Give Thanks to the Lord

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. 4 to him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever. 5 who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever. 6 who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever. 7 who made the great lights— His love endures forever. 8 the sun to govern the day, His love endures forever. 9 the moon and stars to govern the night; His love endures forever. 10 to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt His love endures forever. 11 and brought Israel out from among them His love endures forever. 12 with a mighty hand and outstretched arm; His love endures forever.

Heal Nations with the Presence of God

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The presence of God carries the power of God – Psalm 68 verse 1. The Presence of God is in the Word of God. That is why the Word of God does not return to Him void. The manifest presence of God is in the Word of God. To receive His manifest presence in our midst, we must be truly prepared for Him, consecrated and sanctified. When we are dealing, interacting with the Word of God, we are dealing, interacting with the Person, one of the Personalities of the Godhead who does not lie (1^st Samuel Chapter 15 verse 29, Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19); who does not fail (Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 8 to 13) and because He does not change, He makes good every wonderful promise He makes to us.

The Presence of God is not in carefully chosen songs or in certain practiced ways of singing, drumming, dancing, preaching or walking. The Presence of God is in a person’s total yielded-ness to God; to allow God through His Holy Spirit and His word to always have His way in your life irrespective of what you think appears better. Give God the space and He will live in you and your heart at all times. The presence of God is in His word because God is the word made flesh. See John Chapter 1 verses 1 to 5. The ultimate goal of Bible study is fellowship with God, to know God – grow in the knowledge and understanding of God. It is not a legalistic ritual that compels or obliges God to provide for us, protect us or expand us. Rather, it is a daily meeting of reaffirming our love and commitment to God.
