His love endures forever.

(Psalm 118.1).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere

the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.

For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who

are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one

we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life.

And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not

peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ

we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God.

(II. Corinthians 2.14-17).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

I give thanks to my God for you always when I mention you in my prayers,

Because I continue to hear of your love and of your loyal faith which you have

toward the Lord Jesus  and toward all the consecrated people of God.

And I pray that the participation in and sharing of your faith may produce

and promote full recognition and appreciation, understanding and precise

knowledge of every good thing that is ours in (our identification with) Christ

Jesus (and unto His glory).

(Philemon 1.3-6).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

and made us fit to share the portion which is the

inheritance of the saints in the Light.

(Colossians 1.12).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

His face shine upon us and among us- Selah ( pause and calmly

think of that)!-

That Your way may be known upon the earth, Your saving power

among all nations.

Let the peoples praise You and give thanks to You, O God.

Let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You.

(Psalm 67.1-3).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

O Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His

mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has

delivered from the hand of the adversary,

And gathered them out of the lands, from the east

and from the west, from the north and from the sea

in the south.

Some wondered in the wilderness in a solitary desert

track, they found no city for habitation.

Hungry and thirsty, they fainted, their lives were near

to being extinguished.

then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He

delivered them out of their distresses.

He led them forth by the straight and right way, that

they might go to a city where they could establish their

homes.

Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and

loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children

of men!

For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good.

Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in

affliction and in irons.

Because they had rebelled against the words of God and spurned

the counsel of the Most High.

Therefore He bowed down their hearts with hard labor, they

stumbled and fell down and there was no one to help.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He saved them

out of their distresses.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and

broke apart the bonds that held them.

Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-

kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!

For He has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron.

Some are fools because of the way of their transgressions and

are afflicted because of their iniquities.

They loath every kind of food and they draw near to the gates of death.

Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble and He delivers them out

of their distresses.

He sends forth His Word and rescues them from the pit and destruction.

Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness

and His wonderful works to the children of men!

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and rehearse His

deeds with shouts of joy and singing!

Some go down to the sea and travel over it in ships to do business

in great waters.

These see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep.

For he commands and raises up the stormy wind,which lifts

up the waves of the sea.

Those aboard mount up to the heavens, they go down again

to the deeps, their courage melts away because of their plight.

They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are

at their wits’ end, all their wisdom has come to nothing.

Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble and He brings them

out of their distresses.

He hushes the storm to a calm and to a gentle whisper, so that

the waves of the sea are still.

Then the men are glad because of the calm, and He brings them

to their desired haven.

Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-

kindness and wonderful works to the children of men!

Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people and

praise Him in the company of the elders.

He turns rivers into a wilderness, water springs into a thirsty ground.

A fruitful land into a barren, salt waste, because of the wickedness of

those who dwell in it.

He turns a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry ground into water

springs.

And there He makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city

for habitation,

And sow fields and plant vineyads which yield fruits of increase.

He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and

allows not their cattle to decrease.

When they are diminished and bowed down through oppression,

trouble and sorrow,

He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wonder in

waste places where there is no road.

Yet He raises the poor and needy from affliction and makes their

families like a flock.

The upright shall see it and be glad, but all iniquity shall shut its mouth.

Whoso is wise will observe and heed these things and they will diligently

consider the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord.

(Psalm107).

PRAISE THE LORD! THANK YOULORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

both Jew and Gentile united in a single

body by means of His cross, thereby

killing the enmity and bringing the feud

to an end.

And He came and preached the glad tidings

to you who were afar off and peace to those

who were near.

For it is through Him that we both (whether far

off or near) now have an introduction (access)

by one (Holy) Spirit to the Father ( so that we

are able to approach Him).

Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles,

migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights

of citizens), but you now share citizenship with

the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and

set apart for Himself), and you belong to God’s

household.

(Ephesians 2.16-19).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE

1) We are no longer strangers to God.

God is our Father. We are His children.

We know Him intimately through Jesus

Christ and by the Holy Spirit.

2) The Holy Spirit communicates His

deep love to us and our deepest concerns

 back to Him.

3) We are God’s household thanks to Jesus

Christ.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!

H

 There is therefore now no condemnation

to those who are in Christ Jesus,

who do not walk according to the flesh,

but according to the Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life

in Christ Jesus has freed me

from the law of sin and death.

( Romans 8.1 and 2).

INSPIRATION FOR

THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE

Consider these:

1) The meaning of true freedom.

2) Declared: “Not guilty!” by God Himself.

3) Being in Christ Jesus.

4) Walking according to the Spirit.

5) The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus

sets us free from the law of sin and death.

Every one of these points are of monumental

importance and deserve in- depth exploration.

Meditate and reflect on each of these.

Praise the Lord!
