MIRACLE MEAL, PRAISE, WORSHIP AND THANKSGIVING SERVICE (05/04/2026)
Rom 1:18-21
• One of the outstanding traits of a deeply spiritual person is gratitude.
• The more you know God, the more thankful you will be.
• God expects man to glorify Him and be thankful.
• Even when people go to hell, it is because of the sin of ingratitude.
• The fact that you were cut off from God completely but God sent his son who was qualified to pay the price to connect you back to God is reason enough for you to be thankful.
• Genuine thanksgiving is based on knowledge.
• When you lack knowledge, your thanksgiving will be limited.
2 Cor 5:21, Rev 5:4-5
• It required a sinless man to die in order for those who were in sin to be rescued.
• The knowledge that helps you see Jesus as different from the rest will help you to treat Him and what He has done for you with value.
• Wisdom is what helps us to differentiate things and people.
• Wisdom makes a man to differentiate things and place the appropriate value on them.
• Jesus isn’t common, what He did isn’t common.
• God expects gratitude from you as a beneficiary of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection.
• When you feel too much pressure from all directions, that is not the time to think of quitting.
• Anyone in this life who will choose to do what is right will face opposition.
• The spirit of heaviness is what attracts satan and the spirit of joy does the opposite (Is 61:1-3).
• If you keep complaining, you will never see good.
• People are leaving their countries to come to Zambia while you’re complaining that there is nothing good in Zambia.
• Give God thanks that you are healthy.
• Give God thanks that you are able to provide for your children.
• Whatever you are thanking God for is extended.
WAYS IN WHICH WE EXPRESS OUR THANKSGIVING TO GOD
1. By saying it with your mouth (Heb 13:15)
2. By testifying to others of what God has done for you (Luke 17:17-19)
• Everyone who has received God’s goodness must testify.
• Returning to where you received a miracle from is giving glory to God.
• Where your thanksgiving stops is where your miracle stops.
3. By our gift (Luke 17:14)
• This is also called a testimony of thanksgiving offering.
4. By clapping our hands (Ps 47:1)
5. By dancing (Ps 149:3)
• A dance to God can give you favour.
