Lift your voice and give glory to God this morning, appreciate Him for these testimonies, liberation testimonies, evidences of the mandate. The mighty hand of God in our midst, let’s give Him glory, let’s give Him honour and let’s give Him adoration.
Bless the name of the Lord He is worthy of praise, bless the name of the Lord He is worthy of honour. Appreciate Him and give Him all the praise that is due unto His name. Make sure your voice of thanksgiving is recorded on high. Give Him glory and bless His holy name.
Celebrate Him for these marvelous acts, give Him all the praise and the glory due unto Him and bless the name of the Most High God.
Now begin to ask Him to speak to you this morning. Lord I’ve come here for your Word from Heaven. Speak to me today by Your Word. Let my life be transformed. Blessed be Your holy name in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Lord Jesus we are before You this morning with gratitude in our hearts for all that You have done. Everytime we call You, You answer us. Testimonies are bound in our lives and in our midst to show that Your mighty hand has never departed, for it we give You all the praise. This morning one more time we are in Your presence asking for a Word from Heaven. Speak to us and let our lives be transformed. We give You all the praise in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Now from Scriptures it is made clear to us that no prophetic Word can be fulfilled in the energy of the flesh.
1st Samuel 2:9
There is no prophetic Word that can ever be brought to pass in the energy of the flesh. What that means is that no man’s hand is sufficient to execute any prophetic word. It is only God’s hand that can fulfill anything that God says. Therefore if it is God’s plan it will take God’s hand.
1st Kings 8:15
If it is God’s plan, it will take God’s hand. Therefore it means that fulfilment of prophecy requires divine intervention. It is the hand of God that has the ability to fulfill, to perform, to deliver the plan of God. If we’re going to see God’s intervention then we’ll require the force of thanksgiving and praise as a lifestyle.
1st Thessalonians 5:18
Hebrews 10:36
The promise will not be fulfilled or delivered until the will of God is done and the will of God that must be done is the expression of thanksgiving. That is why no one experiences divine intervention without deliberate appreciation. If you have not learnt to be thankful you cannot experience the hand of God.
Psalms 22:3
Until praise is present, praise is absent. It is the atmosphere of praise and thanksgiving that prepares for God’s intervention.
Psalms 114:1-7
God said “I will bring you out” but for you to come you need to bring me in. It was in praise and thanksgiving that they attracted God’s attention in order to secure God’s intervention.
Exodus 15:11
God is never dormant in praise, God is always doing in praise. Everytime we find a life that is full of praise it cannot be barren of the acts of God. When you find a life that is full of gratitude and thanksgiving that life cannot be barren of the acts of God.
It’s takes the gratitude offered to God to stimulate the intervention of God.
Psalms 68:24-25
That’s why this week we’re going to be looking at this exhortation captioned
ENGAGING THE POWER OF THANKSGIVING FOR FULFILMENT OF PROPHECY
We have just been ushered into our Promised Land loaded with prophetic Words but to see those prophecies manifested there is a requirement to offer genuine thanks unto God.
We look at the example of Jesus in Scriptures.
John 5:25
There was a prophecy. At that time nothing had happened in the ministry of Jesus. A Word that had come from Heaven, something that was going to happen, just like we have returned from this prophetic feast with many prophecies of things that are going to happen. But how was He going to stimulate God’s intervention to see what God has said come to pass? The Bible tells us that His friend Lazarus suddenly was dead.
In John 11:39-44
we’re told about Jesus’ reaction. Jesus appeared at the tomb of Lazarus and He said “Father I thank You because I know that you hear me always. I have prayed but I have come with the key that will stimulate Your intervention. I thank You because I know that You hear me always”. He says “but for these I’m saying this unto You”. From there He says “Lazarus come forth” and then he that was dead came out bound, hand and foot. God stepped in to turn around the situation at the instance of appreciation. I’d like you to understand therefore that as we have emergegd from this Prophetic Feast, never allow anything draw complaint out of your mouth. Let it only be the voice of thanksgiving. That is the key to transformation.
Isaiah 51:1-3
You want to see transformation, you must engage appreciation.
That is why it becomes so important for you to go back in gratitude to God for every Word that you have received. Go back in gratitude for the Words received because in the Kingdom we trade with words. It is words that changes our world. So you pick the Word and you give glory to Him for it. All that Jesus had that was going to secure the ressurection of Lazarus was a Word. What was that Word? “The hour is coming and now is when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of man and they that hear shall live”. All He had was a Word but with that Word He gave thanks and returned with divine intervention.
Did anybody here receive a Word at the Prophetic Feast? Did you get any Word from God? Did God say anything particularly to You? Did your eyes open to something that you have not seen before? If you have received a Word from God then God is requiring thanks from you. That is the key to seeing prophecies fulfilled. Not only were we receiving revelations but God was unveiling His agenda to us, releasing Prophetic Words concerning things to come, expanding to us the reality of our Promised Land. Making us see where He has brought us into. Now that you know, you know that He has said it, what He requires from you is thanksgiving. Appreciation, as you begin giving to God , you begin seeing His hand perform His Word in your direction.
- No one here will miss out on divine performance of every word spoken.
Now in the same vein, we see from Scriptures that thanksgiving and praise is a requirement to keep the Church of Christ growing. Not only is thanksgiving required for prophecy but to see the Church keep growing, thanksgiving is required.
Acts 2:46-47
For continuous growth there must be continuous thanks. We have heard the testimony of this Commission how that at the inception among other things there was a City wide crusade. You know what City wide crusade means? The whole City is supposed to come. The highest attendance in that City wide crusade was 63. You’re expecting the whole city and when the whole city gathered 63 people came. Even a village crusade should be more than that but rather than complaining, as thanksgiving began to go up to God the hand of God began to come down to us and began to bring intervention so that where there was reduction he turned it to multiplication. That is the power of gratitude. Addition increases multiplication and today we see the hand of God everywhere because thanksgiving has never stopped. So for us as individuals and for us as a Church thanksgiving must become our lifestyle.
My prayer for each one of us today is that the grace to maintain a life of gratitude may it come afresh upon each one.
Will you rise up on your feet this morning and if you can recall any Word that you received from Heaven lift your hand and give God thanks for it. The Prophetic Word that has come your way already, the blessing of His Word that has come your way already, the reality of the Promised Land that has come your way already.
Lift your hands and your voice, give Him all the praise for specifics of the Prophetic Words that have come your way. For bringing you into this Promised Land where you will eat bread without scarceness, for bringing you into this Promised Land where you will see the goodness of God in dimensions never experienced before, where eyes have not seen, the things that ears have not heard will become order of the day in your life.
Will you give Him all the praise, all the glory, all the honour, all the adoration for bringing you to this Promised Land where He will multiply your days, where long life is guaranteed for you. Will you give Him glory, honour, adoration for bringing you into this land where none of the inhabitants will say I’m sick again. Appreciate Him from the depth of your heart. As you’re thanking Him he is performing it.
Father we say thank you, blessed be Your holy name in Jesus precious name we have given thanks.
As you have offered thanks to Him today the hand of God shall be stretched in your direction to perform His Word. So shall it be in Jesus precious name.
It is wisdom for us to go over our various notes and begin to highlight points of thanksgiving, areas to boost our gratitude. We have been told to take CDs and just dance before God. Celebrate Him. Let us make sure we take advantage of it and God will decorate you. Welcome to your season of testimonies. Welcome to the reality of your Promised Land. Give glory to God
Right now begin to speak into your day.
- It’s a day with a difference.
- A day if blessing.
- A day of breakthroughs.
- A day of testimonies.
- A day if progress.
- No tears, no concerns, no evil tidings, a glorious day, a productive day.
Thank You Lord in Jesus precious name we have prayed. As you have declared so shall it be unto you.
This new week is blessed,
- It will be a week of testimonies.
- The manifestation of your Promised Land begins now in the name of Jesus. So shall it be in Jesus name amen
