My dear Parishioners,
My Dear Parishioners, Greetings in the name of our risen Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I joyfully announce to you the Theme for The Month is “Be Thankful”.
It is God’s grace and hard work put in by all who make this wonderful website available to us all.
As we are overcoming the COVID crisis, which seems to be slowing down, let us all thank God for His mercy, love, and grace upon us. Let us also thank all the people who took care of us - The Doctors, the nurses, medical stores, the police department, the Government employees, and all who worked hard to keep this pandemic under control.
The Bible says it is good to give thanks, to be thankful, to remember all His blessings. (Ps.103) Thanksgiving is a part of our Christian life. Be thankful for little, little things. Our Lord Jesus Christ was always thankful for all.
The man Apostle Paul was a man who had learned the meaning of true thanksgiving, even in the midst of great adversity. Earlier, when he had been imprisoned in Rome, Paul wrote, “Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:19-20, NIV).
Think of it: Always giving thanks for everything - no matter the circumstances! Thanksgiving for the Apostle Paul was not a once-a-year celebration, but a daily reality that changed his life and made him a joyful person in every situation.
Thanksgiving - the giving of thanks - to God for all His blessings should be one of the most distinctive marks of the believer in Jesus Christ. We 3 must not allow a spirit of ingratitude to harden our hearts and chill our relationship with God and with others.
From one end of the Bible to the other, we are commanded to be thankful. In fact, thankfulness is the natural outflowing of a heart that is attuned to God. The psalmist declared, “Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving” (Psalms 147:7 NIV). Paul wrote, “Be thankful” (Colossians 3:15 NIV). A spirit of thanksgiving is always the mark of a joyous Christian.
Why should we be thankful? Because God has blessed us, and we should be thankful for each blessing.
Thank God for the Material Blessings that He Gives You
Thank God for the People in Your Life
Thank God in the Midst of Trials and even Persecution
Thank God Especially for His Salvation in Jesus Christ
Thank God for His Continued Presence and Power in Your Life through the Holy Spirit.
When we are Thankful and give thanks to God, we glorify God and God is pleased with us. God loves and honors a thankful heart.
A Thankful heart is a joyful heart.
God bless you with a Joyful month. May His presence continually be with you and your family. May His hand be upon everything you do, and God bless your going out and coming in.
You Are Blessed
Rev. Manoj Kate
