”THANKSGIVING OF FAITH: Believing, Speaking, and Appreciating”

(Mark 11:20‑26; John 6:11; John 11:38‑44)

Recently, while praying for church members and some individuals and groups on my “Prayer intercessional list”, the Spirit of the Lord nudged me to share a word with three of them, that they should: *"Walk in thanksgiving of faith."* Be intentionally thankful to God for the answers they're waiting on—_as if_ they've already happened.

Knowing that a word for one can be a prophecy for all, I decided to share this with you._

THE FARMER:
Imagine a farmer sowing seeds in his field, filled with promise but with no visible signs of growth. With hands lifted and heart full, he thanks God for the abundant harvest already secured in the promise. The seeds haven’t sprouted, but his gratitude reveals a confidence that God’s word is sure.

In the same way, "faith isn’t just waiting for a miracle—it’s praising God" as if the miracle has already happened.*

> *Thanksgiving of faith is embracing God’s word, declaring it, and giving thanks _now_ for the answer—rooted in the Father’s love, mercy, grace, goodness, power, and unfailing promises.*

1. *Believe – The Heart of Faith*
Faith begins in the heart, but it is not a vague feeling; it rests on who God is.
When we remember His *love* that sent Jesus, His *mercy* that forgives, His *grace* that empowers, His *goodness* that never fails, His *power* that creates, and His *provision* that supplies every need, belief becomes more than a hope—it becomes a confident assurance.

When the disciples saw the fig tree that had withered, Jesus used it to teach them a deeper truth: the tree had no fruit, and He wanted them to understand that true faith in God can move mountains. He said, “Have faith in God…” (Mark 11:22‑24).

_Application:_ Identify one “frustrated fruit tree” in your life—a strained relationship, a financial need, a health issue. Write down the promise God has given you about it, and each morning affirm it in your heart, recalling the attributes of the One who promised.

2. *Speak – The Mouth of Faith:*
What we say shapes what we receive, and our words are empowered by God’s *power* and *grace*. In Mark 11:23‑24 Jesus says, “If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt… it will be done.” The power is in the spoken word that aligns with God’s Word. (Rom.10:8-12)

3. *Thank God for answered prayers*
Jesus also thanked the Father before breaking the five loaves (John 6:11). Thanksgiving was the declaration of provision. He did the same at the resurrection of Lazarus (John 11:41-44)

_Application:_ When you pray, follow the pattern:

1. *Ask* – state your need, not begging.
2. *Speak* – declare the answer as already received, remembering that God’s *provision* is sufficient.
3. *Appreciate and acknowledge God Almighty* Acknowledge God Almighty and appreciate him for his goodness and wonderful works.
4. *Thank* – give gratitude for the outcome, trusting His *goodness* and *mercy*.

*Thank – The Spirit of Faith*
Thanksgiving is the climax of faith. It acknowledges that God has already acted, and it flows from His *mercy*, *goodness*, and *provision*. Paul tells us in 1 Thes.5:18 to “give thanks in all circumstances,” not because the circumstance has changed, but because God’s faithfulness does not change.

_Application:_ After you have believed and spoken, close your prayer with a simple thank‑you: “Thank you, Lord, for the breakthrough that is already manifesting.” Keep a gratitude journal and add each answered prayer, even the ones you are still waiting to see.

*Addressing doubt*
You may wonder, “Is it presumptuous to thank God for something I haven’t yet seen?” The answer is no. Jesus did it, and Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is “the substance of things hoped for.” Thanking God ahead of time is an act of confidence in His unchanging character—His love, mercy, grace, goodness, power and provision—not a denial of reality.

*Modern illustration*

Think of a commuter stuck in traffic who whispers, “Thank you, Lord, for a clear road ahead.” He does not magically move the cars, but his gratitude releases anxiety, opens his mind to alternative routes, and positions him to receive God’s provision—whether it be a smoother drive later or peace in the midst of the jam.

*Concrete response*

1. Write a “Thank‑You Note to God” for one unanswered request. Place it on your altar or in a prayer journal and revisit it after a week.

2. Share one “thank‑you” testimony with a friend before the week ends, reminding each other that God works even before we see the result.

*Be intentional and committed to these practices, for they are the outworking of a heart that has tasted God’s love and mercy.*

_Thanksgiving of faith is a three‑fold journey:_
*Believe* in God’s promise,
*Speak* that promise into your situation, and *Thank* God now for the answer—always conscious of His love, mercy, grace, goodness, power, and provision.
_When we live this pattern, the “fig trees” of our lives will wither, the “mountains” will move, the “loaves” will multiply and the dead will be resurrected —because we have already celebrated the victory in the One who is faithful._

"TAKE A STAND" - Dr. Asenso

You stood beside them—will they stand beside you?
You rose for them, you fought for them, yet will they return the favor?

The sting of betrayal cuts deep when you give your all, only to be left alone.
But do not let their actions turn your kindness to bitterness.
Keep your “salt” (Matt 5:13) pure, yet walk in wisdom, discerning when to engage and when to step back.

Be strong, be discerning, and let your stand be guided by truth, not by the fickle loyalty of others.

THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH ME MY DEAR WIFE Vida Ewura Ama Asenso MY LOVELY FAMILY, CHURCH, FRIENDS & LOVED ONES. I'M SO GRATEFUL.

”UNLOCKING THE POWER AND OTHER ASPECTS OF PRAYER: Declaring the Decrees of the Lord and Prophesying His Word”

*Speak the Word, Prophesy, and Declare the Decrees of the Lord*

In today's message, we'll explore the art of prayer, focusing on declaring the Almighty God's decrees and prophesying His Word. By understanding and applying these biblical principles, you'll unlock the power of prayer and experience breakthroughs in your life.

*The Power of Prayer*

*Prayer is not just about talking to the Almighty God; it's about presenting our case to Him, backed by His Word and promises*. (Isaiah 1:18-19, 43:25-26; Ps 89:34-39)

When we pray, we need to know His decrees and promises, and call upon Him to honor them.

*Understanding Decrees, Declarations, and Prophesying*

A *decree* is a legally binding judgment or formal order issued by a higher authority, such as the Almighty God. (Psalm 2:7) In Scripture, we see God's decrees that are binding throughout the universe. As believers, we can tap into these decrees and declare them in faith.

A *declaration* is a public, formal, and authoritative announcement or statement. (Psalm 2:1-2, 149:6-9; Acts 4:24-31) When we declare the Almighty God's Word, we are speaking with authority, backed by His power.

*Prophesying* involves speaking on the Almighty God's behalf, declaring His words, and communicating His message to others. (1 Corinthians 14:1-3, Acts 19:6, Joel 2:28-29) As believers, we are called to prophesy and declare the Almighty God's Word, edifying and encouraging one another.

*Why Declare the Almighty God's Decrees and Prophesy His Word?*

1. *Demonstrates faith and trust in the Almighty God's sovereignty*: When we declare the Almighty God's decrees and prophesy His Word, we demonstrate our faith in His ability to fulfill His promises. (Psalm 2:7, 149:6-9)
2. *Activates the Almighty God's power and authority*: Declaring the Almighty God's Word and decrees activates His power and authority in our lives, bringing about breakthroughs and victories. (Acts 4:24-31)
3. *Edifies and encourages others*: Prophesying and declaring the Almighty God's Word edifies and encourages others, building them up in their faith. (1 Corinthians 14:1-3)
4. *Calls upon the Almighty God to honor His Word and promises*: When we declare the Almighty God's decrees and prophesy His Word, we call upon Him to honor His promises and fulfill His Word in our lives. (Isaiah 1:18-19, 43:25-26)

*How to Declare the Almighty God's Decrees and Prophesy His Word*

1. *Study Scripture*: Study the Almighty God's Word to know His decrees and promises. (Psalm 119:105)
2. *Meditate on the Almighty God's Word*: Meditate on the Almighty God's Word, allowing it to dwell richly in your heart and mind. (Psalm 1:2-3)
3. *Speak with faith and authority*: Declare the Almighty God's Word with faith and authority, knowing that His Word is powerful and effective. (Hebrews 11:1, Romans 10:8-10)
4. *In Jesus' name, Amen!*

*Biblical Examples*

The Bible provides numerous examples of individuals who declared God's decrees and promises in prayer. Let's look at a few examples:

- *Abraham*: Abraham prayed for S***m and Gomorrah, appealing to the Almighty God's promise and character. (Genesis 18:20-33)
- *Moses*: Moses interceded for Israel, citing the Almighty God's decrees and promises. (Exodus 32:9-14, Numbers 14:13-19)
- *David*: David declared the Almighty God's decrees and promises, and appealed to Him based on His character. (Psalm 2, 89, 119)
- *Joshua*: Joshua declared the Almighty God's decrees and promises, and God gave them victory. (Joshua 1:1-9, 10:12-14)
- *Elijah*: Elijah declared the Almighty God's Word and decrees, and God answered by fire. (1 Kings 18:20-39)

As the month of October comes to an end, and the year 2025 is closing in, learn the art of declaring the decrees of the Lord into the rest of the days, to end the year and prophesy into it in Jesus' name. By declaring the Almighty God's Word and decrees, you'll tap into the power of prayer and experience breakthroughs in your life. Speak life, declare the Almighty God's Word, and prophesy His promises. In Jesus' name, Amen!

EVEN AMID OUR MOURNING, WE FELT DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT FROM SOME WHOM OUR FATHER LOVED, CARED FOR, AND SUPPORTED WHILE HE WAS ALIVE —PEOPLE WE HAVE PERSONALLY LOVED AND HELPED IN VARIOUS WAYS.

We are overjoyed that you stood with us, prayed for us, and gave so generously.

"WHO IS JESUS TO YOU: Revelations of His Identity"

Jesus once asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They shared various opinions, but Jesus pressed for a personal revelation: "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter's response was profound: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus praised Peter, saying, "Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in heaven" (Mat.16:16-17).

*The Foundation of the Church*

Jesus built his Church on the revelation of his true identity as the Anointed One, the Son of God. This revelation is the foundation of the triumphant Church, empowered to possess the gates of Hades. It's not about Peter, but about Jesus and his authority.

*A Personal Revelation*

The same question echoes today: "Who do people say Jesus is, and who do you say He is?" In a world filled with opinions, it's crucial to have a personal encounter with Jesus, revealed by the Father in heaven. This knowledge and faith empower us to experience God's blessings, power, and glory.

*The Power of Revelation*

When you grasp who Jesus is, you'll:

- Understand your identity and purpose
- Unlock the power of prayer and intercession
- Experience breakthroughs and miracles
- Live a life of faith and confidence

*Examples of Faith*

The woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25-34), Jairus (Mark 5:22-43), and Blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52) all had a revelation of Jesus' identity and capabilities, which sparked their faith and led to miracles. They didn't let opinions or doubts hold them back.

*Jesus is the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever*

The Bible declares, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is still the miracle-working, healing, and delivering God. Through the Ministry of the Holy Spirit, Jesus is doing good, healing the sick, and delivering those oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). He is still the same powerful Savior who walked the earth, and His power has not diminished.

*Pursue a Deeper Revelation*

Don't rely on others; seek a personal revelation from the Father. Pray for divine insight, and grow in faith to experience mighty acts and do exploits in Jesus' name. As you seek Him, you'll discover:

- His love and compassion
- His power and authority
- His wisdom and guidance

*Walk-Word*
Take a moment to reflect: Who is Jesus to you? Is He a distant figure or a living Lord? Ask the Father to reveal Jesus to you in a deeper way. Seek Him with an open heart, and watch your life transform.

*Prayer*

May the remaining days of 2025 be much fruitful, prosperous, and dream-fulfilling for you, as you seek a deeper revelation of Jesus Christ. May His Spirit guide and empower you to live a life that honors Him.
