Come Let Us Give Thanks

“Give thanks in all circumstances,¹ for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus” (I Thessalonians 5:18 NIV).

Thanksgiving is a wonderful tradition celebrated in the United States. It’s a time of reflection and thanksgiving for all of the great things God has done in our lives. The commercialization of this great day has eroded a lot of its original meaning. However, it is still one of the most powerful traditions in American culture.

Thanksgiving, or giving of thanks, is a recurring theme in the Bible. One of the first mentions of thanksgiving is recorded in Genesis chapter 14. There, priest-king Melchizedek brought an abundant supply of food and wine to Abram (later renamed Abraham), along with Abram’s 318-member team of warriors to express their extraordinary victory against the king of Sodom, Gomorrah, Zeboyim, and the king of Bela.

“Melchizedek the king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth” (Genesis 14:18-19).

Centuries later, after liberating the Hebrew people from 400 years of slavery, the Lord instituted two yearly thanksgiving holidays that celebrated the two harvest seasons.

While it is easy to celebrate thanksgiving when everything is going right in our lives, it is not so spontaneous or easy when we’re fighting a hardship, legal battle, prolonged sickness or even the loss of a loved one. It is hard to do but it can be done.

Horatio G. Spafford was a successful lawyer and businessman in Chicago with a lovely family — a wife, Anna, and five children. Their young son died from pneumonia in 1871, and in that same year, much of their business was lost in the great Chicago fire. Yet, God, in His mercy and kindness allowed the business to flourish once again.

On Nov. 21, 1873, the French oceanliner, Ville du Havre, was crossing the Atlantic from the U.S. to Europe with 313 passengers on board. Among the passengers were Mrs. Spafford and their four daughters. Although Mr. Spafford had planned to go with his family, he found it necessary to stay in Chicago to help solve an unexpected business problem. He told his wife he would join her and their children in Europe a few days later.

About four days into the crossing of the Atlantic, the Ville du Harve collided with a Scottish ship, the Loch Earn. Within 12 minutes, the Ville du Harve slipped beneath the dark waters of the Atlantic, carrying with it 226 of the passengers including the four Spafford children.

A sailor, rowing a small boat over the spot rescued Mrs. Spafford. Upon her safe arrival in Wales, Anna wired her husband a message saying, “Saved alone, what shall I do?” Mr. Spafford booked passage on the next available ship and left to join his grieving wife. With the ship about four days out, the captain called Spafford to his cabin and told him they were over the place where his children went down. Overwhelmed and in great distress, Mr. Spafford penned the words to a timeless hymn:

It is Well with My Soul

When peace like a river attendeth my way | When sorrows like sea billows roll | Whatever my lot | Thou hast taught me to say I It is well, it is well with my soul |

Friend, if grieving Spafford can write such a powerful song of gratitude in such great distress, we all can find something to thank God for. Here’s the key: Don’t let something that was once a miracle become ordinary.

The more we talk about God’s goodness in the past, the more we draw in His blessings in the future! There are three areas you can always find something to thank God for. First, celebrate what God has done in the past. Second, be grateful for what God is doing in your life right now. Third, thank God for what He is about to do and the glorious future we have with Him in eternity. Remember the time you found love in your life. Thank God for the day your children were born. Thank Him for healing you from that dreaded disease. Remember, the many incidences of how God saved your life from accidents and calamities. Once you start counting your blessings there’s no stopping. This Thanksgiving, let us not only make it about food, fun, and family but let us give thanks unto our Lord who has done great things! Happy Thanksgiving!

Magnify the Good

We all go through difficulties in life. We can either chose to magnify the good or the bad. When we dwell on the good, we glorify God. When we’re being negative, we’re diminishing His power working in us.

If you’re fighting a sickness in your body, it’s ok to acknowledge your illness or express how you’re feeling. You can be real about the pain in your body. You need to get well but don’t just say that you’re sick. Go on to declare that you’re healed by the stripes of Jesus! When you magnify God’s ability, you’ll experience the supernatural power of healing.

I’m sure you’ve experimented with a magnifying glass. When we hold it up against something, it doesn’t change its size, instead it changes our perception. In the same way, when we magnify God, we don’t make Him bigger than He is. We make Him look bigger in our own eyes. We can chose to magnify the goodness of God or what the enemy is doing. Every father wants to bless his bragging child. Our heavenly Father is the same way. We cannot make Him bigger than He already is but when we talk about His bigness, mercy, and kindness, we’ll draw in the good happening to us. You say, “Isn’t that flattery?” Not, if you do it sincerely. Love God and be grateful for what He’s done already.

Today, if you’re going through a slump in your business or you are in lack, you need to focus on God’s goodness to provide. Just the fact that you’re still here is a testimony of His mercy. God has promised to never leave you. He has promised to supply all your needs. God’s sending you clients that you don’t know about. Good breaks, inheritance, and promotions have been released in your immediate future. Don’t get sucked into the temporary. Everything you see now is subject to change. Say, “I’m blessed and highly favored.” When you speak faith, you release God’s goodness.

One of the greatest sources of frustration is our family. The devil tries so hard to put family members against each other. Don’t let that be you. Your family is the only people God has hand-picked for you. Find ways to unite. Don’t be so touchy and easily offended. Overlook a few faults. Never speak negative or angry words that hurt like a burn long after they’re said. Of course they have flaws but that’s why you’re there. Show them that you love them—unconditionally. Men, be willing and available to listen (without interruption) to your own wife and children without making them feel like it’s a burden. Wives, admire your own husband as you do with other men. When we create an environment of love, peace, acceptance, and honor then we’re building a good family. Eventually, they’ll reciprocate.

There are times in your life when you can see the good in others but you just can’t find anything good in you to celebrate. This is a very dangerous way to live. If you want to be happy, you need to take time to find the good in, and for, yourself. It’s okay to love, admire, and inspire others but you must also learn to celebrate the genius in you. God made you in His own image. You belong to the Royal class. You may have a few flaws but don’t let them deter you from celebrating you! One of the best ways you can do that is to learn to encourage yourself. The scriptures say, “David encouraged himself in the Lord.”  You must find a way to become your own cheerleader. You’re important. You matter. You cannot give what you do not have. It’s never about you but it must start with you having a healthy self-image of who you are in Christ.

Friend, no matter what you’re facing, magnify what God is doing. Focus on what you have and not what you lack. Develop a healthy self-image. Love others the way you love yourself. Give and you shall receive. You have more going for you than against you. Say what you want and you’ll see what you say. Magnify the good. Magnify God!

“Come, let us tell of the LORD's greatness; let us exalt his name together” (Psalm 34:3 NLT).

7 Seeds that will Bear Much Fruits in 2014

Welcome to another New Year, individually Handcrafted by God for you with favor, blessings and power to impact the world. This year you’ll overcome every obstacle, difficulty, setback and sorrow. Get ready for God’s goodness to overwhelm you!

As the New Year unfolds, it is imperative that we understand that we are designed to succeed. Make plans, take corresponding actions and give God your very best. What we can attain by ourselves is nothing compared to what we can achieve with God. Today, let’s look at a few principles that will ensure our success in 2014.

Focus on the goodness of God. When flipping your calendar, consider the things God has already done for you. Remember the blessings and not the difficulties. When we have an attitude of gratitude, we will always have something to be thankful for. When we are thankful, we will attract more of God’s blessings in our lives.

Let go of the past. Do not maul over what did not happen. If we spent all our energies remembering and replaying our failures we will have very little left to build something new. Today is a new day! Let’s walk through the rooms of our lives not looking at our flaws but tapping into our potential. Break out of your cocoon; let the butterfly fly.

Know who you are. Many people are sitting on the sidelines today because they have a poor mental picture of themselves. They do not feel that they deserve anything good. Negative experience in life has sucked the joy out of their lives. Don’t let that be you. Remember, you are a child of the Most High. You belong to the Royalty. You and God can do anything. You’re not defined by what others say; you are what God says – son, friend, loyal, conqueror, victorious, loving, kind, gentle, patient, healthy, prosperous, peaceful, dream-chaser, vision-fulfiller. How you see yourself on the inside is how you will experience life in reality.

Write down goals, dreams and desires. Power is released when we write things down. Be in prayer and anticipation for God to give you a God-size dream. If your vision does not include “impossible” you’re thinking too small. Mark Twain said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Friend, only you have the power to decide how high you fly and what happens to you in life. Do not limit God. He is not only with you, He is for you.

Speak God’s Word. What comes out of your mouth has the greatest impact in your life. Let us speak positive, uplifting, kind and considerate words over ourselves and others. Do not let circumstances dictate our words. Speaking God’s Word over our lives overrides anything contrary in our lives. Sickness will have to go. Family members will be saved. Debt will be eliminated. Peace will flow. Our words have creative power to change things.

Take time to grow. We begin to die the day we stop learning. No matter how much you know, dedicate yourself to learning something new about God, your spouse, family, friends and fellowmen. Read books, Listen to podcast, attend church, find a mentor. You’re created for more.

Help others win. Selfishness is the greatest enemy to our soul. What we do for ourselves will fade away like a vapor. What we do in the name of Christ will remain forever. The greatest gifts you can give away are priceless – smile, encourage, hug, listen, serve, teach, pray and the greatest is to love unconditionally. Friend, I’m praying that 2014 will be an Ahh-Mazing year for you and yours!

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. ~ Walt Disney

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19 ESV).

September will be the Month of Surprises

Everybody loves surprises especially if it is something good. When we get a surprise party or a gift, we know that we’re surrounded by loving people. Surprises are not frequent but they break the monotony of our lives.

When my children were younger, they couldn’t wait for their birthdays or holidays because they knew surprises were in store for them. They had countdown calendar and they lived everyday with expectancy. They knew something good was about to happen to them. As grownups we have to remind ourselves that we’re not God’s adults; we’re His children. As God’s children we should live with the same attitude. Say it with me, “Something goooood is going to happen to me.” We don’t deserve it but we have a loving, giving Father in heaven that looks for every opportunity to surprise us!

Some of you have been expecting a breakthrough but the surprise will supersede any of your expectation. God is poised to deliver special packages to your address with gifts and blessings you haven’t even comprehended. In fact, the bigger your expectation, the bigger your surprise will be.

Often when we’re told something good is happen to us, we get immune to hearing it. If it doesn’t happen in our timeframe, we get weary and we give up believing. In Matthew chapter twenty five Jesus told a story. In the parable of the ten virgins, all started off with great zeal and expectation to meet the bridegroom. But in the process of waiting, they got tired and fell asleep. Five of the virgins had come prepared so they carried extra oil with them. The other five had great hopes but they forgot to make provision for delays. When the bridegroom came as a surprise, the unprepared young ladies missed out because their lamps went out. In the Bible, oil is the symbol of joy and the Holy Spirit. When you’re going through a long period of waiting, it is easy to lose your joy. When we get our joy back we’ll usher in the greatest surprise of our lives. Get your hopes up. Raise the level of your expectancy. Instead of considering why it cannot happen, believe that it will. A surprise has nothing to do with your performance; it is a gift from God!

In the Bible, Naomi suffered one loss after another. First, her husband died and then her two sons. When she returned to her paternal home she was so discouraged that she changed her name to Mara, meaning “sorrow.” With all her life’s circumstances, she just couldn’t see her life any other way. A breakthrough came when Ruth, her daughter-in-law gave birth to a child. Naomi found a new purpose for living. Her joy came back and an amazing thing happened! Even in her advanced years milk began to flow through Naomi so she could nurse the new born baby. Have you lost your hope and sense of purpose? Has it been too long you’ve been waiting on your promise? I have good news for you. God is sending your “baby.” Your life will be filled with joy and purpose again and the rest of your life will be the best of your life! Can you get your joy back? You don’t have to manufacture joy. It is the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

September will be the month of surprise. Have you been waiting for your health to recover? This is your moment; this is your time. Jesus healed a man who had a withered hand for thirty years! Your sickness, no matter how long it has been has to depart. A few weeks ago a friend lamented, “Sandy, I don’t think my marriage will get any better.” I told him what I’m telling you. God will not only heal your marriage but He will restore it better than ever before. Some of you are waiting for a new job, promotion at work or the commission check. Get your joy back. Put on a new attitude. Your midnight hour has passed. A new dawn is breaking. Don’t run out of your oil of gladness. Others of you are waiting for a loved one to be saved. Don’t beg, don’t plead, and don’t try to hit them on the head with your preaching. Put on the garment of joy and thank God for your loved one to be saved. Friend, no matter what you’re facing, I declare, September will be the month of surprise. It will happen for those who will believe in God’s promises. Get ready! Get ready!! Get ready!!!

“Your life will be brighter than the noonday. Even darkness will be as bright as morning” (Job 11:17 NLT).

Ride on God's Favor

Life can be hard at times. Things don’t always go the way we want. When we have God’s anointing or favor in our lives, we can go through a hard thing in an easy way. A mature Christian knows how to operate in favor.

The Bible says God has surrounded us with favor for a lifetime. That means we’re to go around looking for favor. The rules and policies may say one thing but when we operate in favor, we can anticipate special privileges.

God’s favor upon our lives is like a well-oiled machine. The task may look hard but because of God’s favor everything becomes easy. I’ve had favor ever since I was born. My mother died when I was one year old but God had already prepared two other ladies who brought me up in an orphanage. I found favor again when I got admitted to a very prestigious college without much of my own merit. Serving God in the ministry has been an ongoing saga of God’s favor upon my life for the last twenty seven years! I expect preferential treatment every day. The more I expect the more I find favor.

If you want an anointing of ease upon your life, you too must be favor-minded. Most of the time favor is unmerited. It comes as a gift from God. However, there are principles in the Bible that can bring us favor. Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor.” Love, respect and honor your wife and it will bring you favor. Proverbs 22:29 says, “Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.” When we as Christian becomes top producers in our jobs, we add value to the company and it will bring us favor. Mary the mother of Jesus lived a righteous life and that brought Mary favor from God and had a supernatural birth of our Lord. Favor is out there but you have to go after it. When you seek favor, you’ll find it.

When you’ve found favor, be grateful and ride the favor as long as you can. God sends special people in our lives to believe in us, give us strength, support and confidence we need. People we have favor with today may not feel the same way about us tomorrow. Therefore, it is imperative that you ride the favor as long as possible. Recognize and be thankful for God’s favor in your life.

A great mistake we often make is to continue to seek favor when it’s gone. I’ve had many instances when people have shown me great favor and then as suddenly as they came into my life they’re gone. I’d call, invite them to lunch, want to go and visit them but no response. Suddenly they seem to ignore me. Here’s what I’ve learned:  God’s favor is for a lifetime but it’s not always through the same people. When favor is gone don’t keep trying to win that person back. Don’t spend endless hours trying to figure out what you did wrong to fall out of favor. Be grateful and move on.

When a season of favor ends, don’t become sour and bitter toward the person. Instead, remember the favor. Don’t have a chip on your shoulder and develop a negative attitude. Be thankful to God and show gratitude towards the person. Talk about how the person helped you in the past to bring you to your current fortune. Keep a running record of happy memory instead of negative ones. When we meditate on the goodness of God we will draw in the favor of God.

Friend, God has all sorts of favor lined up for you. Release favor upon your life and experience preferential treatment. Call in favor in every day situation. Get up every morning and say, “I’m blessed and highly favored.” Ask for God’s favor in small and big things. Ride the favor as long as you can. Don’t frustrate yourself trying to win people’s favor once it is gone. When one season of favor ends; expect God to bring you to another. Remember the people who have shown you favor in the past. Instead of criticizing, brag on them for their contribution to your current success. Keep looking for favor every day and you’ll find them. Rejoice, you’re highly favored; the Lord is with you!

“For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime” (Psalm 30:5 NIV).

The Value of Friendship

Fear gripped one of the two World War I soldiers when he saw his life-long friend fall in the battle. Bullets flying in every direction, he asked his lieutenant if he could go to the trenches and retrieve his fallen comrade.

“You can go,” said the lieutenant, “but I don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw away your own life.”

Immediately the young soldier took off running towards the trenches and miraculously he returned to his own company hoisting his friend on his shoulders. As they stumbled together to the bottom of the trench, the officer looked intently at the young soldier.

“I told you it wouldn’t be worth it. Your friend is dead and you’re fatally wounded.”

“Yes sir,” the solider replied, “but it was totally worth it because when I got to him he was still alive.” I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, “I knew you’d come!”

This Memorial Day, let’s honor all the service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our family, friends and country.

Today, I also want to take this opportunity to talk about the value of friendship in our lives. Often we take our friends for granted. We expect them to be there for us even if we don’t invest in them. True friendship is a two way street. Here are a few thoughts on developing long-lasting friendships.

Seek for ways to deposit into your friends. When we are aware of what our friends mean to us, we will find ways to add value to their lives.

Visit or call your friends for no reason. Life gets busy and we get carried away with our daily activities. If our “contacts” only reflect the people we do business with we’re living in a very small world. Drop by at a friend’s home or work place. Give a call just to check on them.

Expand the landscape of your friendship. Don’t just make friends with people who look, talk and act like you. How boring is that? Cultivate friendship from various groups of people regardless of their color, culture or ethnic background. Try different types of food with your friends. Go to their cultural events. Watch a movie or listen to music in different languages. Visit your friend’s church. You’ll be amazed how your life will be enriched simply by expanding the landscape of your friendship.

Express your feelings in writing. Written notes, cards and letters have a special meaning. It can have a multiple impact. When you express your friendship in writing, it can be appreciated many times in the years to come. Handwritten notes are a rarity today. Send postcards or a picture of your times together.

Another way you can solidify friendship is to give gifts. Little gifts that convey the message “I’m thinking about you or I care about you” can mean the world to a friend who is going through a rough patch. A gift doesn’t have to be expensive but I’ve never met a person who doesn’t want to receive a gift.

Be loyal. Friendship starts with trust but loyalty is the glue that keeps a friendship together. Loyalty simply means that you stick with your friend through thick and thin and take up for them. A loyal friend will advise you to do the right thing no matter how hard it is. Speak the truth in love.

“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” (Proverbs 27:17 NLT).

An Angel, Beauty Pageant and a Superhero

Mothers come in all variations but one thing is common – they’re all angels. A world without moms will be a world without colors. A mother’s love, dedication and sacrifice make the world go around.

This Mother’s Day we want to celebrate mothers. You are the Person of Our Life. You have the uncanny ability to exhaust yourself daily. Today we’re going to look at seven reasons to celebrate Mother’s Day.

You are beautiful inside out. No matter what you think of yourself, you are beautiful. When a heart is filled with a mother’s love you’re the most attractive person in the world. You’re the ultimate expression of God’s unconditional love and beauty.

You’re creative. Mothers are the most creative people on earth. Only a mother can sooth a child’s pain, heal their hurt and cook their favorite food. No matter how old the children become mothers always have creative solutions to their lives. Your creativity spreads through generations that eventually become tradition.

You are courageous. Who in the world would volunteer to bear children? You may be weak on the outside but you’re a woman of steel and determination on the inside where it counts the most.

You’re the best teacher. Mothers are the first teachers in every person’s life. They teach us everything important in life. If mothers wouldn’t have done their job our world would be filled with illiterate, uncivilized and selfish people. Mothers know how to bring out the best in us.

You are wise. A mother’s heart continually pours out wisdom. Every success in life begins with a mother’s wisdom. You taught us to take a bath, take a turn, share, be friendly, eat our vegetables and say our prayers. These are the foundations for life!

You are inspirational. At the darkest moments of our lives you believe in us. You inspire us to become anything we want. You see our success before we see it ourselves. Mother, you’re the greatest visionary in the world!

You’re a real life superhero. We’re all captivated by superhero movies and secretly desire to be one. Mothers are superheroes by default. Only you can change a diaper, demolish a mountain of laundry, cook like a chef, teach like a genius, and look like a beauty pageant. Your role as a mother is nothing short of a superhero.

So on this Mother’s Day we want to say, THANK YOU MOM FOR EVERYTHING YOU ARE AND EVERYTHING YOU DO. You make our lives and our world go around. You are an angel sent by God. You deserve all our praise, accolade and celebration.

Happy Mother’s Day!

“Clothed in strength and dignity, with nothing to fear, she smiles when she thinks about the future. She conducts her conversations with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is ever her concern” (Proverbs 31:25-26 Voice).

Remember the Goodness of God

Reflection is a powerful force. It causes us to evaluate and bring perspectives into our lives. Yet, we’re too busy these days to sit quietly. In our modern culture, cell phones, social media, i-this and i-that have taken over our lives. I’m not against technology but when it takes preeminence over God, we’re out of balance. We must set aside regular time to communicate with our Creator.

One of the most powerful exercises we can do in our meditation is to remember the goodness God. The devil drives, leaving no room for us to think but God leads. When we remember what God has done in the past, it will fill our hearts with gratitude. Instead of asking for more, we will be thankful. When we’re thankful, we’re divine!

One of the things we all can be thankful for is our Salvation. We are all saved by grace and we start off with gratitude. As time goes by, we tend to lose our joy and forget how God delivered us from the clutches of the evil one. Once we were bound by drugs, alcohol or even religion but then Christ set us free! Once we’re heading toward eternal destruction but now we’re heaven-bound. How liberating is that? Let’s be thankful for our Salvation.

Another area we can be thankful for is our health. Some of us are fighting battles in our body right now but many of us take our health for granted. Good health should be a great cause of celebration. Had it not been for God’s goodness, we would have no strength. Let’s express our gratitude for health and healing.

We can thank God for His protection. How many times we’ve missed a near collision in traffic? Instead of calling colorful names to the person in the wrong, we can thank God for the angels that watch over us every day. We can recall God’s goodness over our children and for protecting them from daily accidents and evil. Let’s make it a habit to thank God for His safety, protection and angels.

In the Scriptures, the children of Israel build memorial unto the Lord by gathering stones and piling them up in a heap. It was not an easy thing to do in the wilderness. But they built a visual reminder to give glory to God for His goodness over their lives. We too can have a point of contact to remind us of His goodness. For example, when I pass a hospital or a graveyard, I say to myself, “Thank you Lord for satisfying me with health and long life.” When I pass a bank I say, “Thank you Lord for your provision.”

Often our prayers are loaded with requests for help. God doesn’t mind us asking for stuff. But we’re like little children if we constantly ask for help. Let’s grow up and seek God’s guidance in whom we should help. Let’s make part of our prayer to thank God for His provision. Yes, we all need more resources but can we also thank Him for what He has already provided? When we consider His provision in the past, we’ll have no doubt that He’ll provide again in the future.

Friends, let us remember the goodness of God. When we pause, think and talk about His goodness we’ll draw in more of His favor in our lives. You cannot complement and complain at the same time. The more we brag about the goodness of our God the less we have to nag about our life. Let’s remember the goodness of our God!

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer” (Psalm 19:14 NAS).
