The power of thanking God for all He’s done for us in Christ
Colossians 2:6-7 (AMPC) As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus the Lord, [so] walk (…) in union with and conformity to Him.
Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving. One reason many believers do not spend time thanking God for the things He’s done for them in Christ is that they cannot presently see all those things manifesting in their lives physically. We are more accustomed to thanking God for the things we see physically than to the things we have received by our faith in Christ.
Thanking God for the things He has done for us in Christ is the only true way we can give thanks always and in/for all things, (Eph.5:20, 1Thes.5:18). Even though we cannot physically see and feel everything God has done for us in Christ, they are real. They are our present reality in the spirit and as we rejoice and thank God for them, we become rooted and established in our faith and we activate their manifestations in our lives. They abound and overflow into our lives. The Bible says Abraham was strong in faith, giving glory to God, (Rom.4:20).
As He continued doing this, God’s promise to Him manifested in his life. Your ability to thank God for what He has done for you in Christ shows Him that you believe you have received it as your reality. The way we worship God in the spirit is by rejoicing in Christ, (Phil.3:3); rejoicing about what God has done for us in Christ. Another good way to worship in the Spirit is to sing and give thanks in tongues, (1 Cor.14:15-17). Action Point: Thank God that the things He has done for you in Christ are your reality. List them, and thank God/rejoice about them.
