Higher Everyday

Key Verse

Text —Ecclesiastes 7:8-10

Message

Believers are supposed to express heartfelt gratitude to God. He deserves all our praises for all He has done for us this year – protection, preservation, provision, promotion, success, peace, security, sound health, healing, deliverance, spiritual blessings, salvation, sanctification, Holy Ghost baptism, and divine mercies. We passed through a lot of undesirable experiences in our journey this year, but the Lord overcame for us. God loves and blesses those who show gratitude for His goodness upon their lives. Hear Andrae Crouch in these lyrics:

I thank God for the mountains, And I thank Him for the valleys, 

I thank Him for the storms, He brought me through; 

For if I’d never had a problem, I wouldn’t know that He could solve them, 

I’d never know what faith in God could do.

Beloved, we need to sing praises and share the testimonies of what God has done for us this year as the year comes to an end today. However, don’t enter the coming New Year with an old life of sin, but a new life of holiness.
