Thanksgiving: a Miracle booster

Thanksgiving is the act of giving thanks or showing appreciation for what was done for us. When we show appreciation, it makes the giver have a mind to do more. In our daily lives, thanksgiving given in an appropriate way to God produces Miracles.

We give thanks to God for the marvellous things He has done in our lives. For being alive daily; and for the benefits of being present on a daily basis.

We show Our gratitude and thanks to God for seeing our families on a daily basis; for the ability to wake up daily, go to work, and be back safely. We praise God for our safety on a daily basis; for many countless things, He has done for us.

It gives God great joy to receive our thanksgiving, but only when it is properly given.
The Psalmist in Psalms 103:1-5 constantly gave thanks to God. It is therefore very important that we ask ourselves the question: Why should we give God thanks?

Why is Thanksgiving necessary?

We should continually give God thanks because He is the one that:

1. Forgives all Iniquities.
2. Heals all diseases and sicknesses.
3. Redeems our lives from destruction.
4. Crowns us with His loving kindness and His tender mercies.
5. Satisfies our mouth with good things.
6. Renews our youth like the eagles.

Also,

1. It is God’s expectation that we should give Him thanks. (Psalm 50:12-15)
2. Because it is inherent in the nature of man to give God Thanks. (Luke 12:16-20)
3. Because, giving Thanks, brings more of God’s favour to us. (Luke 17:11-19)

How Should we give Our Thanksgiving?

According to the Psalmist (Psalm 96:1-4), we should give thanks to God by:

1. Singing and praising God with great songs and hymns.
2. Making a joyful noise to God.
3. Testifying of His goodness and mercies.
4. Verbally expressing our thanksgiving to God.
5. Giving gifts to God.
6. Giving God quality Offerings.
