Service Notes
Service title: THANKSGIVING
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Teaching:
Everyday is for us a day of thanksgiving
We give thanks everyday
We fellowship everyday
We can have fellowship everyday, it doesn’t have to be in a Church building
If someone asks you why must we have a special day for thanksgiving, ask them why must we have a special place for fellowship
Luke 17:12-15-19
How many people glorify God today with a loud voice?
He was literally shouting
The man being made whole is a another miracle
When Jesus said “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”, it was another miracle altogether
God is a big God
He can blow your mind
He can do far abundantly above all that you can think of or ask for
Luke 7:36-50
The Bible does tell that the woman was a sinner [read verse 37]
The word saved is a very big word
It is God’s all inclusive word for all that He does for you
It is a wholeness when you talk about salvation
Who really sinned the most?
Ans: it is a state of mind
You know, some people say “well I wasn’t really a sinner before I became born again”, well shame on you
In other words, when God forgives you, it is not small but it can become small in your own eyes
We have come together today to give thanks for this whole year and we are looking forward to the next
Important things to notice during thanksgiving
1. Be happy for what He did for you
And so you receive a wholeness for your heartfelt thanksgiving
Whatever you are thanking Him for today, you are going to receive a wholeness
- Thank God we have a Bible
- And we can see these things and walk in the light so we are not in the dark at all
He told us to follow the right examples
2. Committing yourself to continue- you have to know that there is one major reason for which you are here in the mind of God and you have to commit yourself to continue
- When you are born again there is a big reason to be here
If you don’t know it, you’re in trouble
God gives us a reason to be here
Get acquainted with that reason
Do you love the earth so much?
There could be a reason to be here
Mark 5:18-19
Giving thanks and thanksgiving are not the same
This is the difference between the two:
Giving thanks is Expressing appreciation and Thanksgiving is a term from the old Testament that is applied to a special right, it is a ceremony in which you have the following:
- Worship
- confessions
- Sacrifices of praise and
- Thanksgiving offering- it is always accompanied by an offering that is called the thanksgiving offering
This is not semantics, it is spiritual language
