BEHIND EVERY GOOD THING IN YOUR LIFE IS GOD AT WORK.
THE REASON FOR INGRATITUDE IS PRIDE
THERE IS NOTHING YOU AND I HAVE THAT WAS NOT GIVEN TO US BY GOD
GIVE HIM THANKS FOR WHAT YOU HAVE AND THEN YOU HAVE REMINDED HIM OF WHAT REMAINS.
- Bishop David Oyedepo at Covenant Hour of Prayer || 5th September 2022.
Thank you Jesus. We are in another hosanna season. Season of high praises. God is changing people’s stories dramatically. My prayer is that this will be a season of reference in your life. Everything about that lady changed, everything turned because she was awake. Church Gist. Spiritual slumber is a risk. Grace to stay awake all through this month receive it now in Jesus name. Ephesians 5:14. Lift your hands to heaven and receive grace to stay awake.
Father Lord thank you for today, we are here in your presence, manifest yourself in our midst.
It takes joy and rejoicing to secure divine presence. Psalm 16:11. Joy and rejoicing is a scarce commodity but it is a free offer in the kingdom. Redemption offers freely the grace to keep rejoicing all the days of their lives. We have the joy of salvation, every one still has that. Church Gist. It is one of the fundamental fruits of the spirit. We have joy in the Holy Ghost. They thought they were drunk with wine on the day of Pentecost because of the hilarious joy that erupted. Romans 14:17. We have the joy of access to revelation. Jeremiah 15:16. So we are cocooned with joy. Overflowing joy is what redemption offers. It is not available in town, it is not on the streets. There are complaints and murmurings over there. They call it joy unspeakable and full of glory. May it be your portion all through your days of life.
We also know it takes thanksgiving and praise to provoke the manifestation of the manifest presence of God. Because God inhabits the praise of his people. Psalm 22:3. 2 Chronicles 20:22-24. Acts 16:25-26. Church Gist. It takes Thanksgiving and praise to provoke the manifest presence of God which is all we need to win the battles of life. Satan hates to watch us step into the realm of joy and rejoicing, thanksgiving and praise because then we have finished him. May no devil succeed to steal your joy anymore.
Then we have the joy of gratitude, if you are not grateful you cannot be truly joyful. But you cannot be grateful and not be joyful. The reason for ingratitude is pride. God should know I am bigger than where I am now. God should know I should not be driving this kind of car now. I should be walking on foot. Pride, arrogance, pomposity. Nothing depresses like ingratitude. I slept and I woke up not because I am so sound and strong but because He sustained me. Church Gist. Psalm 3:5. There are people who never had any ache, any stomach pain, no headache, no history of sickness, they just slept and didn’t wake up. Here you are waking up every morning and jumping up and down and still complaining. God, what did you do? God never slept or slumbered to keep you alive. Ingratitude is a robber of joy. Please give up on it. Psalm 92:1-2.
Please note that a man can receive nothing except it be given to him from above. John 3:27. There is nothing you and I have but as given us by God. If you have anything in your life, something of value in your life. It is given to you from above. 1 Corinthians 4:7. We need a life of gratitude to maintain a life of joy and rejoicing. May you never miss out on the blessings of joy and rejoicing. Proverbs 17:22. Nehemiah 8:10. Isaiah 12:3. Amazing things that accompany joy and rejoicing are just lost by allowing the devil to break your joy for nonsense. Church Gist. You are looking for a job, thank God that you are even a candidate for a job. What if you never finished school? Thank God you are a candidate. You are a candidate for marriage? Thank God if you were bedridden is it marriage you will be talking about? If He keeps you healthy and strong He has settled your marriage. Give Him thanks for what you have and then you have reminded Him of what remains.
We must continue to acknowledge God for His goodness and mercy to retain his blessings. Behind every good thing in your life is God at work.
- May His covenant peace that pertains to every one of us under the shepherdhood of Christ remain the portion of each one.
- The evil beasts that rob people of their lot in life are cursed on your behalf.
- From henceforth self announcing testimonies become the order of the days in your life.
- The activities of evil beasts around everyone’s life come to an end in the name of Jesus.
- Under these showers of blessing, you never see shame again.
- Every issue of shame around anyone’s life goes to an end today in the name of Jesus.
- Your going out is declared blessed, your coming in is declared blessed.
- This month is declared a month of a downpour of favour. Church Gist. Favour in the morning, favour in the afternoon, favour in the night, in the name of Jesus.
Isaiah 61:9.
In the name of Jesus, none of our seeds shall be destroyed.
- From today, God’s blessings on your life shall be seen by all you come across.
Welcome under the shower of blessings. This month will not leave you the way it met you. This shall be the month of a difference in your life. In Jesus’ precious name.
Psalm 103:1-4.
- Every plague of forgetfulness of God’s benefits comes to an end today.
It is not who gave you a car or a house. Who forgave your iniquities, that is where life begins. Who heals your diseases, that is where life is built upon. Arrows are flying by day and by night and you walk freely because He delivers you from destruction. The same road you passed, people went that same road at the same time and could not return. Church Gist. He delivers your soul and my soul from destruction. Forget not His benefits. Your most valuable asset on this earth is salvation. The gift of eternal life for free without having to pay a dime for it and you don’t want to be grateful for that? Then what are you going to be grateful for? Today is preserved, tomorrow is guaranteed and eternity secured.
- From henceforth remembering His benefits becomes your new lifestyle.
- You never go down again in life.
- Those who see you from now will know that something has broken loose in your life.
Keep pressing it is a most rewarding race. You shall not miss your place.
- The week is declared your week of triumph. Your week of testimonies, your testimonies are starting this morning.
