Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory - Psalms 102:13-15

 

Divine Favour

Favour is an act of kindness beyond what is due to you. Favour means to be preferred, to get an advantage or edge over others, to get help rendered to you without recourse to what you have done, omitted to do or your qualification.

Divine Favour is favour from God. When the favor of God is on you, good comes your way, odds get turned in your favor. Even if you are not the most talented, intelligent or beautiful, God’s unmerited favor can still open doors of opportunities for you and propel you straight into good success.

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is 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”.

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 is a very important subject in the Bible. There are numerous scriptures on thanksgiving in both the Old Testament and in the New Testament. 

The Book of Psalm in particular is full of such verses.

  •  Psalm 95: 2 says, “Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms”
  • Psalm 107: 21-22 says, “Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing”

 

The New Testament also contains similar verses on thanksgiving such as:

  • Colossians 4: 2 enjoins believers to “continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving”
  • Ephesians 5: 20 says to give thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

BENEFITS OF THANKSGIVING:

  • God sees you as a grateful person

 So Jesus answered and said, ‘Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?

Luke 17:17-18 (NKJV)

 

  • It gives you access into God’s presence. 

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations

Psalm 100:4-5 (NKJV)

 

  • You please God. 

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you 

1 Thess 5:18 (NKJV)

 

  •  It ignites joy in you and creates an atmosphere for the supernatural. 

The LORD is my strength, my shield from every danger. I trust in him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Ps 28:7 (NLT)

 

  • It positions you for more blessing.

Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before Me; and I will punish all who oppress them.

Jer 30:19-20 (NKJV)

 

  • Thanksgiving magnifies the blessings of the Lord in our lives.
  • Thanksgiving is a unique way of witnessing to those around us that our God is dependable.
  • It is right to give thanks to God - Psalm 92:1
  • It keeps our lives clear of darkness, anxiety and sin
