DEVELOPING THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE Luke 17:12-19| Leprosy comes with a lot of irritation. Jesus did not just heal the leper who came to thank Him, He gave him total restoration; he was made whole. Most of the time , we forget where we are coming from; we fail to think of how God has helped us through what we have been through in life which makes it difficult for us to thank Him. Gratitude is one of the most effective indirect ways of asking for more. Many times we tend to stay in the role of complaining but when we learn to say thank you to God, He blesses us more. Although He asked us to ask until our joy becomes full, we still need to thank Him for what He has done in order to get more. People who praise God get things done faster. Gratitude helps you to get more; it makes favour and more benefits to be available to you. There is no time in our lives when we don’t have something we are trying to complete. Stop grieving ov

MAKE MELODY UNTO THE LORD ( PART 1). " And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit ; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and Spiritual songs, singing and MAKING MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD ." Ephesians 5: 18- 19. MELODY means here tune in other to praise God. It can be in psalms, hymns and Spiritual songs. We have a tune when we pray, this tune here is a rejoicing tune. Not to ask God for anything but just to worship him for who he is. Notice that word ' MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD '. This Melody is not just in singing or praising with your mouth as other do. You do it with your HEART in honour to the Lord.If your heart is not involved in your singing psalms, hymns and singing song, it is voice training and another way is noise making. If your heart is agreeing with the spiritual songs, hymns, and psalms, you are not just singing, you are also making melody unto the Lord. David is a good example of s
