DON’T FORGET YOUR BENEFACTOR

DON’T FORGET YOUR BENEFACTOR           Friday March 13, 2015
Text: Psalm 103:1 – 5                                           Memory verse: v 2
A Benefactor is somebody who aids a cause, institution or a person, especially with a gift of money, but in this study, we will see benefactor as someone who aids us in every aspect of our daily living. The first gift God gave to us was His breath which made us a living being. Ever since then, He has been bestowing on us different gifts including His son who died for our sins on the Cross of Calvary. He gives us power to make wealth, blessings of all sorts; he heals, protects, provides, guards and guides us. It is for all the goods we have received from God that the Psalmist enjoined us not to forget. It is easy to forget the benefits we received from God and for this we have been warned (See Deuteronomy 6:12; 8:11, 14). The benefits which God bestows are renewed daily, and should be acknowledged with daily thanksgiving.
Beloved, it is proper to reflect on our lives since the beginning of this year to see if we have actually shown our gratitude to God for all he has done for us. You may claim that you have not received anything but what of life, protection and provisions? It is not your power or strength that brought them. Read Psalm 116:12. What will you render to the Lord for all his benefits towards you? Think about it?
Food for Thought: Psalm 116:12, 13.

Prayer: Help me O Lord, never to forget but to always remember and render thanks for all your benefits towards me in Jesus name.
