Introduction
“When God knows you’re ready for the
Responsibility of Commitment, hell
reveal the person under the right
circumstances. Wait patiently, don’t waste
your time. Grow and be ready. You’ll see
God will give you a life story far better than
you could ever dream of!
Joshua Harris“

3. Be grateful everyday”!
• Light thinks it travels faster than
anything but it is wrong. No matter
how fast the light, it finds the darkness
has always got there first, and is
waiting for it
Terry Pratchett
My observation is this!!
• What will happen if we are going to
pick the fruits when it is young?
• What will happen to child when we
threw him on a water?
• What will happen to a business man
when he will start his business then he
do not have exact knowledge about his
business?

4. God has a perfect time to bless you!
“You were made by God and for
God and until you understand
that, life will never make
sense.”
― Rick Warren

5. Job 2: 9 His wife said to him, ‘Are you
still maintaining your integrity? Curse
God and die!’ 10 He replied, ‘You are
talking like a foolish woman. Shall we
accept good from God, and not
trouble?’
Make your gratitude as a lifestyle!
Illustration
Two men were walking through a field
one day when they spotted an enraged
bull. Instantly they darted toward the
nearest fence. The storming bull followed
in hot pursuit, and it was soon apparent
they wouldn't make it. Terrified, the one
shouted to the other, "Put up a prayer,
John. We're in for it!" John answered, "I
can't. I've never made a public prayer in

6. my life." "But you must!" implored his
companion. "The bull is catching up to
us." "All right," panted John, "I'll say the
only prayer I know, the one my father
used to repeat at the table: 'O Lord, for
what we are about to receive, make us
truly thankful.'"
Why we must express our gratitude to
God?

“Follow the will of God”
The year was 1940. On the other
side of the world, a Filipino leader
opened his country to fleeing
Jewish refugees against Adolf
Hitler when no other country would
take them and even donated his
own land in Marikina and
Mindanao for their settlements;
“We went to the Philippines
because it was the only place that
gave us a visa,”
recalled Harry Brauer,

 In appreciation of what the Philippines
has done for the Jewish people during
WII (Hitler), an Open Door monument
was inaugurated in Tel-Aviv in 2009 to
honor the Philippines and the Filipino
people. Likewise, Filipinos can travel to
Israel without any need for a visa and
stay there up to six months. There is a
rare privilege given by any country for
us, Filipinos.
 In the Asean (Association of Southeast
Asian Nations), Filipinos can only travel
to member-countries only up to 30 days
without any visa requirement. In Israel,
it is a good 60 days with the Jews
welcoming our compatriots!

9. “Do not neglect to express our
gratitude”
Illustration
• Luke 17:11-19
• Why did only one cleansed leper
return to thank Jesus? The following
are nine suggested reasons why the
nine did not return:
1: One waited to see if the cure was real.
2: One waited to see if it would last.
3: One said he would see Jesus later.
4: One decided that he had never had leprosy.
5: One said he would have gotten well anyway.
6: One gave the glory to the priests.
7: One said, "O, well, Jesus didn't really do
anything."
8: One said, "Any rabbi could have done it."
9: One said, "I was already much improved."

10. “Be thankful avoid to make a
comment”
Illustration
Carol decided she wanted to do something
nice for her neighbor Mrs. Smith, so she
baked a pie and carried it next door. When
Mrs. Smith opened up her door, she was
surprised to see her holding a pie. She
replied, "For me?
 Oh, thank you so much! You just don't
know how much I appreciate it! You are
so thoughtful for doing this! Thank
you!" Because Mrs. Smith liked the pie
so much, Carol decided the next week to
bake her another one. When she took it
over, Mrs. Smith opened the door and
said, "Thank you so much. You are so
kind!"

11. Carol took another pie over the
following week. Mrs. Smith simply
replied, "Thanks." Carol took another
pie over the next week, and Mrs. Smith
responded, "You are a day late with that
pie." The following week, Carol baked
her another pie. This time her neighbor
said, "Try using a little more sugar and
don't bake it quite as long. The crust has
been a little bit hard lately. And I'd like
cherry instead of apple filling next
time."
The next week Carol was so busy, she
was unable to cook for her
neighbor. When Carol passed by her
house on the way to the store, Mrs.
Smith looked through the window and
noticed she wasn't carrying a pie. She

12. then stuck her head out the window and
yelled, "Where's my pie?!“
It's so easy to get used to our
blessings. After enjoying them for a
while, we begin to think we deserve
them. Then instead of being thankful,
we complain. It's a process that occurs
so slowly, we don't even realize it's
happening.
In Christ Jesus it means?
• ESV 18 give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus for you.
1: Jesus suffer in order for us to
experience an abundant life!
2: everything is possible in the name of
Jesus!
