Thank YOU for the gift of life and blessings of a new day in Jesus name.

Praise GOD

The Kingdom of GOD principally operates on the platform of keys

‭Matthew 16:19 KJV‬
[19] And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Keys essentially grant or deny access.
Kingdom keys are only as powerful as the light that drives them.

Israel
‭2 Chronicles 20:21-24 KJV‬
[21] And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. [22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. [23] For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. [24] And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

Feeding of Five Thousand Men
‭Matthew 14:16-17, 19-21 KJV‬
[16] But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. [17] And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
[19] And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. [20] And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. [21] And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

Lazarus
‭John 11:39-44 KJV‬
[39] Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. [40] Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? [41] Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. [42] And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. [43] And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. [44] And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Each one must acquire revelational knowledge on why we praise, how to praise and what to expect when we praise.

‭Psalm 47:7 KJV‬
[7] For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding.

‭Proverbs 21:16 KJV‬
[16] The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

1. Praise turns situations from 'nothing working' to 'everything working'.
Praise has capacity to reclassify man's experience.

‭Habakkuk 3:17-19 KJV‬
[17] Although the fig tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. [19] The LORD God is my strength, And he will make my feet like hinds' feet, And he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

With the key of Praise, one can alter situations and circumstances.

‭Acts 16:25 KJV‬
[25] And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

2. Praise suspends the laws of nature to deliver GOD'S plans and purpose for man.
Human protocols and principles are broken and altered.
It can be a law by nature, but it can be altered by the key of Praise.

‭Romans 4:19-21 KJV‬
[19] And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: [20] he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; [21] and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

3. Praise our way out of every siege of barreness and unfruitfulness.

‭Isaiah 54:1-4 KJV‬
[1] Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. [2] Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; [3] for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. [4] Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

We all need grace to maintain a lifestyle of praise, thanksgiving and gratitude to GOD.

Thank You Jesus

Thank You Jesus

Praise GOD

LORD, we glorify YOUR holy name, we celebrate YOU. YOU are worthy of all the praise, honor, adoration. We have come full of gratitude and thanksgiving in our hearts. Accept our thanksgiving. By YOUR Word, let everyone of our lives be turned around in the name of Jesus.

Praise Is Key To Our Desired Supernatural Turnaround

We have a responsibility to know

1. Why we should praise (Purpose),
2. How to praise (Approach)
3. What to expect from praise (Result)

There is a demand for us to understand the mystery of praise.
Nothing becomes outstanding without understanding.

‭Psalm 47:7 KJV‬
[7] For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding.

‭Proverbs 21:16 KJV‬
[16] The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

Every subject in the Kingdom is a mystery.

‭Psalm 67:5-6 KJV‬
[5] Let the people praise thee, O God; Let all the people praise thee. [6] Then shall the earth yield her increase; And God, even our own God, shall bless us.

For our praise to be acceptable, it must come from a grateful heart.

Praise is an act (what we do), and attitude (from our heart).

Identifying The Turnaround Power Available In Praise.

1. When our praise goes up, prison doors give way

‭Acts 16:25-26, 30 KJV‬
[25] And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. [26] And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
[30] and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

Praise your way out of your prison.
Praise is the key to escaping the captivity of life.

2. When praise goes up, GOD takes over our battle, and victory becomes automatic

‭2 Chronicles 20:22-24 KJV‬
[22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. [23] For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. [24] And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

‭2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV‬
[14] Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Praise always and win always.
Praise against your circumstances

3. Praise your way out of every valley to your high places.
Your status changes in the face of praise

‭Habakkuk 3:17-19 KJV‬
[17] Although the fig tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. [19] The LORD God is my strength, And he will make my feet like hinds' feet, And he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

Praise to make things happen.

From the depth of your heart, celebrate and give glory to GOD


Thank You Jesus

Praise GOD

Give GOD Glory and praise. Ask HIM to speak to you in Jesus name.
It is not just the doing, but the understanding behind the things we do that determines the outcome.
LORD, open my eyes to see the wondrous things embedded in praise.

We must understand why we should praise, how to praise, and what to expect in return.

‭Psalm 47:4 KJV‬
[4] He shall choose our inheritance for us, The excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

‭Psalm 67:5-6 KJV‬
[5] Let the people praise thee, O God; Let all the people praise thee. [6] Then shall the earth yield her increase; And God, even our own God, shall bless us.

We are not praising for fun or entertainment, we are praising GOD with understanding, so that we can experience amazing returns on our seeds sown.

For our praise to be acceptable, it must come from a heart of gratitude

‭James 5:13 KJV‬
[13] Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

One cannot be grateful and not be joyful; one cannot be joyful and not be praiseful; one cannot be praiseful and nor Godfull.

‭Exodus 15:11 KJV‬
[11] Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

‭Isaiah 29:13 KJV‬
[13] Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

‭Jeremiah 30:19-21 KJV‬
[19] And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. [20] Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. [21] And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.

If you are oppressed in any form, GOD is the only escape you have.


Praise Is Key To Our Desired Supernatural Turnaround

Sing your way to open new doors

‭Isaiah 54:1-3 KJV‬
[1] Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. [2] Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; [3] for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

Sing with a heart of gratitude, and you are sure to get your desires.
When praise goes up, GOD comes down

‭Isaiah 64:1-3 KJV‬
[1] Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, [2] as when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! [3] When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

Mountains dissolve as GOD comes down

‭Acts 12:7-8, 10 KJV‬
[7] And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. [8] And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
[10] When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

Sing GOD into your situation. Praise is the way to invoke GOD'S presence.

When praise goes up, the glory of GOD comes down to terminate all issues of shame and reproach around us.

‭2 Chronicles 5:14 KJV‬
[14] so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

‭Zephaniah 3:17-20 KJV‬
[17] The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. [18] I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden. [19] Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. [20] At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.

Praise is our way out of every captivity of the wicked into liberty.

‭Acts 16:30 KJV‬
[30] and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

GOD came down, restored their dignity and turned them to celebrities.


Thank You Jesus

On July 27, 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed her as the Minister of State for Police Affairs, making her the first female to hold this position.
 

Her glorious stewardship so far is summed in the below lines, which she self-delivered;
“Over the past year, we have made strategic investments in surveillance technologies, drones, and communication systems to boost real-time information gathering and response capabilities. We have also introduced ICT applications such as the RescueMe App and e-CMR (electronic Central Motor Registry) to enhance our epolicing strategy. These platforms have improved efficiency and productivity across our operations.
“Our efforts extend beyond technology; we are committed to community engagement as a fundamental aspect of our security strategy. We have held numerous townhall meetings nationwide to foster grassroots understanding of security dynamics and develop community-specific solutions. We have also strengthened our partnership with the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), resulting in better intelligence sharing and collaboration.
“In addition, we are developing a National Policing Policy to enhance the operational capabilities of the NPF and ensure more responsive and responsible policing. We have also launched the NPF Gender Policy to improve the gender balance within the force, and I am proud to announce that our advocacy has led to the inclusion of a female officer in the force’s leadership team.”

 
Hajia Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim is indeed a force to reckon with in administration.

Thank YOU for doing all things well. YOU are worthy of all the praise, adoration.
Jesus, we cannot but give You praise, thanks, glory, honor. Blessed be Your holy name.
Thank YOU for awesome testimonies. Send us YOUR Word in season. Thank YOU for we know YOU have done it in Jesus precious name.

Engaging The Power of Thanksgiving

Knowing and not doing it is classified as foolishness.

‭Matthew 7:24-26 KJV‬
[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: [25] and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. [26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

‭James 1:22 KJV‬
[22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

It is not enough to know thanksgiving. But it is vital to commit to it as a lifestyle.

‭Psalm 103:1-2 KJV‬
[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name. [2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

Every child of GOD is an exhibition of the blessings of GOD

‭Ephesians 1:3 KJV‬
[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Riches
‭Proverbs 10:22 KJV‬
[22] The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.

Fruitfulness
‭Genesis 1:28 KJV‬
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Peace
‭Psalm 29:11 KJV‬
[11] The LORD will give strength unto his people; The LORD will bless his people with peace.

‭James 1:17 KJV‬
[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.

Every child of GOD is blessing saturated.
Every Word of GOD is backed up by an oath.

‭Hebrews 6:17-18 KJV‬
[17] Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: [18] that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

‭Psalm 138:1-2 KJV‬
[1] I will praise thee with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. [2] I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Celebrate GOD for HIS Word. Glory HIM for it.

‭Psalm 56:4, 10 KJV‬
[4] In God I will praise his word, In God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
[10] In God will I praise his word: In the LORD will I praise his word.

No matter your circumstances, our GOD is never late.

‭Romans 4:19 KJV‬
[19] And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:

‭John 11:41, 43-44 KJV‬
[41] Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
[43] And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. [44] And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Whatever tempts you to complain is a test for you to praise GOD


Thank You Jesus.

Praise GOD

‭Luke 21:38 KJV‬
[38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

We have come full of gratitude, our eyes are fixed upon YOU. We thank YOU in Jesus precious name.

Engaging The Power of Thanksgiving

Every weapon in the Kingdom is mighty in power.

‭2 Corinthians 10:3-4 KJV‬
[3] For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: [4] (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds

But the power in each Kingdom weapon can only be actualized by understanding.

‭Ephesians 1:18-19 KJV‬
[18] the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, [19] and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

Our understanding determines the degree of HIS power we are able to manifest.
The weapons you don't use, its power you will not see.

‭James 1:25 KJV‬
[25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

It is in doing that you will start seeing.
There is a demand for us to put the weapon of praise and thanksgiving to work.
Understanding is not enough, start practicing.

One of the most potent Kingdom weapon is Thanksgiving and praise.

‭Psalm 149:6-9 KJV‬
[6] Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a twoedged sword in their hand; [7] To execute vengeance upon the heathen, And punishments upon the people; [8] To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; [9] To execute upon them the judgment written: This honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

Thanksgiving and praise is not just for celebratory purposes, but a weapon to actualize victory over the battles of life.

‭2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV‬
[14] Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Thanksgiving is acknowledging GOD'S Blessings in our lives to preserve them

‭Psalm 103:2 KJV‬
[2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

Thanksgiving is celebrating the integrity of GOD'S Word so HE can perform them in our lives.

‭Psalm 56:4, 10 KJV‬
[4] In God I will praise his word, In God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
[10] In God will I praise his word: In the LORD will I praise his word.

‭Isaiah 38:20 KJV‬
[20] The LORD was ready to save me: Therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments All the days of our life in the house of the LORD.

‭Habakkuk 3:17-19 KJV‬
[17] Although the fig tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. [19] The LORD God is my strength, And he will make my feet like hinds' feet, And he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

We serve a GOD of perfection

‭Psalm 138:8 KJV‬
[8] The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: Forsake not the works of thine own hands.

‭Deuteronomy 32:4 KJV‬
[4] He is the Rock, his work is perfect: For all his ways are judgment: A God of truth and without iniquity, Just and right is he.

Thanksgiving is the trigger for perfection

‭Luke 17:11-12, 14-15 KJV‬
[11] And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. [12] And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
[14] And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. [15] And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

Thankful for what seemed like an imperfect blessing, and GOD gave him a perfect blessing.

GOD has two types of blessings

‭James 1:17 KJV‬
[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.

Good and Perfect

GOD never gives HIS best first.
GOD gives a taste first, best comes next.
Best is next for thanks.

Perfection is the product of appreciation.

May the blessings of perfection manifest in your life as you start thanking HIM


Thank You Jesus

Praise GOD.

FATHER, thank YOU for the blessings of a new day.

Engaging The Power of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of the most simple, yet potent spiritual virtues in this Kingdom.
As simple as it is, it has the capacity to deliver every victory that GOD can deliver.

‭2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV‬
[3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

The devil attempts to downplay the simplicity of scriptural commands so as to keep believers grounded.

‭1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV‬
[14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

In the foolishness of scriptural instructions manifests the strength of our GOD.

‭Deuteronomy 1:11 KJV‬
[11] (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

‭Hebrews 6:13-14 KJV‬
[13] For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, [14] saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

We serve a multiplier GOD.

‭Genesis 22:17 KJV‬
[17] that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

GOD is the multiplier of blessings, thanksgiving is a covenant trigger for supernatural multiplication.

‭Jeremiah 30:19 KJV‬
[19] And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

Everytime thanksgiving proceeds from man, multiplication is released from GOD.

‭John 6:6-7, 11 KJV‬
[6] And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. [7] Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
[11] And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

Every time man is faced with insufficiency, and introduces thanksgiving, it becomes more than enough.

‭1 Samuel 1:26-28 KJV‬
[26] And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD. [27] For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: [28] therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.

‭1 Samuel 2:2, 21 KJV‬
[2] There is none holy as the LORD: For there is none beside thee: Neither is there any rock like our God.
[21] And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

Genuine thanksgiving positions man for more than enough.
Ungrateful people deny themselves of GOD'S Blessings.

Every time appreciation goes from man to GOD, multiplication comes from GOD to man.

Thank GOD for that blessing that seems to be not enough.



Thank You Jesus.

Praise GOD

Thank YOU for answers to our prayers, for YOUR Word coming to us right now in Jesus name

Engaging The Power of Thanksgiving

There is enormous power in thanksgiving. This power can turn any situation around, can raise the dead, silence any opposition.

‭2 Chronicles 20:20-24 KJV‬
[20] And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. [21] And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. [22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. [23] For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. [24] And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

But until it is engaged, the power embedded in it cannot be manifested.
We must give it (thanks-giving) to engage the power in it.
To render it is to give it consciously.
Thanksgiving is the acknowledging of GOD'S blessings in our lives.

Engaging The Power of Thanksgiving For Preservation of Blessings

Whatever GOD does is ordained to be forever

‭Ecclesiastes 3:14 KJV‬
[14] I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

‭Numbers 23:20 KJV‬
[20] Behold, I have received commandment to bless: And he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

‭Romans 11:29 KJV‬
[29] For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

But Thanksgiving is required for preservation of our blessings.

The only thing that can stop or reverse any blessing in any man's life is the man and ingratitude.

Why are some blessings being reversed?

Malachi 2:1-3 KJV‬
[1] And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. [2] If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. [3] Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.

To preserve means to prevent from corruption.
Lack of gratitude reverses blessings.

Continue to give thanks to retain your blessings

‭Psalm 28:5 KJV‬
[5] Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, He shall destroy them, and not build them up.

If your blessings are preserved, you are responsible. If your blessings are reversed, you are equally responsible.

Those who are grateful, GOD sees reasons to keep them alive, and fulfil HIS purpose in their lives.

Complaining complicates matter. Anything we thank HIM for, we are set to keep it.

I receive grace to keep thanking GOD in all situations in Jesus name.


Thank You Jesus.

Praise GOD

Give thanks unto GOD, from the depth of your heart. Celebrate HIS faithfulness, for doing all things well.
YOU have done all things well. Thank YOU. Send me YOUR Word. Let YOUR Word change me, transform me in Jesus name.
We have come to say thank You. Our eyes are fixed on You. We thank You for You have done it again in Jesus precious name.

Engaging The Power of Thanksgiving

One of the fundamental purposes for man's creation is to give GOD praise and Thanks.

‭1 Peter 2:9 KJV‬
[9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Every child of GOD is ordained a vessel of praise. Gratitude, thanksgiving and praise is ordained to be the lifestyle of every child of GOD.
If it is not uttered, it is not offered.

‭Ephesians 5:4 KJV‬
[4] neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

‭1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV‬
[18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

We are created by GOD as vessels of Thanksgiving.
It's important to know that, no matter where you are in life, your life is blessed.
There is always something in your life that is someone else's prayer point.

We acknowledge HIS blessings in Thanksgiving.

‭Psalm 103:1-2 KJV‬
[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name. [2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

its easy to forget HIS benefits.
There are blessings you desire, but GOD wants you to recognize the blessings you already have.
What you have is greater than what you need.
Every expectation of man's heart is simply confirmation of GOD'S acts.

You want miracle job because you have miracle health.
You want miracle marriage because you are a miracle marital candidate

‭Psalm 92:1-2 KJV‬
[1] It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, And to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: [2] To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

No more thanks-keeping, start thanks-giving
A life of gratitude will become our experience in Jesus name.

What Thanksgiving Offers!

We serve a prayer answering GOD

‭1 John 5:14-15 KJV‬
[14] And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: [15] and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

‭Matthew 7:7-8 KJV‬
[7] Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: [8] for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

But it takes Thanksgiving to secure our answers.
Why is Thanksgiving necessary?

1. Our prayer request is 'entered' with Thanksgiving

‭Psalm 100:4 KJV‬
[4] Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

2. Our prayer request is 'attended' with Thanksgiving

‭Philippians 4:6 KJV‬
[6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

3. Our prayer requests are 'responded' to with Thanksgiving

‭1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV‬
[18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

‭Hebrews 10:36 KJV‬
[36] For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

We go before GOD, with thanksgiving, enter our request with thanksgiving, our requests are attended with thanksgiving, and the outcome is collected with thanksgiving.

If you have an answer with GOD, then you collect your answer with thanksgiving.
A lifetime of answered prayers require a lifetime of offered thanksgiving.

LORD, I receive grace to live a live of continuous thanksgiving in Jesus name.


Thank You Jesus

Praise GOD

Thank GOD for wonderful testimonies. Give HIM praise and glory.
Lord, Speak to me personally, change my story.
Thank You for the gift of another day, for answers to thanksgiving, send me Your Word in Jesus name.

Engaging The Power of Thanksgiving

"There is enormous power in Thanksgiving", however, this power doesn't work on its own. It has to be engaged for it to produce in our lives.

What is Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is the acknowledging of GOD'S blessings in our lives, so that HE can preserve them.

‭Psalm 103:2-3 KJV‬
[2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: [3] Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;

‭Psalm 3:5 KJV‬
[5] I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

Thanksgiving is celebrating the integrity of GOD'S Word, so that HE can perform them in our lives.

‭1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV‬
[18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

‭Hebrews 10:36 KJV‬
[36] For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Thanksgiving is appreciation in anticipation; of that miracle job, new house, new vehicle, etc.
We don't have to wait till it happens, we can thank GOD in anticipation.

That's the secret we see Jesus put to work

‭John 11:41 KJV‬
[41] Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

GOD'S plans for HIS children are revealed through prophetic Scriptures and prophetic words through HIS prophets

‭2 Peter 1:19-20 KJV‬
[19] We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: [20] knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

GOD'S Word is the more sure word of prophecy.
So many things written about you and I, the major way to make these happen is through Thanksgiving.

In conclusion, it takes thanksgiving to secure fulfilment of prophecies.

‭Psalm 34:1 KJV‬
[1] I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

‭1 Kings 8:15 KJV‬
[15] and he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

Personal thanksgiving is the secret to personal victories. Thank HIM in Spirit.


Thank You Jesus

Thanksgiving: Our Gateway To Next Levels of Blessings.

We are redeemed for next levels in life, but we are not going to experience next level of blessings until we understand and engage the mystery of thanksgiving.

‭Proverbs 4:18 KJV‬
[18] But the path of the just is as the shining light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

‭Isaiah 43:19 KJV‬
[19] Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

We do not only thank GOD for what has happened, but we thank HIM to make things happen

‭1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV‬
[18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

‭Hebrews 10:36 KJV‬
[36] For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

‭Ephesians 5:20 KJV‬
[20] giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

‭Habakkuk 3:18-19 KJV‬
[18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. [19] The LORD God is my strength, And he will make my feet like hinds' feet, And he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

That's what triggers next levels of blessings; in everything give thanks.

There's no closed or impossible door that Thanksgiving cannot open.

‭John 6:11, 13 KJV‬
[11] And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
[13] Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

‭John 11:39 KJV‬
[39] Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

Take away the stone of mourning and sorrow.

‭Genesis 21:6 KJV‬
[6] And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

‭Romans 4:17-21 KJV‬
[17] (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. [18] Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. [19] And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: ([20] he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God); [21] and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving.
It opens up the glorious destiny of the believer.

‭Hebrews 13:15 KJV‬
[15] By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

‭Proverbs 12:14 KJV‬
[14] A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: And the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

The sacrifice of our lips is giving thanks continually; that is sowing a good seed.

‭Proverbs 13:2 KJV‬
[2] A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: But the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

Thanksgiving makes waiting (for things to happen) refreshing.

‭Psalm 100:4 KJV‬
[4] Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

‭Psalm 16:11 KJV‬
[11] Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

‭Job 8:7 KJV‬
[7] Though thy beginning was small, Yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

Thankless people get stressed. Thanksgiving deflates pressure. It makes patience pleasurable, as was the case with Abraham.

A life that constantly gives glory to GOD is pleasurable.

GOD cannot help our lives beyond the prescription of HIS Word. Without Thanksgiving, you cannot move the Hand of GOD in your direction.

No anointing has capacity to break Scriptures.
Giving Thanks to GOD continually, is what the Bible describes as the sacrifice of our lips.

‭Isaiah 38:20 KJV‬
[20] The LORD was ready to save me: Therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments All the days of our life in the house of the LORD.


Thank You Jesus.

Praise GOD

Give thanks and appreciate GOD, this is the day the LORD has made, what a faithful GOD, ever reliable, ever dependable.

Thanksgiving: Gateway To Our Next Level of Blessings

By redemption, every child of GOD is ordained for next level experiences with GOD

‭Proverbs 4:18 KJV‬
[18] But the path of the just is as the shining light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Perfect day here means when Jesus will come.
Salvation brings us to the progressing paths of life.

With GOD, there are no limits to man's liftings

‭Ephesians 3:20 KJV‬
[20] Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Anything man can conceive, GOD can do it. HE can do, overdo, and break the limits.

Thanksgiving is a vital key that unlocks our next levels in life.

‭2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV‬
[18] But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

What Am I Thanking GOD For?

One of the most important thing is

The Gift of Life;
Everything we long for on earth is anchored on this gift of life. Only the living can enjoy breakthrough, favor, get married, give birth to children.

Every other benefit of redemption is anchored on this

‭Ecclesiastes 9:4 KJV‬
[4] For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

Never disregard Thanksgiving

‭Psalm 150:6 KJV‬
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

‭Isaiah 38:19 KJV‬
[19] The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known thy truth.

We must keep acknowledging both the gift and the Giver.

‭James 1:17 KJV‬
[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.

‭Psalm 100:3 KJV‬
[3] Know ye that the LORD he is God: It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

‭Psalm 3:5 KJV‬
[5] I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

There is no expertise or medication to waking up.

One of man's greatest errors is majoring on the minors, and minoring on the majors.

Thank You Jesus for the gift of Life.

Thanksgiving secures and preserves our blessings

‭Jeremiah 13:15-17 KJV‬
[15] Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. [16] Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. [17] But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.

‭Malachi 2:1-2 KJV‬
[1] And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. [2] If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

Even if you can't find GOD in the process, you will find HIM in the product.

Thank HIM for the process.
Thank GOD for this gift called life.


Thank You Jesus

Praise GOD

Thank GOD for testimonies of HIS great acts, for deliverance. Thank HIM for HIS Word, for the light.
‭Luke 21:38 KJV‬
[38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
FATHER, thank YOU for power to live a life of thanksgiving and praise. FATHER, we thank YOU in Jesus name.

Thanksgiving: Gateway To Our Next Level of Blessings

For every child of GOD, HE has a program of continuous unending blessings. No ceilings for the blessings of GOD for our rising

‭Proverbs 4:18 KJV‬
[18] But the path of the just is as the shining light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

We are ordained for continuous advancement and blessings

‭Isaiah 43:19 KJV‬
[19] Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

‭Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV‬
[22] It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, Because his compassions fail not. [23] They are new every morning: Great is thy faithfulness.

It doesn't matter what GOD does for us, there's always more.
Nothing triggers and sustains blessings like thanksgiving.
As we thank HIM, then we continue to access more of HIS agenda on our lives.

(In the words of GOD'S Servant, Bishop David Oyedepo) If you haven't uttered it, you haven't offered it. You can't assume it.

‭John 11:41-42 KJV‬
[41] Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. [42] And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

Jesus acknowledged GOD, and the answers to previous prayers. If Jesus could do that, then it is a must for you too.

GOD is committed to do the next for thanksgivers.
Have you thanked GOD for the last in order to commit HIM, and connect to the next.

Thanksgiving is gateway to our next level of victory.

Every child of GOD is ordained for a life of continuous victory

‭2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV‬
[14] Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

For every battle in the life of a child of GOD, is a victory in waiting.
Battles are common in life, but the thanksgiver is sure of victory. It doesn't matter what It is, the victory is secured.

Thanksgivers don't suffer defeat.
David the Psalmist was David the always victorious. He was a serial thanksgiver

‭Psalm 119:164 KJV‬
[164] Seven times a day do I praise thee Because of thy righteous judgments.

‭2 Chronicles 20:12, 22, 24 KJV‬
[12] O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
[22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
[24] And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

3 Things To Look At

1. We can't stop challenges but we can determine what comes of it.

2. We do not need physical strength to fight our battles, we need thanksgiving strength.

3. GOD will not intervene until we invite HIM with our praise

‭Psalm 22:3 KJV‬
[3] But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Murmuring in the face of challenges puts GOD off.

Give GOD thanks for all things in the name of Jesus.


Thank You Jesus

Praise GOD

Thank You Jesus

Praise GOD

Give GOD thanks for everything you can count, for your health, protection, blessings, joy of salvation, preservation in the faith
‭Psalm 3:5 KJV‬
[5] I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
‭Psalm 150:6 KJV‬
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
FATHER, thank YOU for today and for advancement in Jesus name.

Thanksgiving: Gateway To Our Next Level of Blessings

It's interesting to know that GOD will not be committed to the next until we acknowledge HIM for the last.

‭Luke 17:17-18 KJV‬
[17] And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? [18] There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

It's interesting to know that GOD counts

‭Numbers 14:22 KJV‬
[22] Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

We see the counting GOD. HE counts what YOU appreciate to determine what to do next.
Everything we acknowledge commits GOD to the next level of blessings.

‭Luke 17:19 KJV‬
[19] And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

Others were cleansed, he was the only one made whole.
Genuine acknowledgment of GOD'S blessings upon your life is our covenant access to next levels.

‭Colossians 3:15 KJV‬
[15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

By thanking HIM for the present, you have committed HIM to the future.

Thanksgiving is access to our next levels of breakthrough

‭Jeremiah 30:19-21 KJV‬
[19] And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. [20] Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. [21] And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
Engaged his heart with thankfulness, with merriment of heart.

‭Proverbs 17:22 KJV‬
[22] A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: But a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Carrying long face around makes your journey long.
You better know how to relate with GOD, so you don't live in the wilderness, while others are living in a watered garden.

‭Jeremiah 13:15-17 KJV‬
[15] Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. [16] Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. [17] But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.
Timely response.

Thank GOD for things money cannot buy;

‭Psalm 103:3-5 KJV‬
[3] Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; [4] Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; [5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Start counting and HE will start adding.
Grace kept you in the faith.

Thanksgiving is a must to enjoy the joy of redemption.

‭Habakkuk 3:17-19 KJV‬
[17] Although the fig tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. [19] The LORD God is my strength, And he will make my feet like hinds' feet, And he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.



Thank You Jesus

Rip to the dead

‭Sirach
[1] My child, if you are going to serve the Lord, be prepared for times when you will be put to the test. [2] Be sincere and determined. Keep calm when trouble comes. [3] Stay with the Lord; never abandon him, and you will be prosperous at the end of your days. [4] Accept whatever happens to you. Even if you suffer humiliation, be patient. [5] Gold is tested by fire, and human character is tested in the furnace of humiliation.

I don't want to imagine how scared those worshippers were in their last moments. May GOD repose their souls.


Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins
And accept You as my Lord and Saviour,
I believe you died for me
To make me a new man/woman.
Forgive me all my sins,
wash me with your blood,
And give me a new heart.
Thank you Lord for saving my soul.
Now I believe that I am born again,
And I am a child of GOD.
Amen!

Humility will take you places


Proverbs 11:2. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.


Philippians 2:3. “ 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”.

Praise GOD

www.domimedia.org

Give thanks unto GOD for awesome testimonies.
Jesus, You are worthy of praise, honor and adoration. We appreciate and celebrate Your faithfulness, for Your doings, we do not take them for granted. Your goodness is so evident in all areas, Jesus we thank You.
LORD I've come to hear You. Give me light from Heaven. By YOUR Word, let everyone be transformed. Thank YOU for we know YOU have done it in Jesus name.

Thanksgiving: Gateway To Our Next Level of Blessings

Part of our package in redemption is a next level of progressions.

‭Proverbs 4:18 KJV‬
[18] But the path of the just is as the shining light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Ever progressing to the point of Jesus's return. Stagnation is not part of our heritage. Our heritage is ordained for continuous and ever-increasing progress.

In this Kingdom, every day, month, year is an improvement on the last. We are ordained for an ever improving and advancing adventure in the Kingdom.

‭Isaiah 43:18-19 KJV‬
[18] Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. [19] Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

That is GOD'S ordination for the redeemed, but it can only be experienced by the redeemed through Thanksgiving. It is with gratitude that we change altitude.
Thankfulness provokes change of levels.

2 Major Thoughts

1. GOD will not do the next until we acknowledge HIM for the last.

‭Luke 17:17-19 KJV‬
[17] And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? [18] There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. [19] And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Faith demonstrated in gratitude.
Every blessing that comes our way is a test for thanksgiving.

‭James 1:17 KJV‬
[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.
Good comes before perfect from GOD.

The pathways to GOD'S next act is man's genuine thanks.
No season or situation exempts man from appreciation.

‭1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV‬
[18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
In every situation, there is an act of GOD.

There's nothing worse than a man just sitting and murmuring. Instead we must keep acknowledging and appreciating GOD

2. Thanksgiving is gateway to next levels of Anointing, and higher dimensions of power.

‭Psalm 92:1-2, 10 KJV‬
[1] It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, And to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: [2] To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
[10] But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil
Our gratitude releases greater unction. The spirit filled life is a melody filled life.

‭Ephesians 5:18-20 KJV‬
[18] And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; [19] speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; [20] giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

The thankful person is a powerful person. A thankful life is a powerful life.

‭Psalm 3:5 KJV‬
[5] I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

Give GOD powerful thanks for HIS acts, HIS power, in your life, family, still standing because of HIS mercy. Thank GOD for health, from the depth and bottom of your heart. FATHER, thank YOU in Jesus precious name.
From today onwards, I receive grace for a life of Thanksgiving


Thank You Jesus.

Praise GOD

Appreciate GOD, give HIM praise, glory, adoration, honor. Thank HIM for HE is worthy of all.
Jesus, thank You, speak to me, send Your Word my way, send Your light. Let every interruption be taken off. Let Your voice sound and change my story.
We have come full of gratitude. You have done all things well. Send us Your Word with power, and let everyone experience a change of level in Jesus name.

Engaging The Miracle Power of Thanksgiving.

The spiritual is the living experience of every believer. Miracles are ordained to be our natural way of living. We don't beg situations, we command situations.

‭John 14:12 KJV‬
[12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

‭Mark 16:17 KJV‬
[17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Those that believe don't follow signs, signs follow them.

For every Kingdom provision, there's a condition attached to become a reality. One of those Kingdom key is Thanksgiving.

Our weapons may be seemingly weak, but they have mighty power.

‭1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV‬
[27] but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

It is the potency that lies within it.
Don't look at the size of the weapon to determine its potency

‭2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV‬
[3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

The Kingdom is full of simplicities.

‭1 Samuel 17:39-40, 43 KJV‬
[39] And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. [40] And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
[43] And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

Weak looking weapons brought about great victory.

What is in Thanksgiving?
3 Effects of Thanksgiving and Praise

1. Opens the door to next levels of empowerment

‭John 5:25-26 KJV‬
[25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. [26] For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

‭John 11:40-44 KJV‬
[40] Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? [41] Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. [42] And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. [43] And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. [44] And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

In the natural, a dead man cannot hear. But there is a new dimension we enter into.
To see new levels of power, keep giving thanks.

2. Unthankfulness is viewed as pride in the sight of GOD

‭Jeremiah 13:16 KJV‬
[16] Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
Unthankfulness is the height of arrogance. No situation exempts us from gratitude.

3. To maximize the returns of our labor in the vineyard.
Thanking GOD is gathering the harvest.
Serving GOD procures the blessings, Gratitude collects/releases our rewards.
Thanksgiving is our collection point.

Give GOD quality thanks for your life, family, work of your hands, state of your health, strength in your body.
Jesus, thank You, blessed be Your name. You are worthy of all glory, adoration in Jesus name.

Thanksgiving is a debt you cannot stop paying.


Thank You Jesus.

Praise GOD

Give GOD thanks, appreciate HIM. HE deserves the praise, glory, adoration. Thank YOU, thank YOU and thank YOU.

One of the great mystery in the Kingdom is the mystery of thanksgiving and praise

‭Mark 4:11 KJV‬
[11] And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

Engaging this mystery gives us mastery over life's situations.
Irreversible situations are reversed. Impossible situations are cheaply handled.

‭1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV‬
[14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

As potent as it is, it is under-utilized because of its simplicity.
Simple act with unimaginable outcome

‭2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV‬
[3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

3 Points to Note

1. Thanksgiving and praise are spiritual weapons for silencing our enemies

‭Matthew 21:16 KJV‬
[16] and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

‭Psalm 8:2 KJV‬
[2] Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Thanksgiving and praise guarantees sweatless breakthroughs over all adversaries, as we are in constant warfare in the Kingdom

‭2 Chronicles 20:7, 22-24 KJV‬
[7] Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
[22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. [23] For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. [24] And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

2. The going is ever great in the life of every genuine thanksgiver.

‭Psalm 92:1-2, 12-15 KJV‬
[1] It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, And to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: [2] To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
[12] The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. [13] Those that be planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. [14] They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be fat and flourishing; [15] To shew that the LORD is upright: He is my rock, And there is no unrighteousness in him.

3. We must remain thankful and praiseful to keep maximizing returns from our labor in the vineyard

‭Psalm 67:5-7 KJV‬
[5] Let the people praise thee, O God; Let all the people praise thee. [6] Then shall the earth yield her increase; And God, even our own God, shall bless us. [7] God shall bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.


Thank You Jesus for Grace

Praise GOD

Give GOD thanks, for answered prayers, awesome testimonies. Thank You Jesus.
Speak to me this morning, just a word can turn things supernaturally.
‭Luke 21:38 KJV‬
[38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him
Cause my ear to hear Your voice. Jesus, thank You for what You have done. As we look into Your Word, let Your name be glorified, touch lives, direct everyone's steps in Jesus name

Engaging The Miracle Power of Thanksgiving

Life in the Kingdom functions on the platform of covenant simplicities.

‭2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV‬
[3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Simplicity, not complexity. Salvation is simple, simply repent.

‭2 Timothy 3:15 KJV‬
[15] and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

So much power in Thanksgiving. Thanksgivers don't know dry season. Engage thanksgiving as a lifestyle and things keep changing levels.

‭Psalm 92:1-2, 10-15 KJV‬
[1] It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, And to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: [2] To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
[10] But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. [11] Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, And mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. [12] The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. [13] Those that be planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. [14] They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be fat and flourishing; [15] To shew that the LORD is upright: He is my rock, And there is no unrighteousness in him.

Fresh oil demands thanksgiving for release.

‭Luke 10:21 KJV‬
[21] In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Amazing weapon and so neglected. Thanksgiving secures supernatural breakthroughs.

‭Isaiah 10:27 KJV‬
[27] And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

In the name of Jesus, I receive grace for in-depth thanksgiving as my new way of life.

‭Luke 15:7 KJV‬
[7] I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Supernatural victory answers to thanksgivers.

The fresh oil conquers their battles.

‭2 Chronicles 20:22 KJV‬
[22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

You stop changing levels when you stop giving GOD thanks.

‭Luke 10:21 KJV‬
[21] In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Jesus is our perfect example.

Thanksgivers are never stranded.

‭John 6:11 KJV‬
[11] And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

‭John 11:41-42, 44 KJV‬
[41] Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. [42] And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
[44] And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Develop capacity for unreserved, tireless, unstoppable, continuous thanksgiving.

Thanksgivers don't lose battles. Respond to loss with thanksgiving.

I receive Grace for unreserved thanksgiving as a new lifestyle.

HE'S a good GOD, who does you good at all times.

‭Jeremiah 30:19-21 KJV‬
[19] And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. [20] Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. [21] And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.

The root of ingratitude is cursed by the blood of Jesus. I receive the oil of joy and rejoicing in Jesus precious name


Thank You Jesus.

“But from the beginning it was not so, and now the hour has come to liberate the whole world from all oppression of the devil through the preaching of the world of faith and I AM sending you to undertake this task.” Today, he stands as an Apostle of Faith to the nations, the impact of whose ministry has continued to spread across many nations of the world.
