Psalms 100:4 "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."
One of the secrets to victory over issues of life is thanksgiving. The reason is because, thanksgiving is the gateway to God's Presence (Ps 100:4) and God's Presence guarantees victory all the time (Ps 97:5).
What is thanksgiving? It is recounting the past acts of God our life. There is need for us to look back and bless the Lord for the blessings and victories we enjoyed so as to secure more (Ps 103:1-8). If you want to cultivate the art of thanksgiving, like Psalmist, your focus should be first on spiritual things and not material things. One of the reasons man fails in gratitude is because man’s focus is on material things.
Thanksgiving is provoked when you make a comparison between where you are now and where you used to be. You might not be where you want to be but you are not where you used to be. You might not have what you desire but God has not given you what you deserve. The Bible says in Psalm 130:3 "if the LORD regards iniquity, who will stand?" So, God has been good to you.
God's goodness is not subject to anything that happened externally. If you are promoted or not, He is good. I want to admonish you to spend the days of this week to give quality thanks to God for all blessings and victories in 2020 and you will secure His Hand for next year.
PRAYER: A victory week for you, in Jesus name.
