TOPIC: 6 Ways of Appreciating God  Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Psalm 92:1–5 Psalm 116:12 Luke 17:17–18 KEY THOUGHTS Thanksgiving is the believer’s response to God’s goodness. Appreciation is recognizing the full worth of God and valuing what He has done. Ingratitude blocks blessings; thanksgiving multiplies them. 6 WAYS TO APPRECIATE GOD 1. Thanksgiving Prayers Speak appreciative words to God. Thank Him intentionally and personally. Don’t assume gratitude — express it in prayer. 2. Share Your Testimonies 📖 Luke 17:17–18 — “Where are the other nine?” Be someone who returns to tell what God has done. Thank Him one by one for every blessing. Testimony is an act of appreciation. 3. Using Songs and Psalms Worship and praise songs express gratitude. Sing of His goodness, mercy, and faithfulness. Psalms are tools for thanksgiving. 4. With a Dance Dance is a prophetic act of joy and gratitude. Thanksgiving is not silent — it is expressive. 5. With Instruments Musical instruments are tools of thanksgiving. They celebrate God’s greatness and goodness. 6. With a Thanksgiving Offering Giving is a strong expression of appreciation. Offerings communicate value and honour to God. Thanksgiving is incomplete without giving. CONCLUSION Thanksgiving is not just a day — it is a lifestyle. When believers pray thankfully, testify, sing, dance, play instruments, and give, they honor God and attract greater blessings. Those who appreciate well experience perfection and increase.
