Dear Christian Believers,
Greetings and God bless you and your families in the
name of Jesus Christ
It is October 20th as I write this newsletter.
It is a cool morning, very fall like and the leaves are starting
to change rapidly. Before long we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving,
and then it's one holiday after another. It's nice to have a holiday
once a year to remember our thankfulness, but what's the matter
with just getting up everyday and thanking GOD for all HE has done
throughout the generations, and especially your life. How well are
you doing building a habit of being thankful, by manifesting
a life of thankfulness to GOD, His Son Jesus Christ. That's having
the genuine spirit of Thanksgiving. Have you ever noticed, thanksgiving
is made up of two words, thanks and giving. To
be thankful, is to give. That's how we acknowledge our thankfulness,
and appreciation. One way we can give is by letting others know
why you are thankful, and by giving credit to the person or thing
responsible for your rejoicing. There are many scriptures full of
testimonies of thankfulness to God.
Psalms 69:30
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him
with thanksgiving.
I and WILL are the
greatest two words in life. Our lives are made up of nothing but
I and WILL. We choose what we say and do. In a
court of law when sworn in to testify to be truthful, the witness
will say... “I WILL” Also when the minister
does a wedding ceremony and vows are asked of the bride and groom,
they answer... “I WILL” In both cases the person
chooses what they say, and what they will do. Without I
and WILL, no habit of thankfulness will ever be
developed.
Psalms 95:2-3
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a
joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the LORD is a great God, and
a great King above all gods.
We have the greatness GOD there is.
THere is no other god greater, and that includes the god of this
world. The Word of GOD says, “all things are possible
for them that believe GOD”, also it says, “nothing
is too big for GOD.” For HIM to by your GOD and your
Father is certainly something to make a joyful noise about, to sing
and shout it from the mountain tops.
Psalms 147:5-7
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he
casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving;
sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
Psalms 91:1-2, 4
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my
refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield
and buckler.
What a tremendous truth this is for
the Christian believer. To triumph in the works of HIS hands.
So let us give thanks, and be thankful
to our GOD. For HE is great and greatly to be praised. He is the
GOD above all gods, HE is faithful and compassionate, and HIS understanding
is infinite. Let us acknowledge our thankfulness everyday in what
we say and do, and how we live our lives. Be proud of our GOD and
Father and let the world know it.
JOHN
