The Power of a Grateful Heart

  Image by Freepik Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV) "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." Reflection: Gratitude is a powerful attitude that can transform our lives. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Paul encourages us to "give thanks in all circumstances." This doesn't mean we are thankful for every situation, especially the difficult ones, but it means finding reasons to be grateful even amidst our trials. Gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have. It helps us see God's hand in our lives and recognize His blessings, no matter how small. When we cultivate a grateful heart, we start to notice the everyday miracles and the ways God provides for us. Consider the story of Paul and Silas in Acts 16. While imprisoned, they chose to pray and sing hymns to God. Despite their dire circumstances, they found reasons to be grateful and praise God.

The Amazing Power of Faith

God require you and I to believe and trust in Him. (Luke 10:19)
When we give ourselves to the Lord begins to train us. As we show ourselves to be trustworthy,He will give us that authority as He promised.

In Moses time,God used the circumstances to mould him and shape him for a Big Task ahead of him. Beacuse of Moses faith,God gave him a Rod as a sign of authority that Moses used to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

As for you and me God has given us a Rod,I.e. The Word to lead and guide those who need Him.

In life storm/situations,there are three(3) things that we(men) do;

1. We go under in Fear
Collapsing without God

2. Fight for our life

3. Go over in Faith
Conquer with God in Us

-Voice of Moses was a Voice of Hope for the people of Israelites.

(Exodus 14:13)
Do not be afraid,stand firm and you will see the deliverance of the hand of God upon you.

Stand Firm-reveals that Moses was defeated in his heart,but through the Voice Faith, he was victorious.

Let us focus on Jesus and stand firm and face every situation hoping and trusting that God will deliver us.

The Lord rebuked Moses for praying when he could've been doing something.

"There is a time to Seek the Lord and there is a time to Speak for the Lord"

Challenge: God is expecting us to take a bold step of Faith to do something powerful for the Lord.

What is the Red Sea in our lives?Are you caught in a place where you are confused?in tha face of all this,what are you doing?

Many people throw away their Faith in times like this. But God is encouraging us to Stand Firm in our Faith to God to deliver us.

Amen!
