Text: Psalm 100:4
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Thanksgiving is a powerful spiritual attitude that acknowledges God as the true source of every blessing. When we give thanks, we honour God and recognize His hand in our lives. Scripture invites us to enter His presence with thanksgiving, because a grateful heart attracts more grace (Psalm 100:4).
Complaints shut doors, but gratitude opens new ones. The Bible instructs us to give thanks in all circumstances, knowing that thanksgiving releases joy and strengthens faith (1 Thessalonians 5:18). A thankful heart sees possibilities where others see problems and remains hopeful even in challenging seasons.
Jesus demonstrated the power of thanksgiving when He gave thanks before the miracle of feeding the multitude occurred. His act of appreciation preceded multiplication, teaching us that gratitude often comes before breakthrough (John 6:11). Thanksgiving prepares the ground for God’s supernatural intervention.
As you walk through this year, make thanksgiving your daily habit. Instead of anxiety and worry, let gratitude fill your heart and prayers. When thanksgiving becomes your lifestyle, God’s peace guards your heart and keeps you joyful (Philippians 4:6).
Prayer Nugget: Father, I thank you for all you have done and all you will do this year in Jesus name.
