THANKFUL FOR THE PASSING YEAR

“Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and GIVE THANKS at the remembrance of His holy name” – Psalm 30:4

As we approach the New Year, it’s time to be THANKFUL for the PASSING YEAR: “Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and GIVE THANKS at the remembrance of His holy name” (Psa.30:4). There are numerous blessings, benefits, and even challenges to remember, and be thankful for in passing year. We must thank Him profusely, for protecting, providing for, and sustaining us in the past 12 months, 52 weeks, 366 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, and 31,536,000 seconds!

Kingdom Capstone Outreach Ministry (KCOM) is thankful to God for: ordaining 2024 as our Year of Divine Light and Life; releasing Nuggets of Light and Life from January; making February our Month of Light of Purpose and Vision, March our Month of the Light of Vision, April our Month of the Light of Hope and Help, May our Month of the Light of Knowledge, June our Month of the Light of Wisdom, July our Month of the Light of Understanding, August our Month of Light of the Prophetic, September our Month of the Light of Divine Secrets, October our Month of Light for Maximized Life, November our Month of Light for Healing and Health, and December, Month of Light for a Thankful Life.

We thank God for: blessing us with His Word, Spirit and Presence at the monthly Believers’ Enrichment Seminar Time (B.E.S.T.); His Grace to meditate, study, write, and share the Daily Devotional, Capstone Capsules since 1^st January 2015 – 10 glorious years; opportunities granted us to be a blessing in the passing year; provisions for and preservation of KCOM Ministers and participants in all our activities, engagements, and ministries throughout the year; souls saved, spirits revived, minds renewed, lives transformed, destinies rescued, healings and miracles wrought, blessings received, and ways in which the year is ending better for us than it started.

We thank God for:  lifting us up, not letting our foes rejoice over us (v.1); healing (v.2); keeping us alive (v.3); the Authority in His Holy name; and though weeping endured for some nights, our mornings of Joy have dawned (v.5). We thank the Lord for: His favour that has made our mountains to stand strong (v.7); answering our prayers and cries with Mercy and help (vv.8-10); turning for us, mourning into dancing, and clothing us with gladness to replace sackcloth; to the end that our glory may sing praise to Him. We’ll give thanks to Him forever (v.12).

Beloved, God gave us a gift of 86,400 seconds today. How many have we used to say ‘Thank You’? Saying ‘Thank You’ to God or men is more than good manners; it’s good spirituality! We can be thankful to God for everything in our lives: The ups were blessings; the downs, lessons. Up or down we’re never losers! When we thank God for what He has done for us, we’re made hopeful for what is to come.
