RHAPSODY OF REALITIES MONDAY 3RD AUGUST.
GIVING THANKS ALWAYS BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:20)
The human brain is divided into two major parts: the right side and the left side. The left side is what you use to analyze, calculate and plan. It also makes excuses. If, for example, thereโre tasks for you to accomplish, but you say, โIโm not sure Iโll be able to do this for such-and-such a reason,โ thatโs the left side of your brain working. It produces reasons for success or failure.
The right side of your brain, on the other hand, is the one that spontaneously catches pictures, creates imaginations, and gives answers. It produces creativity, beauty, colours. But sadly, because the world around us is mostly sense-ruled, weโre taught to reason more. Therefore, most people depend on the analytical side of their brain (the left side), and as a result, theyโre not creative; they donโt produce clear-cut answers.
However, itโs important to note that the right side of your brain can be activated, and one of the best ways of achieving this is what God shows us in our theme verse: โGiving thanks always for all things unto God and the Fatherโฆ.โ God knows this works, because He created you. He knows if youโre always thankful, youโll have an attitude of joy in spite of your situation and be able to create answers and solutions. Here, youโll see colours, beauty and the brighter side of life.
Therefore, learn to give thanks always for all things. It makes no difference that youโre in debt or many who are owing you money are unable to pay; give thanks! Your landlord may have given you a notice to quit; give thanks nonetheless! Perhaps you heard that the company or organisation where you work is retrenching workers and your name is on the list, give thanks! Irrespective of such challenges, give thanks!
The Bible lets us know that giving thanks in all things is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Hebrews 13:15 says, โBy him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.โ When you have this attitudeโthe thanksgiving attitudeโyour life will be one of victory, glory, joy and unending testimonies. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Blessed Father, youโre gracious and kind! From the depth of my heart, Iโm grateful for your grace, mercy, wisdom and power by which I live triumphantly today, prospering in all that I do, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
