Category: To Give Thanks To God

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

5 For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

Going to the House of God has been seen as routine to many believers, (Sunday routine) since the real reason for service is unknown to many. Many attend church services because it’s a norm and to see friends and love ones but that’s not why we attend service.

The first reason for appearing before God is to give God Thanks for who He is, for all He has done and what He will do. He’s our God and our maker, the reason for our living. Going before Him is a sign of worship. The scripture said of Elkanah and his family in, 1 Sam. 1:3

“THIS MAN WENT UP FROM HIS CITY YEARLY TO WORSHIP AND SACRIFICE TO THE LORD OF HOSTS IN SHILOH. 

Our purpose in His presence is to worship His Majesty and not just to meet with friends. To show God gratitude for all His act towards us since we left His House. We are to present our sacrifices of praise and offer him Thanksgiving.

David said we should come into His gate with thanksgiving and into His court with Praise. Mind you, this appreciation focuses on God and God only, it has nothing to do with men. That was what King Solomon did when He became the King of Israel. He appeared before the God of His Father first with thousands of sacrifices which opened all other doors for him, 1 Kings 3:3-6. 

Don’t appear before God without this purpose in heart. Go with your thanksgiving and sacrifices when next you appear in His Presence and He will show you who He Is. Praise The Lord forever more, Halleluyah.

God Bless you and Good Morning.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
