Wind is a spiritual &
supernatural
Phenomenon; in this case, it
is right to say that the wind is an instrument of the spirit. You feel it but
you can’t see it. 
A rushing mighty wind is a
promise of God which he fulfilled by giving the holy spirit to us, this is his
mighty rushing wind which he gives to us.(acts 2vs 1)
The wind can act as a form
of life, destruction, or freedom, this is o say that there are different kinds
of wind but the wind of God comes in form of a rushing mighty wind.(genesis 8vs
1)
The rushing mighty win of
God comes with hope, faith and blessings. this is to say that the rushing
mighty wind of God cannot propel into our lives without liberating you and
bestowing you with this hope, faith and freedom.
When you experience the
rushing mighty wind in your life, your life is renewed, you are arisen because
the wind will give you a new breath of
life (Ezekiel 37 vs 11)
When you have the rushing
mighty wind and the
spirit will come upon you (john 3 vs 8)
spirit will come upon you (john 3 vs 8)
There is a spiritual effect
for everything that takes place in your life, b e it physical or spiritual.
There is a positive wind and
there is a negative wind but the wind which is a rushing mighty wind of God is
a positive one because it is of his spirit,(the holy spirit) (Romans 18 vs16).
“The doctor asked Diana, what will
you like to say before you are being taken to the theatre, and she blessed God,
thanking him for a successful operation even when she was yet to be operated
upon .This astonished the surgeon and he went in for the operation which was
very successful. By Diana’s combination of faith and thanksgiving, the doctor
and people around wanted to know and serve this god who had done it for her”.
The topic “faith” is not new to us, but
we shall be viewing it from a different angle which involves thanksgiving.
Faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).it entails taking a
leap into darkness. This is because when you have faith on God, you may not know
where the answer or the dimension where your prayers will get answers from.
Thanksgiving then is a show of
appreciation to god for what he has done and what he is yet to do.
It is our responsibility as
Christians to always give thanks to god in the face of any or all
situation.(1thessalonia 5:15).
HOW THEN CAN WE COMBINE BOTH?
From the story of Diana, she had
faith that the operation was going to be successful, but further expressed more
by giving thanks to the father.
The exam timetable is out and there is
tension in the air, so many people are afraid because of inadequate
preparation, some people’s faith are shaking already, am i going to pass at
all? God ooo!!! I am in final year please oo!!
But I come to you with a charge and
that is to combine your faith with thanksgiving. I don’t know how many of us
that knows that thanksgiving is the highest form of expressing faith.
This is because we are rooted in
faith and thus, abound in thanksgiving(Colossians 2:7).tell yourself that the
lord has taken charge of the exams and school fees issues and give thanks to
him. Instead of shaking in fear about the situations around you, thank him for
answering your prayers even when he is yet to answer your prayers because
thanksgiving is towards the past and faith is to the future. When you thank him
for something even before the answer comes, you propel god to consider that
expectation as a past or a done deal.
Faith can be grown by thanksgiving
because the greater your thanksgiving, the greater your faith grows. For as
many of us children of god who desire the growth in fact, it can be achieved by
combining it with thanksgiving (2 Thessalonians 1:3).
