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.

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...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

THE FIRST WITNESSES

Date - December 22nd, 2021 Topic - THE FIRST WITNESSES   Bible Text - When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. - Luke 2:17-18 As anyone who has ever been part of a living nativity can tell you, the shepherds played an important role in the Christmas story. Angels announced Jesus’ birth to them. Since angels only do God’s bidding, it’s safe to say God wanted the shepherds involved. Naturally the shepherds were overwhelmed and frightened at first. But the angels calmed their fears. They headed off to Bethlehem, as the angels directed, unsure of exactly why they had been summoned by God. They had no gifts to give the baby or the young couple. They really had nothing to offer at all. Yet they went to see all that the angels had told them about. As a result, the shepherds were the only witnesses, besides Mary and Joseph, to Jesus’ first hours on ea...
