Unacceptable Thanksgiving

Unacceptable Thanksgiving - Part 2

#Thanksgiving Day 11

Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering...

Genesis 4:4

Continuation on Unacceptable Thanksgiving. It’s not every thanksgiving offered that is been acceptable by God. Last post talk about Thanksgiving from a disobedient heart not acceptable.

Another unacceptable Thanksgiving is a thanksgiving with the wrong attitude. Thanksgiving must be done cheerfully, willingly, joyfully and done right.

Cain and Abel both offered burnt offering to God from their flocks and crops respectively. But Abel offering was acceptable because he did right and Cain own was rejected.

Our thanksgiving to God must done in the right manner and right way. You don’t thank God anyhow. You must be intentional about your thanksgiving to God.

Thanksgiving starts from the heart. And the state of your heart influences your action. It is said that as a man thinks, so is he. Cain and Abel, after their harvest, came to humble themselves before the Lord and express their gratitude to God.

You will note that God accepts or rejects the person before He considers their offering. This is because He first examines their heart and attitude.

You don’t give thanks to God Without your heart in it. Be truly grateful to God and not thanking just for thanks same.

Is the eleventh day of our Thanks-filled month; With a great full heart, with a song praise and with a outstretched arm, give thanks to God.

Do have a great day!

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...
