END OF YEAR THANKSGIVING SERVICE- 15TH DECEMBER, 2019
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE: PSALM 92:1-2
MESSAGE TOPIC: THE PROFIT OF THANKSGIVING
BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE

SERVICE OBJECTIVES: Understanding the profit and the goodness of thanksgiving

Giving thanks to God is not just a spiritual formality done to fulfil all righteousness but a powerful spiritual action with proven impact and effect

Thanksgiving is not something you do as part of politeness or good character, it is beyond that; thanksgiving is a profit-filled, goodness- filled spiritual virtue with tangible physical dividends

No one has prayed well until they have thanked well

PROFITS OF THANKSGIVING:

1. Thanksgiving is a tool of deliverance against the day of trouble (Ps. 50:14-15)
   Your thanksgiving to God today qualifies you for Divine intervention tomorrow in times of trouble
   The murmurer never sees God at work in their lives
2. Thanksgiving pleases God and guarantees life (Ps. 69:30-32)
   Your thanksgiving gives God pleasure and secures your life
   When you give God thanks, you are giving Him pleasure; and if God is pleased with your life, it doesn’t matter who is displeased with you. It is of no consequence
   If you know how to give God thanks, the devil may
   hate you but He cannot cut you off before your time
3. Thanksgiving establishes people in the Presence of the Lord (Ps. 100:4, 95:2)
   Every thanksgiver is a Divine Presence carrier and Divine Presence is the answer to demonic presence
   Thanksgiving makes God accessible and available for the thanksgiver
   The Presence of God is the secret of rest; thanksgiving
   ushers you into the rest that God’s Presence brings (Exo. 33:14)
4. Thanksgiving is cure for dryness and key to flourishing in life (Ps. 51:3; John 6:11-13)
   Thanksgiving fertilizes life, destinies and places unto fruitfulness and flourishing; it forbids dryness and emptiness
5. Thanksgiving is the highway to multiplication and glorification (Jer. 30:19)
   Thanksgiving forbids fewness and smallness;
   You cannot be a thanksgiver and die as a pauper
   The presence of glory is the absence of shame; you cannot be given to thanksgiving and be buried in shame and reproach
6. Thanksgiving opens the door of abundant grace (2Cor. 4:15; James 4:6)
   When you give God glory, He gives you grace; God engraces the thanksgiver
   Thanksgiving ushers you to grace and grace is the secret of ease
   Thanksgiving is a sign of humility
7. Thanksgiving is a facilitator of effective and productive praying (Phil. 4:6-7; 1Tim. 4:3-4; 1Cor. 10:10)
   You have not prayed well until you have thanked well
   The prayer equation is never complete without thanksgiving
   Thanksgiving must be a constant for the prayer equation to produce answered
8. Thanksgiving connects us to the goodness and mercy of God (1Chron. 16:34; Ps. 136:1-21, 106:1-2, 107:1, 118:1)
   The goodness of God is the cure for the badness of the devil
   The Mercy of God is the cure for the anger of the enemies
   It doesn’t matter who is against you, the Mercy of God covers you
   God’s Mercy on you will mess up the gang-up of the enemy against you
9. Thanksgiving establishes us in the Will and Plan of God for our lives (1Thes. 5:18)
   Inside everything, look for something to thank God
   When you thank God, you mess up the devil and God will usher you into His Will for your life
   When you thank God permanently, He will marry your life to His Will
   The doorway to the Will of God is thanksgiving

COUNSEL:

1. Trust God to remember things for which you must be thankful because it is easy to forget the benefits of God (Ps. 103:1-2; Heb. 6:10)
