\u201cIn everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you\u201d\u00a0( \u25ba I Thessalonians 5:18 )<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

Supernatural Turnaround, greetings to you and welcome to the third week of May 2021. 40 years ago, the Liberation mandate was birth after an 18-hour encounter and in the last 39 years,\u00a0the strange acts of God in our midst has left all of us awe-struck\u00a0<\/strong>so as our token of appreciation to God,\u00a0an all-month thanksgiving mode has been activated.<\/strong>\u00a0In the spirit of thanksgiving, this week, and for the rest of this month, we will be exploring a series titled:\u00a0Engaging the Power of Thanksgiving.<\/strong>Thanksgiving is the vehicle that moves men from the realm of insufficiencies to that of all-sufficiency.<\/strong>\u00a0In Matthew 10, Mark 6 and John 6, Jesus\u2019 disciples had just returned from a mission during which they had seen blind eyes opened, the sick healed; and the oppressed liberated (Matthew 10). On realizing that\u00a0they needed time to unwind, to be rebuilt and renewed,\u00a0<\/strong>Jesus took them across the Sea of Galilee (Mark 6:30-32).<\/p>

After crossing the Sea, and arriving in the town of Bethsaida, they realized that a\u00a0crowd had figured out where they were headed,<\/strong>\u00a0and had gone around the lake to meet them. Seeing the great multitude, and knowing their need,\u00a0Jesus turned to Philip and instructed him to organize food for them.<\/strong>\u00a0The crowd numbered 5000 men\u00a0(aside women and children)\u00a0<\/em>and even if the disciples had the funds to take care of the multitude, there was no place to buy such quantity of food needed to feed these tired and hungry crowd.\u00a0Philip was in a dilemma. He was frustrated, he was afraid.<\/strong><\/p>

However, while Philip looked at the figures, Jesus looked to the Father.<\/strong>\u00a0Lifting up his eyes, the Bible records that He thanked God the Father for the little boy\u2019s lunch pack he had just received and\u00a0the meal multiplied enough to feed the entire crowd. When lunch was over, there were twelve basket full of leftovers.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>

As you read this epistle this week, there is a good chance that you are feeling frustrated about something, someone\u2019s attitude, \u00a0anything at all. Maybe the bills are piling up on your desk. Maybe the job you hold is not generating the necessary income to keep your books balanced. Maybe a relationship seems to be lacking the love you desire. Whatever it is, today I want to encourage you to emulate the example of Jesus.
Take your eyes off the issues and\u00a0look up to the Father on the platform of Thanksgiving\u00a0and Praise.<\/p>

Thanksgiving is the fuel you need to run your race in Victory and freedom<\/strong>\u00a0so as I sign off this week, my prayer for you is that you will\u00a0have faith in the Father, and in everything give thanks.<\/strong><\/p>

Welcome to your Season of all-sufficiency<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
