Message Title : The Power of Thanksgiving Minister: Bishop David Oyedepo Ministry: Living Faith Church, (Winners Chapel) A Message on the Power of Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is a Debt we owe God: Anytime God does anything; He is waiting for acknowledgement. When that one leper returned, Jesus said, …were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine (Luke 17:17)? So, thanksgiving is a debt we owe God and we must pay because it is a commandment (Malachi 2:2-3). To Preserve the Blessings: As it is written, If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it (Malachi 2:2-3). To Perfect the Blessings: It is written, And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that, he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly (Mark 8:22-25). To Multiply the Blessings: Scripture says, And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would (John 6:11). Therefore, nothing is preserved, perfected, and multiplied without thanksgiving. Also, thanksgiving is a mystery that makes things happen. Concerning Abraham, the Bible says, He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform (Romans 4:20-21). Nothing was happening; yet, he gave glory to God, and then his Isaac came. According to the Scriptures, we are commanded to give thanks to God for all things. The Bible says, Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:20). We are also commanded to give thanks in all things. As it is written, In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18). So, giving thanks to God is an all-time requirement; in season and out of season. Therefore, when thanksgiving becomes our lifestyle; breakthrough becomes our new identity. In conclusion, thanksgiving is key to accessing our breaking limit heritage in Christ. However, for your thanksgiving to be acceptable unto God, you must be born again. If you are not, this is an opportunity to do so. Simply say the following prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. Today, I accept You as my Lord and personal Saviour. Thank You Jesus for saving me! Now, I know I am born again!
