Be Thankful In Every Situation

I got this word yesterday while going home from church. The Spirit kept impressing the word upon me.

The Spirit of Christ says, “Be thankful in every situation. Give thanks continually—at all times, in all circumstances. You have petitioned the Master repeatedly; now start giving Him thanks for who He is and what He is capable of doing. Will you trust Him? Do warfare with the armor of praise as you can. Remember Joshua 6:5: “Then all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every one straight before him.’”

The word Eucharista is a Greek word meaning “thanksgiving.” Praise Him beyond what you are going through. Don’t wait for the holiday of Thanksgiving, but continue with that attitude beyond the calendar season.

If a child wanted something from a parent—say, a toy—and it had not yet been purchased, what do you think would happen if he said: “Thank you for the toy you will buy for me. I am expectant; I will get it.” The parent would see the faith and hope of the child and would honor that, delivering the expectation at the perfect time.

All truth is parallel. This also applies spiritually, as indicated in Hebrews 11:1.

This is a strategy to be applied in this season when spiritual warfare has gone a notch higher. Mix this strategy with all manner of prayer—intercession, binding, loosing, and so on. This is too lethal for the enemy!

Jesus also used different strategies in ministry. To one He said, “Go and wash in the pool of Siloam.” To another He boldly said, “Your faith has made you whole.” Yet others simply touched the hem of His garment and were made whole.

Now He has said, “You (we) give thanks and watch what I will do.”

I lost a contact I had wanted to speak to for two years. Miraculously, I met his sibling along the way, and the matter was sorted. I was thankful that the Lord alone could do this, as this word rushed into my spirit. Was it a coincidence? I believe not.

The power of praise and thanksgiving has not been fully utilized in our times. Instead, we murmur and complain over trivial matters. This word is tied to a blessing, based on what happened. I even wondered why, when this word came, I suddenly received the contact I could not engage for two years. I did not treat it as just a mere rhema word—I spoke with a sigh of relief the other day. And even this morning, he called me.

This was my college mate, whose dad once helped me find accommodation free of charge, with all meals included, for two months when I first reported for a work-related assignment in a certain location. When his father passed away a year later from a diabetes-related ailment, my friend’s mother had a hectic time taking care of five young adults who were still under her care.

I remember when she organized a fundraiser for two of them who were pursuing higher education. I gave her my contribution and said, “I am thankful for the help I received then—it was God-sent.” I didn’t do that because of the favor I had received, but simply out of gratitude, as a well-known friend of the family.

Everybody has a reason to be thankful for something—past or present. Being thankful and full of praise transcends time.

Psalm 147:1 — Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God, for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
