The mystery of receiving!3

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Psalm 100:4 KJV

Access facilitates receiving (Hebrews 4:16). Thanksgiving and praise are keys that guarantee access. Thanksgiving opens the door; praise takes you into His presence (Psalm 100:4). Don’t be a murmurer or complainer; be grateful if you want to receive from the Lord (1 Corinthians 10:10). A grateful heart is a bold heart; a heart that murmurs is a defeated heart. Jesus would always give thanks (John 11:41, John 6:11). There is an adage in my tribe: If a child is grateful for yesterday's provision, he will receive another one today. Be grateful for everything, be grateful for the gift of life, be grateful for what you are expecting from the Lord.

When you don’t know what to do and you are desperate for divine intervention, remember to give thanks, remember to praise Him (2 Chronicles 20, Acts 16:25-26). No matter your situation, be grateful to God, you will receive His mercy, favor, and help that will take you to the promised land.

Prophetic Word: I prophesy over you that God will give you a new song that will usher you into His presence in Jesus' name.

Prayer: Oh God, I thank you for your goodness and mercies over my life; that people may know that I serve you, manifest in my life in the greatness of Your glory in Jesus’ name. Amen.
