I love the month of October, because it is my birthday month! I always get excited and my heart swells with joy, in appreciation of God for my life and for His goodness and mercies towards me. However, yesterday, a scripture dropped in my heart…
Leviticus 26:10 NLT
“You will have such a surplus of crops that you will need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new harvest!”
I sensed in my spirit that this special month of October is a month or resetting, renewal, restoration and recompensation. (Joel 2:25-27). God is doing a new thing, and though my eyes have not yet seen it, I am so excited that I simply want to thank and praise Him!
So, this month, I would like to raise an altar of thanksgiving and praise to God in this place, and ask you to come along and join me in thanking, praising and worshipping God. I know it will be a marathon, but the Holy Spirit will help us find something to thank and praise God for, each day!
Psalm 100:1-5
“[1] Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth! [2] Worship the LORD with gladness. Come before Him, singing with joy. [3] Acknowledge that the LORD is God! He made us, and we are His. We are His people, the sheep of His pasture. [4] Enter His gates with thanksgiving; go into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. [5] For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation.”
Would you join me in entering the Lord’s gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise? Would you come along with me in declaring His praises and singing and worshipping Him, in love and appreciation? If yes, then let’s beginning by singing Terry MacAlmon’s song, “Blessings And Honour…..”
Blessing and honor
Glory and power
Riches and wisdom and strength
Be unto You, unto You
Who sits at the right hand of God
Be unto You, unto You
Who sits at the right hand of God
Unto You

A PRAYER
Dear Lord, you are worthy of praise and thanksgiving. We give you thanks and ask You to fill our hearts with joy and gladness, as we focus on You and bring our sacrifices of praise to You. Holy Spirit, may You please enable us to praise the Lord? And Father, may our praises be pleasing and acceptable to You; may You reveal Yourself to us in our worship.
Indeed, O God, praise is awaiting You in Zion (Psalm 65:1). May Jesus Christ be glorified!! Hallelujah!!

Fulfilling Our Theme For 2024: “Building The Highway And Lifting The Banner”
“And in that day, there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him…. (therefore) Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a banner for the peoples!” [Isaiah 11:10, Isaiah 62:10]
