Thanking Into Wholeness - Pastor Ekpenyong

 

Luke 17:19CJB “And to the man from Shomron he said, “Get up, you may go; your trust has saved you.”

The more you’re growing in Christ, the more thankful you’ll be. 

The more thankful you are, the more trusting you’ll be. The more trusting you are, the more at peace you’ll be. The more at peace you are, the greater the flow of His grace and glory in your life.

The context of our opening text is the story of the ten lepers who were all cleansed on their way to see the priest at Jesus’ command. 

However, only one returned to say thank you. 

The implication of cutting his trip to get the priest’s proclamation was that he risked not being integrated back into the society. As it was the Priest’s role to examine them and pronounce them clean. 

It was a statement of trust in the One who started the whole process to make good what He began.

‘Thank you’ is a polite way of accepting what has been offered as good and fitting.

Of the ten lepers, only one was totally restored to wholeness because of His trust. Those who acknowledge that which God has done in their lives even though not yet tangible are bound to see the full manifestations. 

Glory!
