Thanksgiving: Reasons For Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving: Reasons For Thanksgiving - Part 3

#Thanksgiving Day 19

Reasons For Thanksgiving:

Among many others, another reason for which we can express our thanks is The Blessings of the Lord.

The poorest of us have some good things--some health, some friends, some food, some clothing, some sunshine. We need to emphasize these blessings more. With the blessing of God we can be rich even when we are poor, for "the blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich." (Proverbs 10:22).

Too many times we have taken the blessings of the Lord for granted. We hardly say thank you to those daily blessings we received from Him. The fact you can go the restroom and ease yourself is a blessing. All those little things we take for granted, we should be grateful for them. If you think it was your alarm clock that woke you up today, try putting it next to a dead man.

Some people act as if they had nothing to be thankful for!

A lack of thankfulness is a lack of thoughtfulness.

Ingratitude is probably the less attractive attitude anyone could possess.

Before you go about your daily activities, Thank Him for yesterday blessings, thank Him for today blessings and thank Him for tomorrow blessings as well.

It’s not as if we deserve the blessings just like that but because of His grace and mercy, we are blessed. That is enough reason to thank Him.

It’s the Nineteenth Day of December, our thanks-filled month. This is a thanksgiving season. Start your day by thanking God for His blessings over you.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value. Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva. When
