READ: Deuteronomy 8: 10–20
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, UNTHANKFUL, unholy, :- 2 Timothy 3:2
The scripture above mentions unthankfulness as one of the moral blemishes and catastrophic evils of the last days. The fact that unthankfulness is included in this list is very alarming. For unthankfulness to be listed alongside blasphemy, covetousness and other well-known high-ranking evils makes unthankfulness a very serious problem indeed. Avoid untankfulness since it is a sign of the last day evils.
Unthankfulness must not be trifled with. It is a dangerous evil. I recently met someone who was unthankful for all the things that had been done for him. That spirit of unthankfulness opened up his heart and he was swallowed up by seven other evils mentioned in the scripture above. Before he understood what was happening to him, he had invoked seven curses upon his life.
Dear friend, be careful of unthankfulness. Unthankfulness is one of the high-ranking evils of our generation. It is a high grade evil. Do not think it is just a cultural misstep to not say “thank you”. Beware of the terrible evil called unthankfulness.
It is interesting to note how Jesus used thankfulness to release the greatest miracles that He probably ever performed. The miracle of feeding five thousand is one of the greatest miracles ever performed.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Matthew 14:19
