THANKSGIVING SERVICE 25TH SEPTEMBER, 2021

avatar

Summary of what I learnt from the teachings of brother Daniel on our thanksgiving service held on Zoom.

Through our thanksgiving we are proclaiming the Excellency of God who called us.
The prophecy of God should be fulfilled in us.

Jeremiah 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.

1 Peter 2:5
ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

God is well pleased with our offering of thanksgiving with our mouth.

Hebrew 13:16
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

The doing of good works is part of the spiritual sacrifices .
Christ is the head of the body which is the church.

Colossians 1:18
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

The doing of good, giving contributions and giving thanks to God with our lips are spiritual sacrifices.

Mathew 28:20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

A sacrifice of the wicked is an abdomination unto God. You will only be able to offer thanksgiving and your Thanksgiving will be accepted if you offer the members of your busy as an instrument of righteousness to God.

Romans 6:13
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

If sin rules in you, you cannot give thanks to God and it will be accepted
If your soul is imprison you cannot give thanks, even if you give thanks it will not be considered by God.

Psalm 142:7
7Bring my soul out of prison,

That I may praise thy name:

The righteous shall compass me about;

For thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

Jeremiah 5:25
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you

Thanksgiving should be practiced because it is an activity that gives us an opportunity to show how grateful we are for all we have and all we are yet to receive from our maker.

Sometimes, people make the mistake of saying that they have nothing to thank God for probably because the car they want to buy is not yet affordable to them.

If that's the case, how about the life that they are living and the good things that are happening to them?

We Christians really need to be more appreciative of the little things we have and give thanks to our maker.

Well Done Dear
