Give Thanks

TOPIC
Give Thanks

LIVING SCRIPTURE
1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.





It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD as an expression of gratitude for the visible and invisible works. Thanksgiving is one of the actions that man cannot over render unto God, if possible our daily statements should be surrounded with thanksgiving. When we show our love and appreciation unto the LORD, we truly reveal the state of our hearts, which is where God does His business with. A man that cannot appreciate the LORD cannot truly appreciate men though he appear grateful but the statements of the heart says otherwise.

When is the right time to give thanks? One may ponder! When we are expectant alone? Or when we receive good tidings and gifts? These seasons are all good times to show appreciation but we must recognize also that in mourning we should give thanks, in little, in seemingly unfavorable times, in dryness and all circumstances of life. Looking at brother Job as a case study this morning; we see a man who's ways pleased the LORD, he was full of thanks unto God in good times and also when the devil came destructively, with the aim of killing his thanksgiving spirit. The devil failed because Job's spirit and heart of thanksgiving was not rooted to material and carnal things but in the love of God shared upon an unworthy man that found favor in the sight of God. (Study the book of Job carefully)


On what is your thanks giving rooted or built upon? Find expression this morning with Christ Jesus by building your thanksgiving on His unfailing love and words. Don't let the devil take the upper hand over you by ignorance, your joy is not tied to a husband or wife or children or job, business or career! Your joy is to be bounded in the love of God, wherein you give thanks for the privilege of having a family, spouse, children, jobs and more.



TO-DO
Give Thanks always....

PRAYER
✓Heavenly Father I thank you for your love and care upon my life, family and nation.

✓Thank you for the knowledge of an expression of Thanksgiving bound by your love, help me build my thanksgiving spirit by your Spirit and words.

✓I overcome the devil this morning by the insight of God I have received this morning, thank you Jesus.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...
