Weapon Of Thanksgiving
“…the king appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the Lord and praising him for his holy splendour. This is what they sang: “Give thanks to the Lord; his faithful love endures forever!”
At the very moment they began to sing and give praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to start fighting among themselves.” 2 Chronicles 20:21-21
War is always unpleasant and mixed with lots of uncertainty and even the threat of annihilation but it has the opportunity of relief and celebration if it turns out favourable.
In life, we are all in a war of some kind, it could be as regards career, marriage, health, finance, ministry or relationships. Life truly is fraught with battles but in Christ victory is assured.
How are we to fight these battles and come out victorious?
One sure weapon is Thanksgiving.
Yes! Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship! Because God always show up when we praise! Psalm 22:3 “But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Your people.”
Thanksgiving not only invites God, but it also brings down His presence into any place, life or situation.
The moment you fix your heart on God in worship you bring Him into the situation and He will certainly turn things around for your good.
Notice that in 2 Chronicles 20:22, as soon as they began to praise God, He stepped in and events began to immediately realign.
Don’t allow tough times to make you despondent rather switch your Thanksgiving on. That’s your sure weapon to win in life and guarantee your victory!
