BE THANKFUL FOR EVERY SITUATION

“In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLT)
Main Text: Main Text: Psalm 100

The will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you is that you are thankful in everything. To givethanks is to appreciate God for being in control. Matthew 26:26 “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” On another occasion before He fed the multitude with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes, He gave thanks. Mark 6:41. Notice in both instances with bread and fish “He blessed them.”

When the scriptures say that Jesus took bread and blessed it, what He actually did was to givethanks; the words He spoke were words of thanks. Learn to bless God with your words of thankfulness, doing that surely will make God manifest His greatness in you – He uses your mouth to bring correction to issues around you. God would bring a blessing where a curse had been intended. He’ll bring about prosperity, success, victory, and peace to defeat everything contrary to redemption in your life!

Confession:

Father, I thank You! I am blessed and highly favored, I thank you that I multiply on all sides and that I am fruitful and not barren. In Jesus name, Amen.
