FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> A free will thanksgiving to God is with joyful and a loud voice.<\/p>\n

Psalm 100<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 5:8<\/em><\/strong> records declaration of God, \u201c\u2026For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God\u2026\u201d God is a jealous God. Deuteronomy 32:21 records God’s reaction to Israelites wrong sacrifice, “They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God; They have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols…”
\n<\/em><\/strong>It must be clear and settled in all man to know that God pays attention to receive sacrifice which will provoke God to jealousy that moves Him to bless. Among sacrifice to God for His blessing is giving Him thanksgiving.
\nHebrews 13:15<\/em><\/strong> buttressed, “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.” <\/em><\/strong>Begin to provoke God for His attention with continual thanksgiving. Giving thanks to God is not “thinking thanks” but giving thanks.
\nGod alone is worthy of constant and consistent thanksgiving. Ability to count the number of thanks to God is an evidence of shortage giving thanks to God. God is worthy of an uncountable number of thanksgivings every moment. Are you in place thinking thanksgiving to God? Thinking Thanksgiving to God is not the same as Thanksgiving but a muted thanksgiving that is not worth it for a Worthy God.
\nFor Worth caring God, the Bible verses stated thanksgiving for our learning: \u201cAnd when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it of your own free will.\u201d (Leviticus 22:29)
\n<\/em><\/strong>A free will thanksgiving is with shout joyful to God and declaring His works with rejoicing.
\nPsalm 95:2<\/em><\/strong> records, \u201cLet us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Psalm 107:22 \u201cLet them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Another free will of giving thanks to God is not hiding from giving thanks to God but giving a loud voice of thanksgiving to God. Bible records the need of a voice in a time of giving thanks to God, \u201cThen out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.\u201d (Jeremiah 30:19) \u201cBut I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving.\u201d (Jonah 2:9)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Giving thanks that are rooted in loud voice was demonstrated by Jesus when Lazarus came out of death to life, \u201c\u2026Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, \u201cFather, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.\u201d Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, \u201cLazarus, come forth!\u201d And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, \u201cLoose him, and let him go.\u201d (John 11:41-44)
\n<\/em><\/strong>With understanding, give God thanksgiving as a reasonable sacrifice to provoke God for His blessing.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask for understanding not to fail from locating God for His visitation over your life.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
