Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Welcome to the month of December! Here we are at the tail end of the year 2012! How time flies! God has been Good & Faithful throughout this year! I know you can testify of the same! As the year begins to wind up and we begin to look in retrospect at year 2012; I hope you'll be able to 'Count your Blessings throughout this year & give God Thanks! Rather than Complain over whatever you may think you have as an excuse to Complain about! Complaining can easily become an addictive habit. Many people complain when they don't have something, (money, food, clothes, etc) or when they don't have enough. But we'll find out later in this message what Jesus did when he didn't have enough to meet His 'need'! Instead of Complaining - He gave Thanks! The Truth is that: If you are always looking for something to Complain about - you'll always find one! So rather than spend your precious time Complaining over anything whatsoever that may have happened to you this year; why don't you turn your Complain into Counting your Blessings & Giving God Thanks in All things! 

I'd now want to conclude the Message on Thanksgiving that I started in our last edition. It's still an excerpt from one of my Books Titled: "Persistence Works! Discovering How To Persist Unto Your Miracle." It's from the subtitle: 'Persistence And The Power Of Thanksgiving'. Excerpt: "... Jesus was confronted with an almost impossible task. Over four thousand people to be fed - in the wilderness, where there was no market or supermarket, and no bakery. Yet these people had to be fed. There was nothing other than seven loaves of bread and few fishes. Jesus again, ... deployed the Power of Thanksgiving. He simply lifted up those loaves of bread and few fishes, and again he gave thanks - And those became a "Raw material" for manufacturing food, the multiplication of those "Food raw material" continued until every one was fed and there were leftovers to the tune of seven baskets. That's the Power of Thanksgiving. 

Now, when you've persisted, and the miracle or breakthrough finally arrives - before you forget it, You Must Return to God and say THANK YOU! For doing it for you. Both from a human and divine perspective, it is irresponsible for one to receive some thing - a gift or assistance from someone, and don't come back to say Thanks. Even God frowns at it. In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus had healed Ten Lepers. When nine saw that they were healed, they just went their ways, but only one did come back to Jesus to say Thank You. Jesus had to ask: "Are there not ten that were healed? Where are the nine?" Subsequently, Jesus blessed the man. 

From all these, we can conclude that; First, Thanksgiving Attracts Miracles and makes Impossible Things Possible; Second, Thanksgiving Attracts Blessings and Opens the windows of God's Blessings to you; Third, Thanksgiving Attracts Abundance and Unlimited Resources to you; Fourth, Thanksgiving Attracts Heaven to Intervene in Your Affairs; and Fifth, Thanksgiving Attracts Victory & Paralyses the devil and your troubles. That's the Power of Thanksgiving. ..." 

I Prophesy over your Life & Destiny from today, that: you will Overcome every temptation to Complain; But cultivate an attitude of Thanksgiving! As you become more Thankful to God for what He has done; I see the Power of Thanksgiving being Released upon you - in Jesus Name!
