TOPIC : THE POWER OF THANKSGIVING
Acts 16:23-26
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely:
Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
Paul and Silas were held in prison awaiting execution.
It was the midnight of their lives.
But at midnight, they prayed, then sang and the prison doors flung open while their executioners were watching.
Their chains fell off as a result of the praise in their mouth.
They didn't run away, they knew that what happened was not a coincidence.
It was generated by the power of praise, and it can be generated again.
The Almighty God inhabits the praises of his people.
Paul and Silas sang God into the prison and since God cannot be incarcerated by any power, the chains had no option than to melt.
Beloved, you can't carry this mystery and be chained by and situation.
With praise in your mouth, your freedom is here.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled week in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
