All I can say is... WOW!! What we have been taught about thanksgiving has been blessing so many people as they start to live a lifestyle of:
- Refraining from Complaining - Ph 2:14
- Living in Thanksgiving - Ph 4:6
- Counting our Blessings – Ps 103:2
We have really noticed a culture of unthankfulness and how it has affected us. We live in a culture of entitlement. But we are being empowered at Harvest Worship Centre to have an attitude of gratitude that will help to change that culture, both in ourselves and in those around us.
Today we learned 3 aspects of giving:
- Remembering: What God Has Done - Psalm 107:1
Give thanks to God for He is Good… ALL THE TIME - God is Good!! Even while we were going away from God, He saved us! Thanks be to God who gives us the victory!! Blessed be the NAME of the LORD!
Release your thanks and God releases everything you need right here and right now! - Telling Others: What God Has Done - Psalm 107:2
Let the redeemed of the Lord say this! Say means , "to mention, to declare, to tell another." - Giving: When We Are Thankful People, Our Lives Will Show It - 2 Cor 9:12
You can give without being thankful but you cannot be thankful without giving! Thanksgiving results in generosity and overflows into "Thanks-Living!"

This Sunday's service was divine. Our Pastors took the preaching of their earlier message: the importance of living in thankfulness to God, to a higher level. I was enlightened by the knowledge that by being thankful to God for His countless provisions in our lives, and by becoming a generous giver as a way of expressing our gratitude to Him, we are sure to achieve God's favour and His benefits. I feel blessed to have learned today that thankful people are those who: 1)remember what God has done in their lives 2) tell others of the greatness of God that they have seen, and 3) are generous givers. By starting to practice this powerful message that I've learned this Sunday, I'm already starting to experience the peace that God is releasing in my life.
