GIFT OF GRATITUDE

THANKSGIVING FAST FRIDAY FOR FIRSTBORNS
FRIDAY 31ST DECEMBER 2021
THEME: THANKSGIVING AND GRATITUDE FOR ANSWERED PRAYERS IN 2021
TEXT: PSALM 26:7 “That I may proclaim with the voice of Thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.”

Beautiful Friday beloved mums and dads.  It’s the last Friday of the year! Isn’t GOD great? Keeping us and our children alive and well! He deserves the glory even as we wait on Him today to thank Him for the destiny fulfillment of our children in the answers we have received thus far.

This month of December, we have prayed concerning our children asking the Father regarding: 

1) Generational Mercy (3rd December)

2) Goodness of GOD (10th December)

3) Lifepath Guidance (17th December)

4) GOD on Display (24th December)

Let us therefore meditate on these scriptures below with gratitude in our hearts for GOD’s love towards us and our children even as we also prepare our hearts and offerings for thanksgiving as He has instructed we do every last Friday of the month. Today being the last day of the year is such an appropriate time to send ahead into the new year for our children a seed and offering of thanksgiving to GOD. 

2 Chronicles 29:31 “Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near, and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.”

1 Chronicles 16:29 AMP “Ascribe to the Lord the glory and honor due His name; Bring an offering [of thanksgiving], and come before Him; Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.”

Jeremiah 30:19 “And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish(be few); I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.” Amen and Amen!

Today I encourage you, let Thanksgiving proceed out of you. Pause! Reflect on the LORD’s doings in your family and especially your children’s lives in the course of 2021. True Thanksgiving elicits something from a grateful heart. True Thanksgiving causes you to return, not empty-handed but with a Thanksgiving seed to the LORD. Let there be a representation of your substance to the LORD today particularly if you have been seeing this prompts in the course of the year and yet have never heeded. Give from a truly grateful heart. Count your blessings and give GOD praise for them.

Today again, as we engage at our duty posts as we have committed to doing every Friday, may the LORD accept our Thanksgiving praise, gratitude and sacrificial offerings and seeds Amen. You may send your thanksgiving offerings and seeds to our ministry account if led to do so.

With this instruction coming for us this season after many years of engaging the Father on the Fast Friday mandate, it is necessary for us to take heed to it and not ignore it but move with precision. This is one of the ways to service this altar of consecration and destiny-fulfilment. Ensure you are alive to this act of service. May this seed as we release it to the Father release the goodness and mercy of the Father to them, may it speak for our children’s destinies when it is needed in the name of JESUS CHRIST Amen. 

By GOD’s grace, we will meet at the end of fast corporate fast breaking thanksgiving session by 6pm WAT. bit.ly/FastFridayFirstbornPrayers is our zoom room access code. See you then.

Let’s have a beautifully blessed weekend. I love and honour you!
