Thanksgiving part 2
from Apostle Sydney Quaye · host Apostle Sydney Quaye
Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church. In “Thanksgiving – Part 2,” Apostle Sydney Quaye shows that thanksgiving is not a year-end ritual but the believer’s daily lifestyle and God’s will. From Ephesians 5:20 and Colossians 1, he explains that thanksgiving is God’s answer to worry, fear, and life’s uncertainties. We don’t thank God for bad situations, but in all things, because He has already given redemption, forgiveness, qualification, and victory in Christ. With this mindset, believers learn to wake up grateful, face challenges confidently, and declare “He always causes us to triumph,” making thanksgiving their first response — not an occasional reaction. Apostle Sydney also brings thanksgiving into practical relationships — thanking God continually and thanking people intentionally — spouses, parents, children, friends, and helpers. Gratitude matures the heart, preserves joy, and keeps believers from entitlement and frustration. The message closes with Ephesians 1: God’s plan for us is a praising and glorious life, meaning the year ahead will end in praise and glory, no matter what comes. Thanksgiving is not seasonal — it’s how people who already have the victory live.
