Mrs Adza-Awude who is a women’s leader in the Full Gospel Church International (EMC) said women, especially Christian women, would be at peace always if they showed gratitude to God in all endeavors.”
She said this at the EMC branch of Full Gospel Church International Women’s Fellowship (Virtues Ladies) annual conference on the theme “What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits towards me?’ at Koforidua.
She said the Bible was full of thanksgiving stories telling human to be appreciative of what they had and what God had placed in them.
She said contentment and gratefulness had always been part of the Lord’s teachings but sometimes we do not “look at the bright side of life.”
Mrs Adza-Awude said “women are always blinded with negative things rather than what we have. We are always complaining and comparing our lives, it could be true that things are not happening as it should but if we look hard enough, we all have something for which we can be thankful”.
According to her, “nothing flatters a father most than when a child calls him for help or makes him the first retreat not the last resort.”
“God does not need anything but has given all to man. Take what He has given and allow it to accomplish its intended purpose,” she said.
She explained how they could render thanks to God and said they should call upon His name not in distress alone but in all times and He would answer them.
“Pay your vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people and let us boldly go out there and let the world know that our successes come from the Lord, she said and advised them not to find it difficult to show their dependence on God because a true thanksgiving was ‘an act of humility.’
