THE FORCE OF GRATITUDE (THANKSGIVING)

If you fail in your praise and thanksgiving, you have failed your destiny.

WHAT IS FORCE ACCORDING TO THE DICTIONARY?

A powerful effect or influence

WHAT IS GRATITUDE:

A feeling of thankfulness and appreciation.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

That you are facing something terrible isn’t reason enough for you to be thankful.

There is no excuse whatsoever why you shouldn’t be thankful.

Give thanks even when you’re going through adverse situations.

God’s will is that we be grateful no matter what situation we are in.

No child of God has an excuse to be depressed.

Gratitude is the cure for backsliding.

Esther 1:3-17, Matthew 5:14

Until the seven pick you to glorify God, you’ll always glorify from far.

If you’re struggling with gratitude, it’s because you don’t have the seven.

The seven (Holy Spirit) pick you from afar and bring you before the king of glory.

God has no problem with giving you gold and silver, houses, property and many more things, but only if it reflects His glory.

You must be conscious of who you are coming to worship.

You must be conscious that every glory around your life is because of God.

God has commanded us to give thanks to Him.

If you refuse to obey the commandment of thanksgiving, you are no longer in command.

The beauty upon your life that people praise should cause you to redirect that glory to God.

The church is a model for the rest of the world.

How will people be grateful if the church is not grateful? How will people know how to give thanks to God if the church is not giving thanks to God?

Every time gratitude is cut off from men, the land suffers.

You must understand that the reason why you are a king in this life is because there is a King of Kings.

The moment you forget; problems have started in your life.

To remember is to be thankful.

If you remember where He took you from, you will stay on top.

Honor demands that you adapt.

When forgetting enters a marriage, problems have also begun.

Deuteronomy 8:10

When we prioritize activities we are involved in at the expense of connectivity with God, disaster happens.

When God the King has on-going activities you must suspend your own activities in order to avoid being distracted.

We mess up our lives because we lack honor and respect for God.

Some people will pay K350 as a bribe to a policeman that caught them over-speeding on a Saturday afternoon, but drops K5 in the Offering basket on Sunday morning.

Malachi 1:6

God compares how we treat Him to the way we treat other human beings.

Be careful that the blessing of the Lord does not make you blind from continuous gratitude to Him that gives the blessing.

Some people misbehave when they have a little breakthrough when God intends for them to have more than that.

How much we value God is reflected in the way we behave every single day.

But for the mercies of God, many children of God would have lost their positions for behaving like Vashti.

A man that understands gratitude has real power.

WHAT DOES GENUINE PRAISE & THANKSGIVING INVOLVE?

1) Relationship

The person that is praising and thanking God has a relationship with Him

2) Appearing before God (Psalm 84:7)

⭕️Don’t pretend to be glorifying God when you are outside.

3) All that you have including you, belongs to God, and therefore, must be used for His glory (1 Chronicles 29:12)

There isn’t anything you can give that can surprise God.

4) Appearing with a grateful heart

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GRATITUDE?

1) ACCESS TO DIVINE PRESENCE (Psalm 100:5, 22:3, 16:11)

Your security for tomorrow is dependent on divine presence.

As long as you have His presence, you will live a pressure-free life.

2) IT MAGNIFIES GOD, WHICH MAGNIFIES HIS POWER OVER OUR SITUATIONS (Psalm 69:30, 34:3, Luke 1:46)

Thanksgiving causes you to see things the way God sees them.

3) IT BRINGS BALANCE TO YOUR PRAYER LIFE AND SPIRITUAL LIFE IN GENERAL WHICH MAKES YOUR PRAYERS READY TO BE ANSWERED.

(Colossians 4:2, Philippians 4:6)

Thanksgiving is the address.

Praying without thanksgiving is like sending an email without a destination email address.

4) BRINGS SUPERNATURAL MULTIPLICATION AND INCREASES (John 6:11, 11:41-44, Jeremiah 30:19-20)

If you can be thankful, what you have is enough.

What makes it not to be enough is your ingratitude.

Whatever you give thanks for has the right to multiply supernaturally.

You have no right to call for anything from God if your gratitude is not in place.

Be grateful, then declare, and you will see His hand.

Thanksgiving makes small to become great.

5) KEEPS YOU HUMBLE

 (2 Corinthians 10:17, Proverbs 16:18, 29:23, Daniel 4:30-31, Ezra 1:2, James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5)

Don’t boast in your ability but boast in what God has done.

If pride goes unchecked in your life, you will go down.

The proud are always resisted by God.

How far can you go if God is the one resisting you?

THE ANOINTING FOR SCALING NEW HEIGHTS

Esther 6:1-10

The anointing picks men from the ground and lifts them.

To be anointed means God has located you and He has an issue that He is dealing with in your life.

The anointing separates you for a special purpose God as ordained for you.

The anointing sets you apart to serve God.

By the anointing you can escape stagnation and premature death.

Many times, people lack understanding as they partake of the anointing.

The anointing makes a captain out of an ordinary man.

The anointing sets you up for favor.

Isaiah 58:14

The anointing will cause you to be God’s delight and by reason of that it will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth.

The moment oil comes on a man, the Spirit of the Lord, who is the doer of the word, comes upon that man to make sure that what is spoken upon that man comes to pass.

The anointing is earth’s response to what God has ordained.

Romans 8:28, Isaiah 14:24-27

The decree of the king is not to be challenged, it must come to pass.

The difference between driving and flying is speed.

The slowest aircraft is several times faster than the fastest car.

Speed is what will make you to swallow your losses.

You have to gather speed in order to fly.

The way you are dressed is how people will address you.

When your spiritual clothing changes, the way people address you and what you are able to attract will change too.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MORDECAI IN ESTHER 6:1-10?

1) He was given the Royal Robe worn by the king

2) He was made to ride upon the Royal Horse

3) He was made to wear the Royal Crown

4) There was a Royal Parade (procession) in his honor

5) There was a Royal Announcement by the king

          Deuteronomy 26:18-19
