In our 21 Day journey in prayer, we looked at several important principles—essential for experiencing the life God intends for you.
In the prayer of Nehemiah, we discovered the critical principle of repentance—turning from our sin and trusting in God alone.
Last week we identified three essential principles in the prayer Jesus taught His disciples: Humility, honoring God, and forgiving others.
Text: Colossians 1:9-14
Introduction
Gratitude - A Command
Thankfulness is not a suggestion for the believer—it is an imperative.
The peace of Christ is a crucial to fulfill the command to be thankful.
If you are facilitating strife and disunity—if you struggle promote peace in the body of Christ—you will also struggle to be thankful to God.
Gratitude - An Attitude
A life that is properly aligned with God is a life that demonstrates an attitude of thankfulness.
The word of Christ saturating every aspect of your life promotes an attitude of gratitude.
Ignorance of God’s word and failure to engage in authentic worship hinders thankfulness.
Gratitude - A Way of Life
Thankfulness is evidence of a life transformed by God’s power.
When you do everything for God—for His honor and glory, then you will naturally become thankful.
When you do things to satisfy your desires, you will tend to be focused on elevating your own ego, rather than giving all the thanks and glory to God.
