Thanksgiving Can Raise The Dead!
41… And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42And I know that You always hear Me…
John 11:41–42
After Jesus had said these words, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” And the man who had been dead for four days came out of his tomb!
This is one of the greatest miracles that Jesus performed. Lazarus had been dead for four days when Jesus raised him to life. Wouldn’t you agree that death is indeed an extreme problem? Having no money in the bank, being sick and losing your job, bad as they are, are not as bad as being dead!
But what I want you to see is this: If Jesus, in the most extreme of problems, shows us that the solution is still, “Father, I thank You,” then how much more should we thank God in the midst of the less serious problems we face. If thanksgiving can raise the dead, then let us give thanks in spite of the negative circumstances and we will see victory.
Unfortunately, we tend to do the opposite — murmur and complain. But murmuring and complaining only magnify the problem. Thanksgiving, on the other hand, is the language of faith that pleases God. I am not saying that we give thanks for the problems we have. No, we thank God that He is our answer and that He has already given every blessing to us. (Ephesians 1:3)
“But Pastor Enoch, what I have is so little.”
My friend, thank God for the little you have and it will multiply. Jesus thanked His Father for the five barley loaves and two small fish, a little boy’s lunch, and they were multiplied to feed more than 5,000 people with 12 baskets full of leftovers! (John 6:8–13) And notice that when the Holy Spirit talked about this event again, He specifically mentioned the Lord giving thanks — “the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks”. (John 6:23) The Holy Spirit seemed to be more pleased with the act of giving thanks than the miracle of multiplication or the 12 baskets full of leftovers.
Beloved, the more you thank God, the more you please Him. What little you have will be multiplied and whatever is dead in your life will be raised to life!

If thanksgiving can raise the dead, then let us give thanks in spite of the negative circumstances and we will see victory.For example …..If Jesus, in the most extreme of problems, shows us that the solution is still, “Father, I thank You,” then how much more should we thank God in the midst of the less serious problems we face.

Lord I am grateful for everything. Your provisions for my wedding coming up in 30days have been amazing. Yes, we have more needs to be met but for the ones already settled, I give you thanks.
Thank you Jesus.
I celebrate you Pst. E. Alamu
Lord, I’m grateful for everything You have done, and for the one You still do, I causes miracles to manifest in my life now inJesus name.
Amen, we should give thanks in all circumstances. The walls of Jericho fell because of praise. Sometimes when we go through tough situations we forget what God has done or what He can do. My prayer is may thanks giving and praise stay on my mouth and in my heart and may His word stay engraved in my heart. That I may not forget all God has done and all He can do.
Thank you Pastor for this devotion

Thank you 8s one 9f my favourite words in the world. It was what Jesus used to our Heavenly Father that caused Him to feed so many people overv, 5000, it was the same word He used to do one of the greatest miracle by calling Lazarus back to life, as pastor had shared in the devotional. Now I am shouting in it out to Our God of creation you. And to you pastor and mama Joy for all to that has been for me, on my behalf, for my children, grand children and grandchildren.
A MASSIVE MILLIONS OF THANKS GIVING I SAY CONTINUALLY. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN 🙏🏾❤️🌹🙏🏾

Thank you Pastor for reminding me how important it is not to only give thanks verbally, but to also express my gratitude. Such a timely devotional as I look forward to also giving thanks to God on Sunday!
