**The Power of Thanksgiving** Today, as I listened to my pastor speak on Thanksgiving, my heart resonated deeply with the message. One key lesson stood out: *never compare your journey to others.* Life unfolds in seasons, and when it’s your time, nothing can stop the blessings God has in store for you (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Thanksgiving is more than gratitude—it's a spiritual currency that speeds up answered prayers. When we pray with joy, a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22), and offer genuine thanksgiving, it results in praise. And when praise goes up, God's presence comes down (Psalm 22:3). God works wonders in the midst of praise. It attracts His divine presence, and where God is, goodness and mercy follow (Psalm 23:6). If you're seeking a breakthrough, add thanksgiving to your prayers, and watch God move. #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #FaithJourney #PraiseAndWorship #DivinePresence #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianLiving

Greetings to you all friends wishing you a very happy Sunday ❤️ 🌺 🌹 💐 🎉 💖 HIGHER EVERYDAY To All and All DATE:12 May 2024 TOPIC:DO NOT WORRY MEMORY VERSE: “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” READ:PHILIPPIANS 4: 4-7 MESSAGE: We may define worry as the state of mind that shows a lack of poise or confidence in oneself, leading to fear and emotional imbalance. Hence S. T. Ludwig clarifies, “Worry and faith are incompatible. If your faith is strong, you need not worry. If it was weak, worrying won't help.” Moreover, Jesus said, “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat and the body more than raiment?”Since God cannot lie, worrying about the necessities of life is worthless. Worrying makes you an unbeliever and hinders you from receiving and enjoying the promises of God (See James 1:6-8). God who provides for birds and clothes the lilies will take care of you. He will supply all you need, irrespective of the challenges in the world. You have nothing to worry about as a child in God's kingdom. The cure for anxiety is praying, supplicating and thanksgiving in all things. PRAYER: My God, cure me of unbelief, in Jesus’ name. CHALLENGE: Nothing to worry about

𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 . . Common sense is a basic human ability to perceive, understand,and judge things or ideas shared by or common to nearly all people. Common sense is ordinary good sense, and it keeps us from doing foolish or hurtful things. However, We basically use prayer to drag God into matters and that's why the power of prayer kicks in at the point of our weakness, at helpless times. ¶𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳 J𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 G𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 G𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 G𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 G𝘰𝘥.¶ →It tells us not to go for a mile walk outdoors without a cloth on. →It tells us not to buy something we cannot afford. →It tells us to eat when hungry. →It helps us differentiate our right from the left, and so on. Prayer and common sense can be used together to make good decisions and have sound judgment. Common sense is God-given free natural intelligence. It comes with birth and with life experience. Prayer is not an enemy of common sense. Prayer changes us, prepares us, and helps us see what yet can be revealed to come to pass. So often, many people pray, and their prayer request is separated from the response they are looking for. E get why❕ It is a beautiful thing when common sense is applied to our prayers. As you pray, put yourself in a position where God can answer your prayers through you. If you want your life to run smoothly, you need to use good sense and sound judgment on practical matters. The shocker⚡ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ There are certain things common sense will solve right away, not everything we pray for. ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ God created common sense for a purpose, for us to use it to make good decisions that make life smooth. My prayers for you today is God bless you with all that your heart desires. Have a Happy Sunday Family 💙💙💙. P.S: It's my Family thanksgiving today❕ #20DayLinkedInShowUpChallengeWithNwanyieze #GodIsGreat #AllOfMyWorshipBelongsToGod #Blessing

#gracedews November Theme: Gratitude Journaling: Remembering His Goodness Week Four: A Heart of Thanksgiving Beloved brothers and sisters, As we come to the final week of our gratitude journey, let’s reflect on the transformative power of having a heart of thanksgiving. Throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to give thanks to God, not only for the blessings we receive but for the spiritual renewal that comes when we embrace gratitude as a way of life. A heart of thanksgiving is not just a response to God’s goodness; it is a reflection of a life aligned with His will. It draws us closer to God, fills us with peace, and renews our minds, allowing us to experience His presence more fully. Thanksgiving in Scripture: The Bible is filled with exhortations to give thanks to God. Psalm 100:4 says, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.” This passage reminds us that thanksgiving is our entry point into God’s presence. When we come before Him with a grateful heart, we open ourselves to His love and grace in deeper ways. In 1 Chronicles 16:34, we are told, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” Thanksgiving is an acknowledgment of God's enduring goodness, and it shifts our focus from our circumstances to His eternal nature. No matter what we are going through, God's love remains constant, and that alone is a reason to give thanks. contd in the comments section 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

THE THANKSGIVING FACTOR In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 One of the things that made people such dynamic Christians is the fact that they chose to see life from God’s perspective. In the worst of situations, they find new insights to praise and thank God. The Bible tells us that we are to give thanks in everything, the good things AND the bad things. In Psalm 50:23, God says, “He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me.” In the hard times, thanksgiving is difficult. It is definitely a sacrifice to thank God in our troubles, but it is so very necessary. Thanksgiving honors God, and when you and I honor God, He honors us (1 Samuel 2:30). How is your thanksgiving factor? Are you facing tough times? Have you been griping and complaining about the things in your life that are hard, lonely and frustrating? Jesus is there: He knows about it, He is over it, and He cares for you. Without question, Jesus has a purpose in every trial and tribulation. Start today to live a life of thanksgiving. If you will do it, your attitude will change, the people around you will be blessed, and Jesus Christ will be glorified and honored. Thank You Jesus, Help me share this joy of thanksgiving this Holiday with all I encounter. Amen Give THANKS ALWAYS! Ecclesiastes 7:14 “Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life.” Ultimately, the verse points to a deeper spiritual truth that transcends the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits, inviting the reader to seek lasting meaning and fulfillment in a right relationship with God.

Don’t Be Too Busy for God In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to let prayer take a backseat. But can I remind you of something powerful? We make time for what we value most. Prayer is not just a moment to talk to God; it’s where we receive His strength, guidance, and peace for everything else we have to do. Don’t let the urgency of your day rob you of the intimacy that comes from quality time with God. Spending time in prayer isn’t a task—it’s a lifeline. It aligns our hearts with His will, gives clarity in chaos, and reminds us that we don’t have to carry life’s burdens alone. Today, make a commitment to prioritize time with God. Start your day with Him, pause midday to reconnect, and end your day in His presence. You’ll find that when you seek Him first, everything else begins to fall into place. #prayerispowerful #praywithoutceasing
