In “Thanksgiving – Part 1,” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches that thanksgiving is not optional for the believer — it is a commanded response to who God is and what God gives. Thanksgiving begins with recognizing the Giver, then the gift, and finally what the gift produces in your life. Using worship in Israel’s battles as an example, he shows that praise and thanksgiving were not emotional moments, but weapons of preservation, causing God to cover, protect, and return His people home safely. When God is acknowledged as good, thanksgiving flows naturally — because His goodness is the foundation of every victory, every provision, and every new beginning.
Apostle Sydney reveals three cardinal gifts that deserve continual thanksgiving:
1️⃣ The Life of God — received at salvation, making the believer an overcomer and ensuring we turn out well, regardless of background.
2️⃣ The Holy Spirit — the Spirit of resurrection who quickens the body, fuels counsel, power, and wisdom, and transforms wilderness into fruitful fields.
3️⃣ The Gift of Righteousness — our unshakeable standing with God that empowers grace to work, silences condemnation, and ensures no weapon prospers.
This message calls believers to become thanksgiving addicts — waking up with gratitude, walking in gratitude, and ending every day with gratitude — because thanksgiving activates what God has already given and positions you to live boldly, confidently, and victoriously
