THE POWER AND MYSTERY OF THANKSGIVING

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thanksgiving to God carries tremendous power that the kingdom of darkness can not withstand.
The power in thanksgiving is a mystery every believer must tap in.
It can not be explained how a battle is won by just singing praises to God.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 we are commanded by God to give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.
Thanksgiving is the will of God for us! If you want to live in the will of God start giving thanks to God.
The best place you can ever be in life is to be at the center of God’s will for your life .
Thanksgiving is the will of God for you.
————‘—-‘—-
5 THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU WHEN YOU GIVE THANKS TO GOD :
1. Guaranteed perfection, Wholeness and completion .
Thanksgiving brings about the completion of God’s blessing for your life. The leper who came to give thanks to Jesus was made complete ,perfect and whole Luke 17:11-19.
God will not end at just giving you a job , He will not end at giving you only a business idea, He still wants to promote you. As you give thanks, your life will be made whole and complete.
2. Thanksgiving expands your capacity to receive more from God.
If you are not thankful, God can not entrust you with more of his power. David was grateful to God for the power God gave him to kill a bear and a lion, in return God helped him to defeat the philistine, more victory and more power 1 sam17:34 -37.
Receive more strength and power to defeat the enemies of your career, health,marriage, children and destiny.
3.Gratitude brings about multiplication, nothing multiplies without thanksgiving
John 6:11-12. May your bread be multiplied as you give thanks in Jesus Name.
4. Thanksgiving breaks the yoke of bondage and opens prison doors Acts 16:25. .are you in bondage? Start glorifying God now and you will be set free.
5. Thanksgiving changes your status in life psalm 28:5.
Be grateful to God and God will beautify your life, He will lift you up from the low place in life.
…………………………………..
Remember where you were yesterday, the accidents he saved you from, the mysterious provisions of God and the protection .Go on and thank God for his mercy.

Value and see where you are today and sincerely ask yourself what you did to merit the blessing. Hold dear what God has done for you.
Give thanks to God.

23/40 DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING
Bible Study: Deuteronomy 1-3 & Galatians 1-3.
Devotion: Job 1:5, 18 & 3:25.
1.In Job 1:5 Job had one fear in his heart. It was that may be his children had sinned cursed God in their hearts. So he took on the role of mediator instead of raising them up in the fear of God.
2. As a father he wanted the best for them. But he missed on training them while they were young to walk in the fear of the Lord according to proverbs 10:26.
3. In verse 18. He got the news he was avoiding to recieve one day. All his children,were partying one day when suddenly a great wind struck the four corners of the house and killed all of them in one day.
4. In Chapter 3:25 Job lamented by saying” For the thing I greatly feared is come upon me. That which i was afraid of is come unto me.” Fear is a cage. It is an illegal tenant occupying space for free while tormenting you.
5. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us that” For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”
Finally,
Remove fear of premature death replace it with long life Isaiah 65:20). Remove hatrade replace it with love,replace fear of defeat with power and sound mind.
Whatever you nurse will grow. Both Fear and Faith will produce results but fear will destroy you while faith will build you.

BUILDING A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR GODS BLESSINGS

/0 Comments/in , , /by

by Pastor Blessings Mainsa

SCRIPTURE: Deut 28:1-14

What is a foundation?
-The basis or groundwork of anything.
-Deuteronomy 28 lists some of the blessings that God has promised us and if we have to access these blessings, we must build a solid foundation in which they are to stand.
-Architects tell us that no matter how beautiful a building is , its only a matter of time before cracks begins to show if the foundation is weak.
– we can there therefore draw lessons from an architectural building in the building of our godly foundation that qualifies us for God blessings.
1. We define the purpose of our building and like wise must first discover our purpose in life because our blessings are tied to our purpose JER:29:11

2. Clear the land and likewise this means you have clear out the hindrance of sin. Repent if you are a believer and give your life to Christ if you are not Isaiah 59:1-2

3. You start digging according to architect s measurements. This symbolises labour, work. You have to be a hard worker to qualify for God blessings. Prooverbs14:23, prov 12:24, 1st Thessa 4:11-12

4. In the process of digging, sometimes we meet stones, old foundations or tree stamps. We then must root them out, or break them. Likewise there is a place in Christianity where you must root out satanic plantations and deposits, destroy evil foundations and wage war against forces of darkness blocking your blessings. Jer 1:10, Matthew 7:19, 2nd Cor 10:3-5

5. You look at material requirements and come up with a budget. This symbolises planning and sticking to ones plans requires discipline. Failing to plan is planning to fail. We have to be planners and be disciplined for God to entrust us with his blessings. Lk 14:28, prov 25:28,

6. After the budget , all the resources may not be there and we must trust God. Blessed people are people with earth moving faith, for without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith as little as a mustard seed can move mountains. If you have the money you go and buy in the right quantities and this represents organisation, excellence and order. Our God is perfect and orderly and expects the same from us. To do things with excellence 1st cor 14:40. Matt 5:48

7. Materials are mixed in specific quantities in obedience to builders specifications. This is equated to obeying Gods commands . if we break them, there are consequences Deut 28:1
8. You start building which symbolises, building yourself in Gods word. Psal3:6, psalm119:162, Joshua 1:8,

9. You look at the work done and are grateful for the milestone. This is gratitude to God. Gratitude in small things qualifies you for bigger breakthroughs. 1st Sam 17:34-37

10. You pour water for a number if days and this symbolises consistency and focus… You must be focused and consistent in all your spiritual exercises to see Gods blessing, not on fire today and back to old ways tomorrow finish what you start. Phil 3:13-14

10. If you build your foundation correctly, it means you qualify to build the rest of the house…. This symbolises faithfulness! If you are faithful in small things , you can be trusted with big things but can God trust you with his blessings? Lk16:10.

People who have built their lives in the above godly principles are what we call men and women of strong character. Therefore , strong Godly character is a fundamental requirement to qualify for Gods blessings . Some people have been blessed but because their character(foundation)was weak, the blessing destroyed them.

Write Down The Vision Make It Plain

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Then the LORD replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.Habakkuk 2:2.
As we come the close of the year 2017, write down your vision clearly in print. Break it down into hourly, daily, weekly and monthly mile stones.

A vision is like a pregancy. You will lose taste for some foods,throw up, nausea etc. During this stage it will not make sense to others apart from yourself. Only you see the end from the beginning others may not see anything but a dreamer and enthusiast in you. Eyes on the ball. Just like no one admires the foundation, do not fall for the trap of gaining approval from people. Many will be happy to see you struggling and on the floor.

The pregnancy only starts making sense in the sixth to nineth months.
Build capacity along the way. Once you have built enough stamina to handle all shocks and stress as it comes, then you will manoeuvre through to make it to the top.

Finally in the end it will speak. While Experience is the best teacher, it does not necessarily mean you reinvent the wheel.Tap into the reservoir of massive talent, experience and abundant knowledge and wisdom for those who have walked down your path. In the end, the vision will speak loud enough for you to hear especially, those who did not see it from the beginning.

SUNDAY SERVICE THANKSGIVING SERIES THREE: WHY DO WE GIVE THANKS TO GOD:

/0 Comments/in , /by

SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE: REVELATION 4:1-11.

Background
To fully understand our responsibility and role in giving thanks to God, the “WHY “ factor must be answered adequately. The question we must answer with full understanding is WHY DO WE GIVE THANKS TO GOD? WHAT HAS HE DONE TO DESERVE OUR PRAISE? WHY HIM ALONE SHOULD HE RECEIVE ALL OUR PRAISE?
If we answer these questions, we shall do it from our hearts and not by duty nor obligation.

THREE REASONS WHY GOD DESERVES OUR PRAISE, THANKSGIVING AND WORSHIP:

1. GOD FEEDS ON OUR PRAISE, WORSHIP AND THANKSGIVING (Revelation 4:9-11)

“9Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.” Revelation 4:9-11)

 We have been given a picture of what goes on in Heaven every day and night. Praise goes on to the throne of God every second, minute, hour, day, night, week, month and year. God feeds on praise, worship and thanksgiving.
 In beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth (Genesis 1:1-2) The Earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep sea, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the water. What area of your life is formless and empty? Say what you want to see and the Spirit of God will create it and beautify it. God went on to create Light (Genesis 1:3), He went on to create land and gathered water in one place (4), He the created the Sky (9), plants and fruit trees (11),He then created all living creature (20), Finally, God created Man in His Image (26).
 Tell me who else deserves to be praised than our God?
2. God has Made us to be KINGS and PRIESTS:

“You have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on Earth” Revelation 5:10
 Salvation in Christ Jesus has endowed us royalty. Salvation is not a reduction. It is an elevation to Kingship and Priesthood so that we reign here on earth majestically. Child of God, you must rule in business, ministry, marriage, career and life in on earth. Christianity, should not a burden. The world is waiting for your solutions. Wake up and take your place in Jesus name.
 God has qualified us to serve Him, He is so holy, perfect and righteous, in our own capacity we do not qualify to serve him. Mercy has welcomed us into priesthood. In old times, only the Levites would do so. Jesus has opened us to serving God as Levites by GRACE not by Qualification so that God may shame the wise and those who feel entitled to do so. (1 Corinthians 1:27).
 God deserves our full PRAISE, WORSHIP and THANKSGIVING.
 God is using the UNDERDOGS( unqualified, unrecognized, unexpected) to humiliate the proud, self righteous and our enemies. Psalm 8:2. From today onward, you enjoy what you are not qualified for. You will build, buy a car you did not expect to. God will announce you to your generation in order to silence your accusers in Jesus name
 Therefore, God deserves our PRAISE, WORSHIP and THANKSGIVING.

3. In Heaven PRAISE, WORSHIP and THANKSGIVING Is 24 HOURS SERVICE:

…………………….DAY and NIGHT they ( living Creatures and 24 elders) never STOP saying
“HOLY HOLYHOLY
is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is, and is to come” Revelation 4:8

 Praise, worship and thanksgiving is the song in heaven 24/7/360. If you can not learn to do so here on earth, then in Heaven, you will find it difficulty to adjust.
 God inhabits our praise (Psalm 22: 3). The cheapest way to carry the presence of the Lord is to make praise, worship and thanksgiving our daily routine and our life style.
 I do not know what you are going through; engage in praise to God, He will make your path straight. That seemingly, impossible situation, will crumble before you if you give him thanks.
From today onwards, receive grace to give thanks to God in all situations, circumstances and whatever, comes your way.

Prayer Points
1. Father thank you for who are you , what you have done and what you will never do in Jesus name
2. Father thank you for qualifying me to be a king and priest for your kingdom in Jesus name
3. Father baptize me, with unction for continuous praise, worship and thanksgiving lifestyle in Jesus name.

Four Reasons Why Only God Deserves Our THANKSGIVING.

/0 Comments/in , /by

1.He Can Not Lie: God is not man, if he has said it, he will perform it (Numbers 23:19.
2. He Will Never Forsake you:God will never abandon you, fail you nor leave you alone, He will accomplish what He has started in you (Deuterony 31:6).
3. He Does Not Change: He says I am the Lord I change not (Malachi 3:6). Only God is dependable and reliable. Man will change to favour himself depending on the situation.
4. He Neither Slumber nor Sleep(Psalm 121:4):The fact that He is so mindful of you, he keeps watching over you day and night. You are special to him.
These among several reasons, entitle God to receive our thanksgiving and oblige us to appreciate Him everyday and night. DECEMBER Our Month of THANKSGIVING.
