I'm Too Blessed Not To Be Thankful

When I take inventory of my life - of me - my thoughts, my past, my mistakes, my current posture, my current circumstances!

Although it may seem as if I’ve suffered a great deal over the years, but God has been with me all my life, and truly, I cannot complain because I realize that I Am Blessed!

My family is doing good, my Church is doing good, my job, my home, all of this is a blessing! Even when I consider those things I would have done differently, with the knowledge I have now, and it seems as if I am still suffering for those decisions, but God’s Goodness strengthens me and keeps me, so I Am To Blessed Not To Be Thankful!

Suffering is not what you think it is, suffering, although comes due to disobedience, but when you suffer in God, for His Sake, you Glorify Him!

I understand about the first Adam’s fall and how he brought suffering into the earth!

And that suffering is a result of disobedience to His Will and way!

Disobedience binds you up, Obedience frees you!

Sufferings of this life are primarily due to the misuse of our Kingdom Freedom!

Some take it for granite - forgetting that it is God Who always causes us to triumph!

And the reason some of us are so warped with frustration, dejection and despair, is because you are considering the sufferings more than the blessings of God! We go through these things to get better and to have our minds changed towards God!

Although the first Adam brought suffering in the earth!

Through The Second Adam - We have been given an opportunity to live and not die, to have joy, in the midst of despair, to have peace, in the midst of chaos, and to have an assurance of deliverance in the midst of sufferings, all because God saw fit to bless us with His Best!

His Only Begotten Son, and because you believe in Him, you are blessed - So you have no choice but to be Thankful!

Suffering can be used for God’s Will and His purpose in the earth!

I’ve come to realize, thru the Power of The Holy Spirit, it does not matter the degree of suffering in this life, if I consider less these things and focus more on His Excellence and Power, I will be able to operate in purpose, in the midst of suffering!

This is a season of Thanksgiving, in which we are thankful in every season, but God has commissioned me to push His Word into the atmosphere so that everyone will know that because He is God all by Himself, and He cares for you, He Has Blessed you in spite of, You Must Be Thankful!

God deserves all of the Glory, all of the Praise, all of The Honor; regardless of what my outward may be experiencing right now, I know that I have a Guarantee living on the inside of me and He lets me know to hold on because soon and very soon the miracle you have been desiring will manifest!

He says; “Just be thankful in the meantime, God is working in your favor!”

Joseph (Zaphnath-Paaneah - God Speaks and He Lives), we all know this story well, had favor on his life from the beginning - His Father favored him more than his brothers, which they chose to hate him because of his favor!

Many hate me because of the favor on my life - That is OK, it does not matter to me, because God bestowed it and you cannot take it away! I realize the truth, and that is, This is The Day that God has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!

The enemy has some of us confounded with so much despair we cannot be glad because some of you are too selfish!

Jesus shared in our sufferings, gave us an example to prove that you too, we too, can make/have made it through!

But we want it like we want it and when it doesn’t work out how we want it, we pouting!

All that Joseph endured, he still had forgiveness in his heart, he still sought the will of God, he still honored God in his actions!

People may not remember what you say, but they will remember what you do!

So Joseph did not focus on the evil that was done to him because he said, what you all intended to be for evil, God used that for Good!

When you realize that you are blessed, without even deserving it, you won’t be so wound up by the intentions of the enemy because you are Thankful that God is greater and He has the Power to turn it for your good! Regardless. . . Period!

It does not matter how many times I have fallen down, our God is so loving and powerful, He can pick you up, if you allow Him to! God loves you persistently, His Love is always there, we just need to turn to Him and remain steadfast in Him, and leave our own thoughts, ideologies aside and rest in His Will!

Some of y’all pray for His Will to be done and when it is, you forget that He did His Will and you let your heart be troubled because it did not work out how you envisioned it!

You asked for God’s Will to be done, not yours!

When Joseph was in prison, he was there on purpose, interpreting dreams, and the butler forgot him when he gave him instructions concerning his dream!

Joseph could have given up, quit, just said I’m done with this, but he did not lose focus, he kept moving forward in spite of, which is why he is blessed because he did not give into his own thinking!

As a matter of fact, we know that Joseph was elevated, promoted, and bore two sons - 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.” 52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.” The New King James Version. (1982). (Ge 41:51–52). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

When you put more focus on the sufferings and not Who can keep you in the sufferings, you will always be in a place of ungratefulness!

Joseph was in prison, but serving, he was still doing the will of God and what I love about this story is that in every suffering he honored God!

He told Potiphars wife that he would not sleep with her - even though he was good looking - He did not allow the power he had to pull the kings wife, sway him!

When he was in prison, he told them that interpretations are from God, tell them to me!

This statement tells me that he knew he was and Who was with him!

Joseph story is amazing because in every suffering, the Bible says that God was with Him, and God showed Him Mercy and Prospered him in everything his hand touched!

When your heart is set on honoring God, you will realize that He is with you always and He will never leave you!

This is why you realize that “I Am Too Blessed, Not To Be Thankful!” I realize that the Sufferings of this present time, are not worthy to be compared to the Glory to come - So I will be thankful - Because Jesus provided for you and for me, an example for us to live by!

John 16:33 NKJV

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
