Thankfulness Is the Seed for More – Part 1
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, Bless and affectionately praise His Name.”
Thankfulness simply means, showing appreciation of someone or something, to be grateful. The Webster’s Dictionary defines Gratitude, thanks, thankfulness, appreciation, indebtedness, adj.’ to be beholding, indebted, in one’s debt and thanks, “thanksgiving” and thankful are used 137 times in the Bible. If the ingredients of gratitude were counted, it would include praise, joy and rejoicing.
If all these were counted, the number of times “gratitude” appears in its many forms would be staggering. You see, thankfulness is the powerful force that attracts others towards you or moves them away from you. Many gifted and talented people never taste the rewards of their skills because their unthankfulness makes them undesirable to be near.
Thankfulness is the force that determines whether you multiply or decrease, grow or die, attract or repel the company of other successful people. It is the power tool used by God to reconstruct the circumstances around you. It minimizes the effect of negative things and it enables you to pleasure the Holy Spirit, keeping Him present to defeat your enemy.
