TEXT: "If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings.." (Mal 2:2)

Let me start by saying that until you start thanking God for where you are now your position will never change, that's the truth. It's time you stop being ungrateful to God. God is worthy of all our thanks. The more grateful you are to God the greater your life becomes. What you do to God determines what He does to you. Thank Him always and He will manifest Himself the more in your life. Greatness is a product of gratefulness.

Where you are today is not by reason of your strength but by the Hand of God. Yes, by the Hand of God. I want you to know that every area of your life where you have excelled or succeeded is not by your own strength but by the strength of God. Hannah said: “...for by strength shall no man prevail” (1Sam 2:9).

Everything that people celebrate in your life is the finger of God at work. Don’t you know that no man can do these things except God be with him, was the statement of Nicodemus (John 3). Yes the act may be marvelous, but know that it is the Lord’s doing. Don’t deny Him His glory. It will not be profitable unto you.

You and I live purely by the mercies of God. The bible says: "It is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy" (Rom 9:16). All that you own till date is as a result of His mercies.

Thank Him always for His mercies that avail to you His blessings. Know that anyone that fails to acknowledge God is on his/her way down. It is a sign of pride and pride goeth before a fall. You must give God glory always in all things so that you don’t lose what you already have in your hand.

You shall not be a victim! 

PRAYER: You will not fail and you will not fall again, in Jesus name.

DAILY CONFESSION: This year 2022, I am more than conqueror by the Power of the Holy Spirit therefore I shall continue to celebrate all through the year, hallelujah!
