Kato Mivule November 27, 2008 If there is any time to be thankful, it is during this Global Economic Crisis… There are lots of changes going on globally…driving the world towards a Global Economic Government.
Financially, many of The Lord’s people are not doing well, many have lost jobs, many live in poor nations of the earth but The Lord is our provider and sustains us. Despite all the poverty and need, it is God’s Command that we be thankful in all things. The Lord is Sovereign and He guides and leads those who trust and obey Him. Be thankful and trust in The Lord’s Providence. All things work out for the good of those who are in Christ Jesus. Yes, thank The Lord in ALL things…not just in good times but also in bad times… In this world we shall have many tribulations but let us be thankful and rest assured in The Lord’s peace that surpasses all understanding. Romans 8:28 (28) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Ephesians 5:4 (4) Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. Ephesians 5:20-21 (20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; (21) Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Colossians 1:3 (3) We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, Colossians 3:17 (17) And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (16) Rejoice evermore. (17) Pray without ceasing. (18) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 (13) But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (1) I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; (2) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Hebrews 13:15 (15) By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Kato Mivule
