Praise the Lord. .... CULTIVATING A LIFESTYLE OF THANKSGIVING .... Give God a Sacrifice of Praise : (Hebrews 13:15). A sacrifice is when there is pressure to do something -- when you do not feel like doing it; when it is uncomfortable. God wants you to praise Him continually with the fruit of your lips -- open your mouth and say, Thank You, Lord. Giving thanks will cause you to become enlarged; it will expand your capacity to receive more. You must cultivate a lifestyle of thanksgiving. Cultivation is not automatic or only done when at church. It is doing something every day, purposely. Thanksgiving is a key to experiencing fullness nothing needed and nothing wanted. Gratitude will keep you on course -- maintain an attitude of gratitude : The way to receive all that you have prayed for is to continually give thanks -- it causes you to remain spiritually aligned with God. Enter into Gods presence with thanksgiving. Give thanks for what you have instead of complaining about what you do not have. (Psalm 136:1-3) says to give thanks to God. It is good to give God thanks. (Psalm 92:1). When you stay on the path of thanksgiving, you will be on the path of light and understanding. Complaining, murmuring, grumbling will get you off the path of light and place you in darkness and confusion. An ungrateful heart will push you into darkness and cause what you do have to be taken away. (Matthew 13:12). Be thankful for what God has given you : Those who compare themselves to others and what they have, demonstrate an attitude of ingratitude and work in pride. Comparison is an insult to God. There is nothing substandard or inferior about what God gives you. (Psalm 84:11b; No good thing does the Lord withhold, from those who walk uprightly). Be thankful for the little, and more will come to you. Do not be ungrateful for what you have been given. Thanksgiving involves remembering what God has done for you and valuing it. Thanksgiving causes you to have grace (James 4:6) : More grace is required to see more of anything in your life. A thankful person is a humble person. Gratitude and humility go hand in hand. Pride shows ingratitude. Pride always wants more and is not satisfied with what it has. Pride says, You owe me something, you expect something from people. When it comes to people, expect nothing and appreciate everything; when it comes to God, expect everything and appreciate everything. God resists the proud and ungrateful. Favour resists the proud. Pride leads you to destruction and hell. Do not look at what others have; instead, give thanks for what God has done for you. Guard your mouth and attitude : Murmuring and complaining will undo all that you have strived to achieve through your prayers and confessions. Murmuring displeases God. (Numbers 11:11). When you go from thanksgiving to murmuring, you go from light to darkness. People who murmur are natural failures; nothing works for them, which causes them to live a life of perpetual struggle. A grateful heart is your fastest escape out of the trap of murmuring. Gratitude will cause Gods presence engulf you. Thanksgiving pleases God; ingratitude leads you to a curse : Thanksgiving and praise please God more than any other sacrifice. (Psalm 69:30-31). If you know God and do not give thanks to Him, your heart and imagination will be darkened. An attitude of ingratitude will open you up to a curse and cause you to want. (Deut. 28:46-48). By giving thanks you are made whole. Example : When Jesus healed the ten lepers, only one turned back around and gave thanks. The others were healed, but Jesus told him that he was made whole; there was no longer anything missing or broken in his life. (Luke 17:14-19). Give thanks continually for what you have and for what is to come. Your circumstances should not determine whether or not you give thanks : In the middle of everything that is going on around you, give thanks no matter what the circumstances are. (I Thes 5:18). Giving thanks is Gods will for you. You will not be able to find His ultimate will for your life until you have cultivated a life of thanksgiving. If you give thanks, you will experience multiplication. (Jeremiah 30:19). Praise the Lord.
