When we disregard the hand of God in our lives, we suffer setbacks.
If you don’t know how to be grateful for small things, you will not appreciate God for anything big. Acts 12:23
Thanksgiving is painted as a covenant elevator to our high places in life.
“Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls— Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills. To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments.”
Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NKJV)
Joel 1:12. Don’t destroy your harvest, connect in thanksgiving, and you will be glad you did. Rejoicing in the Lord is celebrating God for what we have seen and what we have not seen.
Nothing multiplies while murmuring. Everything multiplies with thanksgiving.
An excerpt from a sermon by Bishop David Oyedepo at the Covenant Hour of Prayer on Tuesday, August 1, 2023.
