God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains... - Psalms 68:6 (KJV)

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 103: 2 - 5 (KJV)

 

THANKSGIVING

The word “Thanksgiving” can be defined as the expression of gratitude, especially to almighty God. One of the great commandments is to give thanks to God, for all he has done for us. According to Psalm 100:4 we are to “enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his Courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his name”. Christ, himself, was the perfect example of obeying this commandment.

It is also giving thanks to God for many blessings which should not be limited to only good times but also bad times thereby giving us the opportunity to demonstrate our faith in God. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with him, it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Holy spirit room in our hearts. 

Some of benefits of thanksgiving include:

  • It unlocks many doors
  • Whenever thanksgiving goes up, showers of blessings automatically comes down - Psalm 100:5
  • It strengthens Faith - strengthens our dependence on God for every provision and upholds the biblical truths on the faithfulness of God
  • It keeps our lives clear of darkness, anxiety, sin and deception. Rom 1:21, Phil 4:6
  • It draws us closer to God

 

We can show thanksgiving to God by:

  • By remembering him in our thoughts, words and deeds. It is impossible to give gratitude to God if we never think or speak of him. We can also memorize the scriptures to remember his promises and show gratitude.
  • By identifying his lordship over our lives-Counting our blessings and realize that we are who and what we are because of God. 1 Thess 5:18..Reflecting on all God has done for us in all areas of our lives i.e spiritually, financially, physically etc. especially the sacrificing of our Lord Jesus Christ which is the greatest gift of all.
  • By giving thanks in prayer-We should thank God as often as we pray that we should have his spirit in us to teach us to pray. We should bear it in mind that the prayer that begins with trustfulness and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph and praise. We show our dependence on God through prayerful thanksgiving which should be done daily.
  • By praise: We should praise and thank God through songs with the use of musical instruments, clapping of hands etc. Eph 5;19, Ps 69:30, Jer 30:19.
  • By repentance- Always being conscious of our wrongdoings and confessing our sins is a way of showing gratitude to God .Gratitude is also the foundation upon which repentance is built because it shows we acknowledge the mercy of God. Repentance cleanses us of our sins and brings about additional blessings if done with a sincere heart and willingness to desist from such sins.
  • By expressing gratitude to others: showing gratitude to people and helping others is a way of showing gratitude to God. This is seen in Matt 25:40- which says “Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me”. This is thanksgiving to God by serving Him through others.

Marital Breakthrough

All of us one time or the other have prayed and asked God for something and have had to wait on the answer. Waiting is perhaps one of life's most difficult tasks. We hate the fact that we have to wait for something. We live in a society where everything is instant.  All of this simply says you can have what you want without the wait. We have become a society where delays are not accepted or tolerated. We have become a society of impatient people and now it is pouring over into the church.

But the fact of life is delays are an everyday occurrence. We hate to admit it but we all face delays in our lives. The following keys will help singles receive their marriage miracles.

1. TRUST IN GOD.

No mater how terrible the situations. No matter the fact responsible for your marital delay, trust absolutely in God knowing that he has  better plans for you and that he will not fail you. Delay does not mean denial.

2. PRAY YOUR WAY THROUGH

Some bachelors and spinsters are held back by spiritual factors such as anti destiny forces, household enemies, parental and ancestral covenants with shrines and deities, spirit husband or wives and satanic entanglements in past and present relationships. Pray can break the yoke. pray until you are free.

3. POSSESS EVERY QUALITY YOU LOOK OUT FOR IN A PARTNER. 

As a man or woman, work to become what you desire in another. You cannot be a stingy man and desire a generous woman, etc. No matter how you fast and prayer if you don’t have good manners and character you husband/ wife may run away from you.

4. DO NOT MAKE YOURSELF CHEAP

Many young ladies are desperate to settle down, they make themselves so cheap that they have nothing else to keep back. The offer their bodies, money, and even begin to pack into the man’s house before he even proposes. Many have lost out as a result.

5. LIVE A MODERATE LIFE

Its important that you live a moderate life. In your dressing, eating and drinking, etc, be moderate . some ladies , in the name of make up dress like masquerades and as a result look terrible.

6. BE PATIENT.

So many men are unable to get married because they are not patient in a relationship .There are many women, but you need a wife. Equally, not every man is a husband material.

The Power of God will be available to deliver onto you your much desired Marital breakthrough. 

Thanksgiving to God is fundamental to a believer because it is the only means of communicating with God which is inclusive of worship, prayer, faith, holiness, giving and sacrifice. We are all encouraged to reach out to the unsaved and encourage them to come along with you and your family. And as we give thanks to God in this service,God would place a seal over our Blessings via the prophetic word.

Jesus is Lord!!
