TOPIC: The Power Of Gratitude (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 4 July 2022)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 8:16-29, 2 Kings 9, Acts 23:12-35, Psalm 80:1-7

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalm 92:1-15 (KJV)

1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:

2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

15 To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

MEMORY VERSE: “For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.” – 2 Corinthians 4:15

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
Gratitude can turn denial to acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity, a meal to a feast, a house to a home and a stranger to a friend.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I PRAY THAT YOUR LIFE OF GRATITUDE TO GOD WILL SERVE AS THE KEY TO OPEN YOUR DOOR OF BREAKTHROUGHS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

MFM Devotional For Today MESSAGE:

Yesterday, we established the biblical truth that it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises to His holy name (Psalm 92). We also stressed that every believer should practise daily thanksgiving because everyone has something to thank God for.

Today, we shall look further at the power and benefits of giving gratitude to God. First, gratitude glorifies God. It is a way of exalting the Giver of every good gift and acknowledging that all that we have and enjoy: life, health, family, provisions, and so on come from Him and because of His unconditional and unparalleled love for us. In 2 Corinthians 4:15, the Bible says, “For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.” The Scripture tells us that as God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory.

Second, gratitude helps us to see God. Your regular expression of gratitude, thanks and appreciation to God will open your spiritual eyes. As someone put it, “There is a beautiful cycle in giving God thanks: the more we thank Him, the more we see Him working in us and around us”. Gratitude helps us to sense and experience God’s presence, care and personal timing. That is why the Bible affirms this in James 1:16-17, “Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights” (NKJV).

Third, one very important benefit of giving thanks to God is that it puts us squarely in the will of God. The will of God is simply obedience — living in complete obedience to His word or command. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, God commands us to give thanks in all circumstances (pleasant and unpleasant) for that is His will for us in Christ Jesus.

Truly, giving thanks to God should be a non-stop affair in the lives of individuals, families, churches and other organisations as well as nations.
