ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.
Sunday 26th November, 2023.
Topic: Being Grateful To God.
Memory Verse:2 Samuel 22:50. Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
Bible Reading:2 Samuel 22:47-49. Key Verse: v48.
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me, And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
Genuine thanksgiving comes from a heart of gratitude for the goodness of God in our lives. It takes a man who realised that without God his personal efforts would have yielded nothing to give God glory for his protection, preservation and daily provisions. David knew that it was God who saw him through difficult times. David’s heart of love and gratitude to God was second to none. He never forgot how God raised him from nobody in his father’s house to become the most sought after, when it was least expected. From a nobody, God gave him fame and made him a national hero after he killed Goliath. When he lived in caves and other abnormal places trying to escape the wraith of King Saul, God was there for him. God did not at any point in time allow him to fall into the hands of his enemies or be destroyed according to their desires.
“I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.” 2 Samuel 22:4-10.
Today, you need look back and remember God’s goodness over your life. You need to raise your voice to acknowledge his goodness in your own life, family and business or career. Don’t be like the man that had a successful year in his farming business and was seeing himself in everything that happened and had no room for God, and his life was cut short. Some people may think God did nothing this year for them simply because they were unable to hit their target, they forgot others who did better by human standards, who are no more because they succumbed to the cold hands of death, some of them in unimaginable circumstances. When we thank God and praise him from a genuine heart, we qualify for more of his provisions, protection, preservative grace and promotion in life.
Prayer : Father God, today I have come to worship and give you thanks for everything you have done in my life, family, business and career life. Thank you for every battles you have won for me. Thank you for not allowing my enemies to have their way. Thank you for every good things you are bringing my way in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading :1 Corinthians 15:42-58.
