BE CONTENT
The Power of Contentment and Thankfulness
Key Scriptures: Luke 12:29-30, Philippians 4:6, 1 Timothy 6:6-10
Why Contentment and Thankfulness Matter
Many times, people spend more time worrying than thanking God. But worry only steals peace, while gratitude brings joy and divine provision.
📖 Luke 12:29-30 (Jesus said)
“And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs.”
This means that worry is the mindset of unbelievers, but contentment is the mindset of believers.
God’s Solution to Worry: Prayer and Thanksgiving
📖 Philippians 4:6 (Apostle Paul)
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.”
✅ Replace worry with prayer
✅ Tell God your needs, then trust Him
✅ Be thankful for what He has already done
When we replace worry with prayer, our hearts remain full of peace instead of fear.
Contentment: The True Wealth
📖 1 Timothy 6:6-10 (Apostle Paul to Timothy)
“True godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So let us be content with what we have.”
👉 People who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many harmful desires that lead to ruin and destruction.
👉 The love of money is the root of all evil.
📌 Money itself is not evil, but when we love it more than God, it leads to destruction.
The Wisdom of Prophet TB Joshua on Contentment
💡 “When you are content, the opinion of people about you does not matter, but the opinion of God does. When you are content, you wait for God’s time.”
Contentment helps you:
✅ Trust in God’s timing
✅ Ignore negative opinions
✅ Focus on your purpose, not worldly pressure
Final Thought: Choose Thankfulness Over Worry
Instead of complaining about what you don’t have, thank God for what you do have. True peace comes when you:
✔️ Trust in God’s provision
✔️ Pray instead of worrying
✔️ Stay content with what He has given you
📖 Psalm 103:2 – “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.”
May we walk in gratitude, trust in God’s plan, and live content lives.
