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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
