Pastor Chris on the Word of the Month: Thanksgiving
A month to look back, give thanks, and recognize God’s hand in our lives
The Word of the Month is one of the most anticipated moments in the LoveWorld Nation. Through it, the Spirit of God gives direction, focus, and spiritual clarity to millions around the world. During the Global Communion Service, Pastor Chris announced that this new month is the Month of Thanksgiving. It is a time set apart to reflect, to look back over the year, and to acknowledge the goodness of God.
This announcement came during a powerful service filled with worship, prophetic words, and deep spiritual insight. As the studio and choir echoed the message of Thanksgiving, the meaning of the month became immediately clear. It is a call to remember, a call to appreciate, and a call to give glory to God.
Pastor Chris Explains the Call to Thanksgiving
In his teaching, Pastor Chris reminded the global congregation that this is the moment to look at the entire year and recognize everything God has done. There is always something to thank God for. There is always a reason to lift our voices in gratitude.
Thanksgiving, as he explained, is not just a spiritual response. It is a position of understanding. When a Christian practices true thanksgiving, he acknowledges that nothing in his life is accidental. Every blessing, every increase, every open door came through God’s grace and favour.
Pastor Chris encouraged believers to reflect on the past months and identify the many moments God intervened. He reminded everyone that thanksgiving sharpens spiritual vision. It helps believers see the hand of God even in the ordinary things of life.
Pastor Chris on Purpose and the Meaning of Life
The Communion Service also carried a strong message about purpose. Early in the day, during the Thanksgiving Service, Pastor Benny Hinn shared a simple but profound truth: “The purpose of life is knowing Jesus Christ.”
This statement resonated deeply with Pastor Chris, who expanded on it during the evening session. He explained that when the noise of the world fades and when history is examined honestly, one truth remains. Everything in life eventually passes away except what is connected to Jesus Christ.
He pointed out that history is full of powerful names. Monarchs, kings, rulers, inventors, and builders who once shaped nations. They lived with influence. They commanded attention. They achieved remarkable things. But where are they now?
Kingdoms rose and fell. Empires expanded and crumbled. Great men and women made their mark, yet their voices are silent today. Even many of their works, some believed would last forever, have faded into history.
The message was clear: it is only what is connected to Christ that carries eternal value. And it is through thanksgiving that the believer stays aware of this truth.
Thanksgiving as a Spiritual Practice
Thanksgiving keeps the believer aligned with God’s purpose
Thanksgiving is not only about gratitude for blessings. As Pastor Chris taught, it is also a spiritual practice that shapes the heart. It keeps the Christian humble. It prevents pride. It opens the spirit to hear more from God.
A thankful heart is an aware heart. A thankful person sees God in every achievement and in every victory. Thanksgiving strengthens faith. It produces joy. It silences fear. And it positions the believer for even greater manifestations of the Spirit.
Pastor Chris encouraged the congregation to spend the month expressing gratitude in very practical ways. Giving thanks in prayer. Giving thanks in worship. Giving thanks for opportunities and partnerships in the Gospel. Giving thanks for the Word that has come throughout the year.
The Word of the Month as a Guide for Daily Living
Pastor Chris gives direction for a meaningful spiritual journey
The Word of the Month is not merely a declaration. It is a guide. It is spiritual instruction. It defines how the believer should think, respond, and walk throughout the weeks ahead.
For this month, the instruction is simple:
Give thanks.
Recognize God’s goodness.
Honor Him for every step He guided you through.
Thanksgiving turns attention away from the temporary things of life and directs it toward the eternal. It reminds Christians that everything that truly matters begins and ends with Jesus Christ.
Pastor Chris assured the congregation that this month will produce testimonies. Because thanksgiving opens the door to greater manifestations of grace. It attracts more of God’s power into the life of the one who practices it sincerely.
