BENEFITS OF THANKSGIVING!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!


SATURDAY MARCH 08, 2025.


SUBJECT : BENEFITS OF THANKSGIVING!


Memory verse: "For the LORD will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden. And her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness will be found in It, thanksgiving and the voice of melody." (Isaiah 51 vs 3.)


READ: Jeremiah 30 vs 19 - 20:

30:19: 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. 

30:20: Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before Me; and I will punish all who oppress them.

 

INTIMATION:

Giving thanks in everything is the Will of God in Christ for the believer. It is for the believers’ good and benefit. In it we access God’s many blessings:


1. Thanksgiving and praise give us direct access to God. Psalm 100 vs 4 gives these familiar words "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name." 

The gate leads into His courts, the courts lead into His presence. You get through the gates with thanksgiving, and enter the courts with praise, then you are right there before Him. In the presence of God there is fullness of joy—joy unspeakable. (Psalm 16 vs 11). Joy and gladness are established in and around us as we announce and thank Him with melodious voices. 


2. Thanksgiving preserves our blessings, “as they abound through many thanksgiving to God” (Second Corinthians 9 vs 12). This means acknowledging God for who He is—the Almighty Creator of the universe who alone is perfect and who reaches down to sinful mankind with perfect love, and has given us all things to enjoy (First Timothy 6 vs 17).


3. Thanksgiving judges God faithful, and by that reminds Him of what remains. We request from Him of our desires through thanksgiving, and receives strength for accomplishment of our desires. (Philippians 4 vs 6; Hebrews 11 vs 11).


4. Thanksgiving multiplies our blessings. In Matthew 15 vs 33 - 37, Jesus gave thanks and consequently fed four thousand people with seven loaves and a few little fish. Also in John 6 vs 1 - 11, Jesus gave thanks and fed five thousand men with five loaves and two fish. Even the believers are multiplied and glorified, ensuring our increase, sustenance, and establishment (Jeremiah 30 vs 19 - 20).


5. Thanksgiving keeps the anointing of the Holy Spirit alive in our life, and working, ensuring that we are empowered to be rooted, built up in Him, and established in faith and abounding in it (Psalm 92 vs 10 - 11; Colossians 2 vs 7).


6. Thanksgiving moves God to punish and silence our enemies and oppressors, that our desires on them are not only heard by us, but also seen with our own eyes (Psalm 92 vs 11; Jeremiah 30 vs 20).


Thanksgiving therefore, is our means of ensuring our multiplication, establishment, accomplishment, and reminding God of our outstanding petitions. It is our weapon of offense against our enemies. In it believers obtain good reports.


Prayer: Abba Father, You are ever faithful, abounding in mercy, and kindness. Thanking You for who You are, what You have done, what You are doing, and what You are yet to do engender our continual receiving from You. Endue me with the heart of gratitude that I may be thankful to You in everything according to Your Will, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

“You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” (Matthew 27:65) When Jesus was dead and buried, with a big stone rolled against the tomb, the Pharisees came to Pilate and asked for permission to seal the stone and guard the tomb. They gave it their best shot — in vain. It was hopeless then, it is hopeless today, and it will always be hopeless. Try as they may, people can’t keep Jesus down. They can’t keep him buried. It’s not hard to figure out: He can break out because he wasn’t forced in. He let himself be libeled and harassed and blackballed and scorned and shoved around and killed. I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. (John 10:17–18) No one can keep him down because no one ever knocked him down. He lay down when he was ready. When it looks like he is buried for good, Jesus is doing something awesome in the dark. “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how” (Mark 4:26–27). The world thinks Jesus is done for — out of the way — but Jesus is at work in the dark places. “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24). He let himself be buried — “no one takes [my life] from me” — and he will come out in power when and where he pleases — “I have authority to take it up again.” “God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it” (Acts 2:24). Jesus has his priesthood today “by the power of an indestructible life” (Hebrews 7:16). For twenty centuries, the world has given it their best shot — in vain. They can’t bury him. They can’t hold him in. They can’t silence him or limit him. Jesus is alive and utterly free to go and come wherever he pleases. Trust him and go with him, no matter what. You cannot lose in the end.
