*TOPIC: THANKSGIVING --- THE MASTER KEY (I)*
*Read: Psalm 67:3-7*
*MEMORISE: _Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us_ (Psalm 67:5-6).*
*EXPOSITION*
Psalm 67 is a Psalm of adoration that calls on the world to give praise to God. When the people praise the Lord, the earth will give an increase in crops, because of God’s special blessing. *The significance of praise is seen in the emphasis of line 3.* Thanksgiving brings multiplication *(Jer. 30:19).* Appreciate what you have. Move the dots of your life with gratitude. Everyone who is grateful increases in bounds. As we give thanks, God will multiply the works of our hands.
Thanksgiving brings peace into your heart, because we are acknowledging God. Peace brings vision and ideas. Thanksgiving brings perfection, and perfection brings completeness. Anything you see in your life today, is just the beginning; God has the ability to bring it to perfection *(Phil. 1:6),* If you see any sign of the goodness of God in your life, begin to rejoice, because it can always be better.
Thanksgiving is an uncommon virtue. The Bible says, enter His gates with thanksgiving *(Ps. 100:4-5).* The Bible also says that except a man is born-again, he can’t enter the Kingdom of God *(John 3:3-5).* There is a relationship between thanksgiving and salvation. Why? This is because it is out of the treasures and gratitude of your heart that you give thanks.
Without Christ in you, you can not apply this master key of thanksgiving. Jesus is therefore waiting for you to surrender your life to Him today and acknowledge Him as your Lord and personal Saviour, so you can have the master key and power of thanksgiving.
*PRAYER POINTS*
*1.* Lord, fill me with the spirit of thanksgiving.
*2.* Father, remove the spirit of ungratefulness ruining peaceful relationships from our homes.
*3.* Father Lord, help the Church to devote more time in praise and worship than asking for frivolities and selfish demands.
*EXTRA READING FOR TODAY:* Deuteronomy 23:4 – 26:1; Luke 3:12 – 3:33
