The Power of Thanksgiving with Guest Minister Jerry Akorede

The Seun Osigbesan Podcast

In this spiritually uplifting episode of "The Seun Osigbesan Podcast," guest minister Jerry Akorede delves deep into the transformative power of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, he explains, is the act of expressing gratitude and giving thanks for the benefits and acts of favour bestowed upon us. It's a response to an act of kindness, and it's independent of itself, requiring someone to initiate a kind gesture.

Jerry emphasizes that we should praise God for His goodness, as stated in Psalms 118:1 and 136:1. Thanksgiving is not solely predicated on God's performance; it's a commandment from God, and believers are called to obey it immediately and exactly. The enduring mercies of God are a testament to His acts. Therefore, we are reminded not to underestimate the importance of our praise.

The episode also explores how to walk in Thanksgiving, touching on crucial aspects like honouring God, maintaining faith, cultivating the right attitude, finding contentment, and embracing joy. Jerry emphasizes that faith is catalyzed by Thanksgiving, and whatever blessings we have now are not the end of God's provision – there is always more in God's vast capacity.
