There’s power in prayers - James 5:16

There’s power in praise - 2 Chronicles 20:20-25

There’s power in Thanksgiving. Our God is worth of thanksgiving. Giving Thanks is a divine expectations. God desire and deserves it. 

In everything Give Thanks cause this is the WILL of Christ Jesus concerning you. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord. We all believe that too much of everything is bad. But not like giving thanks. 

- Eating too much is not a good thing because it can lead to poverty - Proverbs 23:21b. 

- Sleeping too much can lead to poverty - Proverbs 6:10:11

- Spending too much without saving is bad because it can also lead to poverty. 

But too much of thanksgiving is not bad because thanksgiving is a magnet.

1. Giving thanks can provoke divine multiplication - Mark 8:1-10, John 6:5-13. Giving thanks will multiply your blessings. The power of thanksgiving can provoke multiplication for you. If you want God to multiply you then learn to give Him thanks. 

2. Giving Thanks can provoke restoration - John 11:43-44. Lazarus came back to life after Jesus gave Thanks. 

3. Giving Thanks can provoke Divine multiplication or blessings. Ten lepers were healed but only one came back to give thanks and Jesus made him whole. There’s a difference between healing and health. 

4. Giving Thanks can provoke deliverance - Psalm 50:14-15. Do you want deliverance then give thanks. Offer unto God thanksgiving and pay your vow unto Him and call upon Him and He will deliver you.

Your thanksgiving will make the difference for you. Teach your children thanksgiving. 

Check your life, what are you searching or looking for? The things you are looking for are not missing because the Bible says seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you - Matthew 6:33.

Those things you are looking for her not missing but you don’t know. The Joy, the Peace, the comfort. 

Friends, what is that thing that is not missing that you are looking for.  Appreciate what you have now and give thanks to God always. Thank God for your little. Thank for the roof over your head. Thank God for food on your table. Thank God you can talk, walk, eat, see, hear, smell, stand, breath in and out, and every things you can do. And can not do. Always give thanks to God. 

Do you know that God created everything before man, and that same man that God created last God made dominate over everything He created first. And that same God you can not appreciate. 

Look at your body, are you not grateful for the way He created you? Always Thank God. 

When God created man, He breath the breathe of life into Him that’s how man came into existence. If God take out that breath out of you then that body remain back to dust. It doesn’t cost God anything to take away that Loan of Life He gave us. Appreciate God always. 

If you want God to help you then you have to surrender your life to God by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. 

Accept Jesus Christ today and be saved.
