HEART OF THANKSGIVING

-

1Thessalonians 5:18

 "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."


One thing we must ask ourselves as we end each day is "Have I given thanks today?" For the Lord takes care of us daily!


No better prayer than giving thanks, when you give thanks for what He has done be sure that He will do more.


How glorious it will be if all believers where "Thanksgivers" our lives will definitely be faultless.


Listen I am not just talking of a celebration in a gathering/church with dancing, singing and loud instruments, it is more than that!


Most of the ills a believer could fall prey to could be avoided if we really know how to give thanks.


Prayer should not be asking, asking and asking like the relationship with a boss. With God all things is already done. We just align to what is done.


Even in asking when you feel so anxious the bible says do it with thanksgiving.


Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;


Before anything else, give thanks to God for giving you life and for giving His Son "Yeshua, Jesus the Christ" in whom He has allowed all things to dwell.


 Colossians 2:9

 "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;"


If you have Jesus you have everything.


Before anything else daily my friend, give thanks.


Romans 8:32

 "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"


See a lot of querrels, discord and hate are a product of envy. It is the desire for the world's glory, fame and wealth:


James 4:1-3

What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?

You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.

And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.


A thankful heart is not like that, a thankful heart is appreciative, instead of dwelling on what has not yet been manifested, we dwell on what He has done, thus, we are grateful then we can really do Thanksgiving. Where is the Thanksgiving if you still have envy and hate in your heart? To give thanks you must be free of all the counter-thanksgiving vices.


A thankful heart, gives thanks for what the Lord does for others instead of putting on envy. Selah


As you join others to worship today, WHAT FILLS YOUR HEART?


Help us Dear Lord.


Heavenly Father we give You thanks.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
