THE MESSAGE:

For years I have always felt a pull to praise and worship God as a means of appreciating Him and giving thanks to Him for daily kindness and blessings. It is a good thing to always give thanks to the Lord, because He is the owner of our lives and He created us for His pleasure. The Bible says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord (Ps. 150:6.)

There are so many ways we can thank the Lord for His mercies in our lives. One of the best ways is to praise and worship Him constantly. You don’t need to be a music person to worship God. It all starts from your heart. You begin to recount His many blessings in your life and let your heart appreciate Him for His goodness. We worship God in songs, music, and even in our attitudes.

We praise Him by lifting up our hands and singing praises to His holy name. What is your favourite way to praise the Lord? Get a way that interests you to give thanks to God always. As a Christian, you are likely to have a sense of gratitude when you think about the power and greatness of God. Expressing those feelings is the beginning of giving thanks to the Lord.

You can thank the Lord by prayer of praises. This type of prayer starts by addressing God directly. You begin by recounting His personal attributes that make Him God: His mercy, power, faithfulness and righteousness. You continue to thank and praise Him for His numerous goodness to your life from birth, the grace that saved your soul from eternal damnation are all benefits we cannot thank God enough for all our lives.

For by grace you were saved and not by any work you have done (Ephesians 2:9). Ingratitude is the worst of vices. You must develop a lifestyle of praise until you become a praise in the earth. Appreciating God will make your life to be appreciated and increase the grace of God upon your life. When you are confronted with cares and worries in the world, remember the greatness and goodness of God in your life and your worries will become worship.

In addition, thank Him for bringing you safely to the end of the year.
