Thanksgiving
is the acknowledgement of God as the one behind of every good thing in and
around us.
“John answered
and said, a man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.”
Jn.3:27.
Whatever a man claims he has is what he has
received.
“………………And what hast thou
that thou didst not receive? Now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory,
as if thou hadst not received it?” 1Cor.4:7
Everything good and perfect comes from the Lord.
A man can receive nothing except it is given him from above. For example,
Shiloh 2013 was a success because God made it so.
WHAT GOD DID FOR US AT SHILOH 2013
1.
God answered our prayers concerning Shiloh 2013.
We had perfect weather, the video and audio coverage was perfect. Jer.33:3.
2.
God disappointed the devices of the enemy.
Jn.5:12
3.
God sent His word and confirmed it with signs
following. Mrk.16:20
4.
God turned captivities in the lives of His
people. There were miracles of all kinds. Ps.126:1-2.
WHY MUST WE GIVE THANKS?
1.
Thanksgiving is the will of God. 1Thess.5:18.
Everytime we give thanks, we are doing His will. Ps.92:1, Luk.17:17. Each time
God is good to you, He expects you to come back and give thanks.
2.
Thanksgiving perfects our blessings. To perfect
means to make whole or complete. The only leper that returned to give thanks to
God among the ten, after healing received the perfection of his healing.
Luk.17:15. Giving thanks brings perfection of our miracles.
3.
Thanksgiving multiplies our blessings. Nothing
depreciates when you give thanks to God. Jn.6:9, Jer.30:19.
