Not working properly

HI,

So i wrote this code 

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $size, $attr ); ?>

and when i get it in my recent posts , it shows me only the image , the first image on my blog. I want it to show the image relevant , basically the same image it was put on the blog as main image. How can i do this?
