THANKFUL HEART FOR JULY 2023
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.Luke 17:19 [KJV]
One of the striking things about our opening text is the fact that thanksgiving and praise provokes perfection of blessing. This is all the more important, because July is the month of rest and perfection. On the seventh month, the ark rested upon the mountain of Ararat (Genesis 8:4). On the seventh day the Lord rested from his work, therefore blessed he the seventh day and hallowed it (see Genesis 2:2-3). Today’s text shows us how to walk in a life of practical rest, wholeness and perfection. If you have started seeing the move of Yahweh at all in your life, then there is what to do to see the full bloom of that move. If you have started seeing the healing and strength like you have not seen before, then there is this one thing to concentrate on to see the fullness of that which Yahweh has started. That one thing is heart-felt thanksgiving and praise. Some even though Yahweh is on their case and working to bring them out of their predicament have turned him off by continuous murmuring, grumbling and complaining. You applied for a job, you were called for interviewed amidst hundreds of others. Just seeing the crowd that turned up for the interviewed ignited unbelief in you, “there is no how I stand a chance among so many”, then you continue with murmuring as usual. However, the fact that you were invited for interview is the hand of Yahweh at work in your favour which if you had noticed it and overflowed with thanksgiving, then it would be impossible for you not to have the job.
