A ungratefulness person is a dangerous person. These might not cut you open like a fish, but what they did is just as bad. These look for good people, and use your goodness, then spit in your face. No matter how much good you have done to them, these cannot come out and show their appreciation, in fact they prefer to hide, and when they cannot hide any more they condescended to abuses, because these find abuses easier that praises. Years ago I always buy sewing machines at the flea market, had it fix, and sent over seas to give church people to start up business for themselves. When I saw the same people they would say. “O the machines is not working” days later I found out that the machines been doing great, and the people are making money. Then they would seek me out to get more stuff. As times went by, with this attitude the, people shut my ministry down. It is always foolish business to invest in people with a spirit of ingratitude, when you teach or help such; you are only setting up rivals to your own destructions.
Treat People The Way God Treat Them.
Psa 18:25 With the merciful, You will show Yourself merciful; with an upright man You will show Yourself upright; Psa 18:26 with the pure You will show Yourself pure; and with the crooked You will show Yourself perverse. Psa 18:27 For You will save the afflicted people, but will bring down high looks.
If you hang around thinking you goodness will change people. You will only burnt yourself out, and eventually become hard like them. People can be classified into six groups. Only one-way to deal with the people with spirit of ingratitude, and is to let them run with what they already get, but give them no more. These eat all the fruits from the tree, then have a bowels movement under the same tree, by so ding they prevented others from eating the fruit, which has so gracefully serve him. Do not give people too much nor teach then too much until you know what kind of snake you are dealing with, or else you could take the food that belonging to your dogs and feed wolves, thinking you are feeding your dogs. Pay attention to people. Watch their unkind remarks; watch how they look at others and what they say about others behind their backs, pay attention to their complaining. It is the same thing they will be saying about you once your backs are turn.
Six Classes of Men
. The merciful (Psalm 18:25; Matthew 5:7; Luke 6:36) 2. The upright (see note b, §Psalm 18:25) 3. The pure (Psalm 18:26 4. The froward (note b, §Psalm 18:26) 5. The afflicted (Psalm 18:27; see Twenty Ways Men Can Be Afflicted) 6. The proud (Psalm 18:27; Isaiah 2:11; Isaiah 10:12)
1 Kings 1:52 (KJV) And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
There Are Certain Goodness That God extended to all men.
St Luke 6:35 (KJV) But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
St Luke is teaching us that if we do good hoping to get back, we could be disappointed. God let the rainfall upon the good as well as the bad. However, since you are not god, it is important to tread carefully when dealing with the spirit of ingratitude.
SOMETIME ONLY JESUS CAN HELP US
Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
