IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS
“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 give thanks 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 give thanks; 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.
