Give thanks to God always.

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 NKJV

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given  us  everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

Shalom! Day #9. Rainy and windy weather. Every other things looks perfect. It's wonderful Wednesday! How's your new year going on? Are you walking and living in the promises of God? God has chosen you and appointed you for this day. Therefore live your life to the fullness of the potential which is in you. Let's pray. Father ad we come before You today, Holy Spirit help us to see the calling of God In our lives as we walk this year. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

But we are bound to give thanks to God always. Giving thanks to God is not a Sunday thing, but it's a lifestyle. Always have an attitude of giving thanks no matter how or what the situations is. Train ourselves to daily give thanks to God for His miracles, blessings, life and so on. As I , mentioned in my earlier posts, miracles only happen when we dare to give thanks in good and bad situation. Normally, people give thanks when things are good, everything is going on smoothly. But do we dare to give thank when the situations are bad? The 1st word that usually comes out of our mouth is "WHY GOD?" Instead of Thank You Lord or Hallelujah!

Because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. The bible says in the book of Jeremiah, that He knew us even before we were formed in our mothers womb. Today, you are alive for a reason. You are at this particular country, state, district, day, time and in this family or at this working place or at this school or this university for a particular and a peculiar reason and purpose. You are not to flow according to the current, but to go against all odds and make a difference. A good difference and example I mean. As for me, God made me for a reasons, therefore I shall live my life doing and fulfilling my Fathers dreams and purposes. Do you know why you are here today?

Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold firmly and tightly to the teachings which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle so that you may be strong and able to rise and fight back against every attacks of the devil. Everything that you have learned, it is your weapon and shield, use them wisely.  Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given  us  everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work. This is the promises of God for you today that you may experience His love, His everlasting consolation and His good hope by grace and comforting your hearts. And the when we realize this, what will God do? He will establish you in every good word and work. 

Let this day be the day of the Lord. Gbu!
