Message
Giving thanks is a way of showing appreciation to someone for favour received. When your Mom or Dad gives you something you wanted for a long time, or when they have done something very special for you, you are thankful and you will give them a big hug. When you tell your mom that she is the best cook in the whole world, you are praising her. Or you may tell a friend how you admire your dad for his strength because he can lift you off the ground with one arm.

People often appreciate it when they receive praises or thanks from those they have done good to. In the same way, God desires that we give Him thanks for all He has done and is still doing for us. Our Bible passage gives us some things that we should praise God for. These are- Deliverance from the power of darkness, translation into the kingdom of His dear Son, forgiveness and redemption from sin and making us partakers of heavenly inheritance. You can thank God for a prayer He has answered, or for the things He has done for you every day. You can praise the Lord by telling Him how great He is, or by telling others of His awesome power and unfailing love. You can thank and praise God with words, or with songs, or even by dancing like king David did. God will accept your thanksgiving and bless you more.

Prayer for today: Bless the Lord, oh my soul and forget not His benefits.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
