A Daily Life Of Praise And Thanksgiving
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12).
The Bible says God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3). This is enough to make you ecstatic with gratitude to the Lord every day of your life. How could anyone read or hear that and still be complaining? God wants us to give thanks every day, not complaints. The Scripture is clear in saying that this is the will of God concerning you: In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
A life of daily thanksgiving, however, doesnt suggest a life devoid of challenges. Challenges may come, but in the midst of it all, lift your hands and say, Lord, I give thanks, for greater is He thats in me than he thats in the world. Theres no need to complain or grumble about any situation; as a child of God, you were born into victory; you cant be disadvantaged.
Romans 8:28 says, we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. This is why the Lord expects you to always give thanks. Even now, lift your hands and give thanks because youve overcome the world; youre more than a conqueror!
In the same prayer of Paul, where the Lord expressed His desire for us to be fruitful in every good work, He also tells us to give thanks: That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work Giving thanks unto the Father (Colossians 1:10-12). Complainers cant be fruitful in every good work; they cant be effective soul winners. Instead, complainers gripe about their perceived misfortune. Dont be that way; rather, give thanks.
David said, I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth (Psalm 34:1). Keep His praise in your mouth, not sometimes, but always. Thats how victors live: they dont complain; they praise; they give thanks to the Lord. Make it your lifestyle and youll always find angels mobilized on your behalf. A lifestyle of gratitude will continually attract blessings and favour to you, giving you more reasons to give thanks! Hallelujah.
CONFESSION
Dear Father, I give thanks to you, because my life is a well-watered garden, producing excellent fruits in and out of season. I win always, because greater is He thats in me, than he thats in the world. Hallelujah!
