] And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. [22] And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. [23] And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
Solomon
(After the visit of Queen of Sheba)
1 Kings 10:1, 6 KJV
[1] And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
[6] And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
1 Kings 11:1, 23, 25 KJV
[1] But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
[23] And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
[25] And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
These things are written for our examples and learning
Secret complains have grounded many
Nebuchadnezzar
Daniel 4:30-33 KJV
[30] The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? [31] While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. [32] And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. [33] The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
Why Are We Again Giving GOD Thanks
It's an again and again thing
1 Corinthians 4:7 KJV
[7] For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
2 Corinthians 4:7 KJV
[7] But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
No one prevails by strength in the Kingdom
Zechariah 4:1, 6 KJV
[1] And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
[6] Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
NOTE;
GOD is the one resisting the unthankful from going forward
Jeremiah 13:15-17 KJV
[15] Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. [16] Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. [17] But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.
(Ingratitude is pride)
Proverbs 16:18 KJV
[18] Pride goeth before destruction, And an haughty spirit before a fall.
James 4:6 KJV
[6] But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
You cannot go forward with GOD with pride.
1 Peter 5:5 KJV
[5] Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
1 Corinthians 15:27 KJV
[27] For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
GOD is excepted
We owe GOD thanks for HIS indescribable gifts
Proverbs 18:16 KJV
[16] A man's gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men.
David
1 Samuel 16:14, 17-19, 23 KJV
[14] But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
[17] And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. [18] Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. [19] Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
[23] And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
Bezaleel and Aholiab
Exodus 35:30-31, 34-35 KJV
[30] And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; [31] and he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
[34] And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. [35] Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
2 Corinthians 9:15 KJV
[15] Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Psalm 44:3 KJV
[3] For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them: But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou hadst a favour unto them.
No one goes forward without engaging the mystery of Thanksgiving and Praise as a lifestyle.
Habakkuk 3:17-19 KJV
[17] Although the fig tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. [19] The LORD God is my strength, And he will make my feet like hinds' feet, And he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
Thank You Jesus
