Ministering: Pastor Olusegun Joseph.
Text: 2 Chronicles 5:11-14.
” 11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course: 12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:) 13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; 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.” KJV.
God deserves our Praise and Thanksgiving. There is never a time we lack something to thank God for. The life in us, we owe to Him. God is the reason for everything. We are nothing without Him. The wise believe God can do all things and thus acknowledge Him, while the foolish believe they are capable of doing everything, hence ignore Him.
Thanksgiving makes God breath over what looks insignificant in your hands to become a global product or service. God raises People that are thankful. He is far from complainers. Jer. 13:14-16
When You refuse to give ear to give thanks to God, you unconsciously invite darkness into your situation. Jer. 30:19 – “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. None of us have accomplished all God has for us, through thanksgiving, We move from Glory to Glory.
Why Must You Give Thanks?
- Thanksgiving Perfects Your Blessing; it secures all in Your Hands. Luke 17:16-19
- God becomes Mindful of You regardless of who is looking down on You – Ps. 115:12-14
- It pleases God when You give thanks. Ps. 69:30-31
In closing, Thanksgiving causes great and mighty things to happen in Your Life. Praise is a Weapon of Warfare against every enemy of our lives. Psalm 149.
God Bless You!
