WHY GOD DESERVES YOUR THANKSGIVING AND PRAISES ALWAYS

For taking your time to study the word of God remain blessed.

SATURDAY 28 AUGUST
WHY GOD DESERVES YOUR  THANKSGIVING AND PRAISES ALWAYS
TEXT:  Psalm 30:11-12
Key verse: 1Thessalonians 5:18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God 
in Christ Jesus concerning you.

In everything give thanks and praises to God. This is what God desires from His children. Our thanks and praises should ascend to God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in everything: good or evil, in pleasure or pain, in the joy of life or the dread of death. God requires this from every believer. It is good for the Christian. However, praise and thanksgiving to God are often forgotten by men in times of peace, prosperity and pleasure. The scripture warns every child of God against this transgression and costly forgetfulness (Deuteronomy 7:6-25). To forget to give God praise and thanks in your good times deprives your soul of humility and fills it with the pride of self-accomplishment. The heart of the one who forgets God in his achievements claims that he got it by his wisdom, ability, and connection. He may also ascribe the glory to other human beings or even to demons (Daniel 4:30; Esther 5:11-12). Never fail to give God praise and thanks for all the good things in your life. They come from Him and He wants you to realize this and appreciate Him. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Thank Him for the knowledge, wisdom, understanding, connections, human helps, open doors, favours, and grace He has given you. 

Praise and thanksgiving to God is a scriptural command, instruction and counsel. God wants us to praise Him when things are hard, unpleasant and ugly (whether imagined or real). You may be wondering why God should be praised for what Satan has done as in the case of Job. The wisest thing is to heed the command and instruction of scripture. In your hard and difficult times, praise God, thank God, worship God. Job demonstrated this truth to us in his practical Christian life. He praised and worshipped God in the worst situation of life to the bewilderment of His wife. The Lord wants us to learn this from the life of Job (Romans 15:4). Our situation may not even be as terrible as Jobs. But if he praised and worshipped God in dark moments of life, we too can praise God in our dark days (Job 1:20-22).

Thought for the day: Your righteous standing in times of trouble proves your genuine faith in God.
Song for the day: Praise God Alleluia, Praise God Amen...
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 136-138; 
1 Corinthians 9

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
