My Beloved Brethren,
Praise the Lord!
I shared this in the past. I find it very powerful, and would like to share it again, as we enter into this thanksgiving season.
I want to thank God for each and everyone you and for your positive and constructive contributions to our thriving community throughout the year, and beyond. By your commitment to the community, you've been a great blessing to many. I thank God for you.
I want to give God thanks for all he has been doing in our community. He’s been working in a powerful way, but in a way that we cannot see. Years from now, when we look back, we will see him working wonderfully, and we will say, “If not of him, we would not have been were we are. We have come a long way”. Praise the Lord!.
I want to give God thanks especially for our Community Leaders, whom he has been using (is using and will be using) in an unusual way to lead our community to greater highs. You are the chosen ones of the Lord!
My beloved brethren, if you don’t mind, allow me to encourage you to spend the whole day of tomorrow (and perhaps the rest of your life) giving thanks to the Lord for everything, good and bad that happens to you, your family and our community.
You may ask: “Why thanksgiving to God”?
Thanksgiving brings down a supernatural power of God into battlefronts. It seems that thanksgiving and miracles are linked. When the Lord receives thanksgiving from a pure heart, he releases his miracle-working power into the person's situation.
If that is the case, and I believe it is the case, then Abundant thanksgiving translates into abundance of miracles
Limited thanksgiving translates into limited miracles
Absence of thanksgiving translates into absence of miracles.
The person who gives thanks to God opens himself/herself for God’s greatest blessings. The person giving thanks is sowing a seed, which will lead to a mighty harvest for him.
God places a great emphasis on thanksgiving to him. He is basically saying to human being: “Do it for your highest good. Do it to reap limitless blessings”.
May each one of us rise up and give thanks to God, and then we shall see God’s miracle working power in our lives, our families, our communities to the glory of God the father
Praise and thanksgiving to the Lord! Amen
