FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 17:11-19 (KJV)

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

MEMORY VERSE: “And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.” – John 11:41b-42

MFM Devotional For Today MESSAGE:

Cultivating a grateful heart is good for every believer. The key to attracting more of any good thing heaven has provided or has in stock for you is to offer thanks to God continually. Giving God thanks genuinely and daily is a way of acknowledging that He is the Source of every good gift and blessing in your life. It is a way of according to Him all the glory that are due to Him for being your Creator and Sustainer, without attempting to share in His glory or giving it to another being.

Jesus, our role model practised thanksgiving. At the tomb of Lazarus, He said, “Father, I thank You because You always hear me.” His gratitude honoured God and enabled Him to raise Lazarus to life, a miracle that further announced His ministry and brought glory to the Father (John 11:41-42). Besides, Jesus condemned ingratitude and encouraged us to be always grateful. In Luke 17:11-19, the ten lepers had cried to Jesus for mercy and healing and He cleansed all of them. However, only one of the lepers demonstrated a genuine heart of gratitude. The Bible says that he returned to Jesus, glorified God with a loud voice and fell down on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving thanks. Though this man was a Samaritan, his sincere expression of gratitude was exemplary. What followed? Luke 17:17 says, “And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.”

Two important lessons in the incident narrated above is that thanksgiving or gratitude will earn you great things that others have considered you unqualified for or what others cannot access. The man who returned to express gratitude to Jesus was a Samaritan. Jesus called him a stranger. Yet, while others went, healed of leprosy and never returned to thank the Healer and Cleanser, the man who came back to thank Him was made whole. Thanksgiving made him whole. He got a greater miracle!
