FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Give thanks to God instead of thinking thanks before God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 150<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being alive this far demands appreciation for the goodness and mercy of God.
Expressing appreciation to God for the grace of life should be consistent. Psalm 150:6<\/strong><\/em> states, \u201cLet everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
By grace, the hand of the Lord has been keeping all this far.
To be alive is not because of merit but the mercy of God.
Living life is not a right but a privilege bestowed upon all by God.
As the year runs out, turn to God with heartful appreciation instead of thinking thanks, but give Him thanks with understanding.
Word of God admonishes praising God with understanding. (Psalm 47:7) <\/strong><\/em>Are you consciously aware that God expects appreciation?
To lack expressing appreciation is evidence of foolishness.
Foolishness is not only in verbal communication but in any other way of communication. Proverbs 14:1, \u201cThe fool has said in his heart, \u201cThere is no God.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
As the year runs out, is your appreciation to God enough?
Do not be foolish, but thank God, for He deserves thanks.
Are you mistaking your strength as the source of your present location in life?
Do not be deceived by thinking that your strength has kept you thus far.
Do not allow your location to become an agent of self, to deny your expectation from God.
Jesus is the One that converts expectations to manifestation.
Jesus has never been limited or delayed by any location or situation when it is time to visit your expectations with manifestation.
Once in a desert, despite the late hour, where there was no food to feed a multitude, Jesus extended His hand of provision.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
He will extend His hand in any location and situation in place.
Jesus multiplied five loaves and two fish to feed a multitude of thousands.
Jesus commanded before the manifestation of the miracle of provision, \u201cMake them sit down in groups of fifty.\u201d\u00a0 And they did so and made them all sit down.\u201d (Luke 9:15)<\/strong><\/em>
As a believer, are you positioning for the visitation of His miracle?
Jesus did nothing to the loaves and fish until obedience was in place for His command.
After He observed obedience, \u201cThen He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. So, they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.\u201d (Luke 9:16-17)<\/strong><\/em>
In obedience to His command, expectation became manifested.
Are you having challenges to obey His commands?
Engagement in obeying God\u2019s word is a way of manifestation of expectation.
Jesus did expectation yesterday and will do it for you in this season.
In this season, express your appreciation to provoke your expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Give thanks to God with a shout to provoke God\u2019s blessing over your life.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
