“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Ephesians 5:20 (KJV).
To give thanks is to proclaim or confess what God has said about Himself, what He has done for you, and what He will do for you. The word “thank you” conveys a heartfelt appreciation and gratefulness which evokes joy in the hearts of the recipients. Here is the principle: You give thanks always (consistently), and for all things unto God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Think about the goodness of God and express your gratitude and appreciation; offer the thanksgiving of worship, thanksgiving of praise, thanksgiving of testimony, thanksgiving of your substance and the prayer of thanksgiving, from your heart to the Lord.
Thanksgiving creates answers and solutions. Our Lord Jesus lived a life of thanksgiving and demonstrated giving thanks on several occasions. For example, He gave thanks before He fed a multitude with five loaves of bread and two pieces of fish (Mark 6:41). He thanked God before calling Lazarus from the grave (John 11:38-44). He also gave thanks before having communion with the disciples (Matthew 26:26). It makes no difference what you are dealing with; practice thanksgiving, and you will experience supernatural interventions, for example, debt cancelations, ideas, and opportunities., Every so often, declare “Father, I thank you for this situation”; call forth the solution for the situation in faith) in the name of the Lord Jesus and it shall come to pass.
