     #GiveThanks?

_give thanks to God. 

Key passage:2 Corinthians 9:10-11

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Dear friend, 

It's another time of the year where we look back at the goodness of God and everything he has provided (seed and bread) during the course of the year. Because Thanksgiving is always a result of something, something heard, seen or done. Look back at the times God spoke, came through or revealed something to you in a very trying moment. Or the numerous times He provided, protected and lead you. If you are looking for any reason to be thankful, these alone should result in thanksgiving. It's great to be at the very last month of the year 2019. 

*Who has been your supply?*

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food has also supplied and increased your store. Take a good look at yourself, it was never by your strength you got to this point. Someone asked a friend, "how much does your son cost?" and the man said my son isn't up for sale and I also didn't buy him. His friend said, "yes I know, I'm only saying how much will it take to raise a son"?  And the man said approximately 1million dollars. His friend said, "that's so much you know, but God always provides". 

It's important God becomes your only supply if He hasn't been. You have all you need when God is your supply. The scripture says, He supplies seed and bread. This is the time of the month where we often eat our seed together with our bread all because we want to show off, just for us to start all over again in the next year. If Jesus supplies seed and bread, then you must be able to differentiate which is which. Eat the bread and sow the seed. Some of the money, food stuff, or cloths in the house are no longer bread but seed. Take them out and sow in someone's life. Your time too can be a seed, take out some time this season and sow seeds of gratitude, and love. 

*Giving generously blooms from a thankful heart*

If you are Thankful then it will show in your Giving. When we talk about giving, people quickly think of money. But money isn't the only thing that can be given. First of all, we need to understand that we only give what we have. So if you are full of thanks, give thanks; thanks can now reflect in you giving out time, money, assistance or love just to show your gratitude.

Paula said you will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion. God has enriched you in every way. Believe it and run with it. Don't hold back from blessing someone because of the thought that you don't have much. Don't hold back from being generous this season because of the thought that if you give what will you eat tomorrow. God has enriched you in every way you can possibly think. 

*Go and be generous in giving Him thanks*
