For our homes, for food, warmth, and shelter, for all the things that have made us happy: We thank you, O Lord.

For our hobbies and pets, for happy memories, for our favorite things, for leisure and relaxation: We thank you, O Lord.

For our nation, for freedom and peace, for teachers, leaders, and those who give us good example: We thank you, O Lord.

For the ability to say "I'm sorry," for the grace of repentance, for the forgiveness of others, for the generosity of others: We thank you, O Lord.

For good advice, for financial security, for the trust others put in us, for tenderness, understanding, and compassion: We thank you, O Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Praise is a spiritual weapon, learn it, use it- I am serious- praise is a weapon, although your eyes may not see what is happening spiritually-, look let me tell you eeerh, one minute to your miracle it will look like forever, do you know Joseph slept as a slave and woke up as a prime minister? So like I was saying one minute to your miracle it will look like forever -but victory is already won, God is teaching us a spiritual strategy where we do not even need to fight. Personally praise has bailed me out many times.

Our songs in the night move Him into our day, and the enemy’s progress is arrested as we are brought into God’s presence. Many believers are grounded because they take God for granted. OK-You listening to me- when you are not appreciated for the favour you showed to someone, you are constrained from doing any further favour towards such person; this is natural. ‘Thank you’ is what qualifies you for the next act of favour. Many people whose great times turned to gloomy days were those who did not acknowledge the source of the great times.

And for those of you who are always complaining and grumbling- what about gratitude? I am asking you- what about gratitude? I know we are human, but I pray that you will get to a stage in your spiritual growth where complain will never come out of your mouth.

Gratitude is a major key to increase and multiplication in this kingdom. Psalm 67:5-7 reads “Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.”

When you want to see more of anything, the key is to be GRATEFUL, to both God and man, if I give you a gift and you celebrate it, I will give you more, because I know you are grateful. You will never see the hand of God, if you don't celebrate his finger and you don't see all of God if you don’t celebrate his hand.

Always complaining and murmuring, abeg dey take that one from your life. Remember in Numbers 21:1ff. The Israelites began to complain- and snakes were sent bite them because they murmured and complained.

Some of you need to go on your knees and apologize to God- spiritual snakes are biting various aspects of your life because you murmured and complained- you open the door for evil to come into your life because of ingratitude-

Hear me in your speakers- GRATITUDE IS THE KEY TO INCREASE. Thanksgiving and praise is a thing of the spirit and of the heart. Can you thank God in the midst of pain and affliction? My brother, my sister, make up your mind, to access praise, and thanksgiving, and you will see victory that you cannot account for. Nothing is too hard for God to do and we are showing you this mysteries so you know what to engage at what time.

The reason why we judge God is because we cannot see the complete picture of where he is taking us to. There are times that you do not understand what is happening in your life, just praise, give him all the praise.

Sometimes in doing it- tears will come, from your eyes, keep praising, Lord I thank you- it is true-I lost the admission, I lost my wife, I lost my husband, I lost my child, I lost my job, nothing seems to be working, my prayers seem unanswered but Lord thank you. Oh God- the lady said she won't marry me again, look at the embarrassment, everyone is mocking me, but Lord I thank you for saving me from disaster, if she could walk out now before marriage, she could also walk out after marriage, Lord I thank you for deliverance.

Lord I am sick, I am not feeling, well, but I thank you am still able to carry myself to the hospital, I thank you am still able to eat, I thank you that I still have love one's caring for me. I praise you because I know you are not done with me yet. Avoid complaining, what did scripture say Philippians 2:14 “Do everything without grumbling or arguing ” In John 6:43- Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves ”

1 Corinthians 10:10 also says “Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer .”

Look, if you want to wait till everything is right to praise, dance and give thanks, you will wait forever, don't wait for the controversy and fighting to stop for the praise movement to go on, you praise in the midst of fighting and controversy.

Most of the time we forget about what God has done, the wonders God has wrought for us and focus on the things that we think we are not getting. You used to be a sick person, now you are healed completely, and just because you didn’t get admission, you are angry with God- saying all sort of things to God.

Give him praise ooh, give him praise and let the mighty one arise for you. God can change your story, he always does, this his other name story changer. Sometimes God will keep quiet in the midst of your affliction, it doesn't mean that he does not care- he is waiting to lay a table for you- in front of your enemies- so be careful because sometimes tragedy/bad luck is your greatest setup to announce your glory.

When you become addicted to thanksgiving, destiny opens up to you on its own accord. Thanksgiving envelopes you in God and that makes you UNMOLESTABLE, UNKILLABLE and INDESTRUCTIBLE. The Divine presence of God covers you when you are a thanks giver.

When you give in to praise, you qualify for DIVINE PRESENCE and when you carry divine presence, it makes all the difference in life. Therefore, develop the heart of thanksgiving and praise, and the presence of the Lord will never depart from your presence.

I challenge you, for the rest of the days, to step out on the battlefield with your worship, praise, thanksgiving, testimonies and dance.

Let’s sing our battle cry in praise!

TO BE CONTINUED...

Remember NO ASKING only THANKING🙏🏿

Shalom and God bless you
