Ineverything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.(1Thess.5:18)<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/b><\/p>\n
O<\/b>ne thing God cannot do is fail. Youhave every reason to thank God and you do not have any reason not to thank God.To know to thank God is wisdom. When your thanksgiving is based onunderstanding, it delivers perfection.Many times we hear the quotation of Rm.8:28which states \u00d2And we know that all things work together for good to those wholove God to those who are called according to His purpose\u00d3.<\/b> Those that loveGod will thank God for all THINGS. For those that love God, everything andevery time are thanks giving. Indeed, it is half knowledge for any believerthat dwells on Rm8:28 without practicing Eph. <\/b>5:20<\/b> which states that giving thanksalways for all things to God the father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/b> One that does not give thanks forall things at all times should not expect all things to work together for theirgood. With this understanding, the knowledge of giving God a HEART-FULLthanksgiving for everything always and not just a MOUTH-FULL of thanks giving,should have its way in your life.<\/p>\n

~Waiting~<\/b><\/p>\n
God alwaysawaits our thanksgiving offering.<\/p>\n
Rememberthe story of the Ten Lepers in Lk17. In verse 13 it was recorded that thelepers lifted their voices and said Jesus Master, have mercy on us<\/b>. Jesusanswered their prayers and they were cleansed. Just one returned to Jesuswith a loud voice and fell down at His feet to give thanks. At the return ofone of the lepers, the first thing Jesus said was (Vs. 17&18) \u00d2Were therenot ten cleansed?\u00ca But where are the nine?\u00d3 \u00d2Were there not any found whoreturned to give glory to God except this foreigner?\u00d3<\/b> Are you one of thenine? <\/p>\n
The LORDGod awaits thanks giving from you regardless of the situation. He said inJer.32:27 \u00d2Behold, I am the Lord God of all flesh. Is there anything too hardfor Me?\u00d3<\/b><\/p>\n
Take timeand look back for a moment and render unto the almighty God a HEART-FULL thanksgiving for all that he has done so He will bring perfection to all you areexpecting from Him.<\/p>\n
Just asthanksgiving is a weapon of perfection; so is praise a weapon of victory overwar. <\/p>\n

~Trumpet~<\/b><\/p>\n
Num.10:9stated that, when you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppressesyou, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets and you will be rememberedbefore the LORD your God and you will be saved from your enemies. <\/b>As an enlisted army of God, warwill always come knocking.\u00ca We are in a position to always knock war out whenknowledge is in place by the understanding of the word(wisdom) of God.\u00ca In anumber of places in the scripture, you will find the use of trumpet as aweapon. Trumpet<\/b> is a resounding call. Trumpet<\/b> is to sound orproclaim loudly. It is a sound that will be easily recognized by God. Ourpraise is the trumpet<\/b> sound that will be easily recognized by God. Itworked for the Israelites on their way to Canaan and it will undoubtedly work for us because God still inhabits thepraises of His people.<\/p>\n
WhenJoshua took over from Moses, the Israelites did not attempt to bring down thewall of Jericho without a trumpet (Josh.6:4,5.)<\/b>\u00ca They were specifically directed by God to take up their trumpets indoing battle. <\/p>\n
As asoldier enlisted by God, what battle are you facing?\u00ca\u00ca Are you fightingignorantly? Apply the wisdom in the word based on understanding and let theknowledge you have about the living God do the battle. Praising God loudly isyour trumpet.\u00ca Deny the enemies from bringing the battle to your front.\u00ca Fightyour war in the enemy\u00d5s front. <\/p>\n
ThankHim for the past, present, and future.<\/b><\/p>\n
ThankHim for what you have and what you <\/b><\/p>\n
do nothave. Thank Him for all your expectations.<\/b><\/p>\n
