TOPIC: Appreciation Brings Perfection PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Ecclesiastes 7:8 Psalm 138:8 Jeremiah 30:19 Psalm 103:1–5 Psalm 34:1 Psalm 116:12 Luke 17:12–19 KEY POINTS 1. The End of a Matter Is Very Important 📖 Ecclesiastes 7:8 How a person ends a situation or season matters greatly to God. God is interested not just in beginnings but in completions. 2. Engaging the Altar of Mercy Appreciation activates the altar of mercy. Thanksgiving is a tool of faith that positions believers to receive grace. Praise is a key that opens doors to divine intervention. 3. Understanding Perfection 📖 Psalm 138:8 Perfection means fulfillment, completion, maturity, and wholeness. It means nothing missing, nothing lacking, and nothing broken. God is committed to perfecting everything that concerns His children. 4. Perfection Is by Grace, Not by Works Christianity is not sustained by human effort but by grace. Perfection is a mystery of God’s mercy and grace working in a believer’s life. What God perfects in your life is a spiritual reality before it becomes physical. 5. There Is a Grace for Perfection God releases grace specifically for perfection. God desires to perfect every area of your life — spiritual, physical, emotional, and material. 6. Perfection Is Triggered Through Appreciation 📖 Jeremiah 30:19 Thanksgiving attracts multiplication and perfection. Complaining drains grace and removes the “song” from a believer’s life. 7. Thanksgiving Is a Lifestyle 📖 Psalm 103:1–5; Psalm 34:1 Thanksgiving is not occasional — it is continuous. Christianity is not meant to be silent or passive; it is expressive. 📖 Psalm 116:12 A thankful heart constantly asks, “What shall I render to the Lord?” 8. The Meaning of Appreciation Appreciation means recognizing the full worth of God. It is valuing God for who He is and for what He has done. Thanksgiving shows a deep understanding of God’s works and goodness. It is giving glory to God intentionally and consciously. 9. Biblical Example: The Grateful Leper 📖 Luke 17:12–19 Ten were healed, but one returned to give thanks. The thankful one was made whole — perfection followed appreciation. CONCLUSION Appreciation is a spiritual force that brings completion and wholeness. When believers cultivate a lifestyle of thanksgiving, they engage grace, activate mercy, and position themselves for divine perfection. What appreciation acknowledges, God perfects. A thankful life is a perfected life.
