Thank God for Planting His Church in the World

Thanksgiving 4.30 | KJV

For the planting of the Christian religion in the world and the setting up of the gospel-church, in despite of all the opposition of the powers of darkness.

I thank thee that the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, and the gospel which was made known to all nations for the obedience of faith, Romans 16:25-26(KJV) was mighty through God to the pulling down of the strong-holds: 2 Corinthians 10:4(KJV) That the Lord wrought with it and confirmed the word by signs following, Mark 16:20(KJV) so that Satan fell as lightning from heaven. Luke 10:18(KJV)

That though the gospel was preached in much contention, 1 Thessalonians 2:2(KJV) yet it grew and prevailed mightily, Acts 19:20(KJV) and multitudes turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven. 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10(KJV)

Now came salvation and strength and the kingdom of God and the power of his Christ: Revelation 12:10(KJV) And the exalted Redeemer rode forth with his bow and with his crown, conquering and to conquer, Revelation 6:2(KJV) and nations were born at once. Isaiah 66:8(KJV)

Thank God for the Ministry and Other Ordinances

Thanksgiving 4.29 | KJV

For the institution of ordinances, and particularly that of the ministry.

I thank thee that thou hast not only shewed thy word unto Jacob, but thy statutes and judgments unto Israel, unto your people: Thou hast not dealt so with other nations; and as for thy judgments, they have not known them. Psalm 147:19-20(KJV)

That the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them; Revelation 21:3(KJV) and that he hath set his sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore, Ezekiel 37:26(KJV) and there will meet with the children of Israel. Exodus 29:43(KJV)

I thank thee that thou hast made known unto your people thy holy sabbaths, Nehemiah 9:14(KJV) and that still there remains the keeping of a sabbath to the people of God. Hebrews 4:9(KJV)

And that when the Lord Jesus ascended up on high he gave gifts unto men, Ephesians 4:8(KJV) not only prophets, apostles, and evangelists, but pastors and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till all the people of God come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; Ephesians 4:11-13(KJV) and that while they teach your people to observe all things which Christ hath commanded, he hath promised to be with them always, even unto the end of the world. Matthew 28:20(KJV)

Thank God for the Scriptures

Thanksgiving 4.28 | KJV

For the writing of the Scriptures and the preserving of them pure and entire to this day.

I thank thee that I have the Scriptures to search, and that in them I have eternal life, and that they testify of Christ; John 5:39(KJV) and that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16(KJV)

That whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for my learning, that I through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope; Romans 15:4(KJV) and that I have this most sure word of prophecy, as a light shining in a dark place. 2 Peter 1:19(KJV)

That the vision is not become to me as the words of a book that is sealed, Isaiah 29:11(KJV) but that I hear in my own tongue the wonderful works of God. Acts 2:11(KJV)

I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that the things which were hid from the wise and prudent, and which many prophets and kings desired to see, and might not, 1 Peter 1:10(KJV) are revealed to us babes: even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight. Luke 10:21(KJV)
