MoneyWalk 451: True Thanksgiving produces Thanksliving

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

It’s easy to think you’re giving thanks on the holiday by following the tradition of having family over and eating lots of turkey, ham, and dressing and watching football games. However, true thanks is signaled by both word and deed in acknowledging the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to win your salvation and eternal life and your action to give of your time and money to spread this good news throughout your family, community, and world.

True thanksgiving can certainly take place in the family interaction that occurs. In order to be so, you need to openly communicate that the meal and favors provided and that have previously been provided are made possible due to the bounty that proceeds from the grace of God almighty. True thanksgiving also needs to take place throughout each year in the giving of our resources to help those outside of our family who are truly in need.

All of us have something to give to help others out and sometimes to simply bless someone else. Even when we don’t seem to have much, we have more than we are aware of. We truly signal that we’re thankful when even in adversity and poverty we give to spread the gospel and help those in need. Those who are not suffering adversity and poverty should do the same to a greater degree.

Scripture signifies that those whose hearts are fixed upon Christ and truly thankful will give abundantly above what it appears they are able to give. Their thankful hearts will abound in overwhelming generosity in both physical service and monetary giving to truly help others on Earth and so that others may know they can have their names written in the book of Life in Heaven. This is the real root of Thanksgiving and when it is truly present it abounds before God and man in a great display of Thanksliving.

Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
