- Where people used to find you before, they will look for you diligently, they won’t find you there again.
UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF THANKSGIVING TOWARDS FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECIES
1 Thessalonians 5:18
WHAT IS THANKSGIVING?
Thanksgiving is prayer expressing gratitude to God. It’s a known fact that your level of gratitude determines your altitude in life. How deep your gratitude is, is a determining factor of how high you will fly.
*None of us shall be found at the same spot where we were at the beginning of this year in Jesus name.
There is immense power in Thanksgiving.
WHY DO WE HAVE TO GIVE THANKS UNTO GOD?
- We give thanks unto God for the things He has done for us.
- We are commanded to give thanks unto God to make things happen for us.
- As we dedicate more time to thanksgiving in our lives personally, things that seem to be so far away, God will supernaturally grant them to us in supernatural speed beyond what you can imagine in Jesus name.
In the past 21 days of prayers and fasting, several issues, personally, you have taken to God in prayer and I’m sure that as you begin to take a harvest of all these answers, it will help us, more so as we employ the power that is in thanksgiving.
We have been instructed clearly by God’s servant to make time available, document these issues and begin to tick them one after the other and I tell you it will surprise you what God has already done and also strengthen your faith to be able to see how speedily God will confirm the remaining answers in your life.
*This year, God will not only release answers to all of your requests, but He will go beyond it in Jesus name.
It is very important for us to understand that God’s prophetic plan for us is as contained in His Word (2 Peter 1:19-20) Church Gist Where is the prophetic plan that God has for you and me? It is in His Word, the Bible. God’s Word is a more sure word of prophecy.
- What God has declared concerning you and I will find complete fulfillment in Jesus name.
Among other things, we have been told this year is our year of Supernatural Turnaround. - God will turn things around in someone’s favour that will turn you to a surprise.
- Where people used to find you before, they will look for you diligently, they won’t find you there again. They will have to look up in the sky to be able to locate from henceforth through the power of thanksgiving.
God’s Word, the Bible is a more sure Word of prophecy and we see this example of how prophecy got fulfilled in the days of Jehoshaphat and the Nation of Judah (2 Chronicles 20:1, 17-18, 24)
“You shall not need to fight in this battle” (2 Chronicles 20:17)
- God is saying that to you and me this morning.
“None escaped” (2 Chronicles 20:24)
How did they ensure the fulfillment of this prophecy? By thanksgiving, high praises, singing, rejoicing: none of their enemies escaped. They won the battle. Church Gist The Prophetic Word that was spoken concerning them came to pass cheaply. - God will repeat the same thing in someone’s life today.
Until they began to sing and to praise before God took over the battle of their lives and won the victory on their behalf (2 Chronicles 20:20).
- God is going to win the victory on your behalf.
- That testimony that you have been looking unto God for, as you engage in obedience, God will make it happen for you speedily.
The testifier said, “they obeyed the instructions from the altar” and 13 years of barrenness was cheaply humiliated (documented testimony). The interesting part of it, the woman was pregnant for 4 months without either of them knowing. - God is a God of again and again. What He did in the lives of that couple, He will repeat it in someone’s life today.
- As you obey the instructions of Thanksgiving and Praise in this season, you will return with your testimony.
- You will not only return with your testimonies; you will return as a living proof.
Say with me: I receive it.
“Father, I receive my testimonies as I give you quality thanks.”
“Father, I thank You because You are faithful. I am grateful.”
As you have declared it, may your gratitude be acceptable unto God. May the spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving go home with each of us again this morning, in Jesus mighty name.
