Open Heaven 2 January 2021 – Just Give Thanks
The above passage says that when you are coming to God, you
are to come with thanksgiving- not with grumbling and complaining but with
thanksgiving.
This means that if you don’t come with thanksgiving, then he can decide not to open his gates for you.
Many people prayers do not get answered because all they do is complain and murmur to God.
You are complaining you have no car when someone else has a car but cannot rise from his sick bed. Also See: Open Heaven 1 January 2021 – In the Beginning, God Said
You are complaining that you have no shoes when someone else has no legs. Just give thanks.
No matter what you are going through, there are millions of people around the world going through worse situations.
Open Heaven 2 January 2021: [Saturday] Daily Devotional By Pastor E.A Adeboye – Just Give Thanks
Make a habit of always thanking God for what you have. There are some little things we often take for granted.
One day, my wife called to check on a sick person we had been praying for.
After
the phone call, she told me the fellow said “Help me thank God that I was able to wear my clothes by myself today“.
Even
I the General Overseer had never thought of thanking God for the ability to
dress up by myself.
Don’t
put your attention on the things that you don’t have, rather, put it on all the
great things that God is already doing for you.
God
enjoys being with people who are full of thanks and praises of His name, but He
detests murmurers.
In 1 Corinthians 10:10, the Bible says that when the
Israelites murmured, they were destroyed: Neither murmur ye, as some of them
also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
Joseph
for instance, never murmured against God, even while in slavery and in prison.
Thus,
he fulfill destiny and prospered because the Bible says God was with him (Genesis 39:2-3).
You
want God to help you through all your challenges in life and lead you to a
glorious future? Thank him at all times.
OPEN HEAVEN 2 JANUARY 2021 KEY POINT
Spend
at least thirty minutes thanking God today. Don’t ask for anything, just thank
him.
OPEN HEAVEN 2 JANUARY 2021 HYMN
NOW
THANK WE ALL OUR GOD
1. Now thank we all our God,
With hearts,
and hands and voices;
Who wondrous
things hath done,
In Whom His
world rejoices;
Who, from our
mother’s arms,
Hath bless’d
us on our way
With
countless gifts to love
And still is
ours to-day.
2. O may this bounteous God
Through all
our life be near us,
With
ever-joyful hearts
And blessed
peace to cheer us,
And keep us
in His grace
And guide us
when perplexed,
And free us
from all ills
In this world
and the next.
3. All praise and thanks to God
The Father
now be given,
The Son, and
Him who reigns
With them in
the highest heaven
The One,
Eternal God,
Whom earth
and heaven adore;
For thus it
was, is now,
And shall be
evermore.
