Leviticus 22:29:
29 And when you slaughter a THANK-SGIVING OFFERING to the Lord, you shall slaughter it (with a willing and cheeful heart), so that it should be acceptable for you.
Remember that;
The biblical act of Giving thanks, is made up of TWO words;
1: THANKS 2 : GIVING
1: The 1st word is “THANKS” =
utterance and declaration in the form of spoken words of praise, exaltation, which expresses one’s proclamation of thanks, appreciation, gratitude, spoken in tongues, sang in melodies, recited out loud by reading certain scriptures, articles etc that defines one’s formular of sound waves.
2: The 2nd word is “GIVING” =
The word “Giving” stands for the practical act of giving an offering, which projects one’s attitude of appreciation, respect, trust, obedience, affection, – the state of having faith in the prophetic promises, and good plans of God,
which are declared into one’s life, coming from the spiritual leadership that contains one’s altar of OFFERING.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the THOUGHTS that Ithink toward you, says the Lord, THOUGHTS of PEACE and not of evil, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE.

By Faith, We Understand that:
11…Having Faith in God is the substance (offering, obedience practiced) as an offering given towards the things you are hoping for, via the prophetic revelation and promises of God,
that is the evidence (the reality) of those things that are in the Spiritual realm of God,
Which the physical eyes may not be able to see [yet], but when you give thanks to God concerning those things,
Then they will become a reality to your physical eyes, (because every thing derives from a seed) that is sown =
which goes into the ground and rots, dies, and after its death, its resurrected again as a new plant (that grows upwards, so that it may bear fruit) for the one who has sown it.
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
Mark 4:30-32
30 Then He said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it?
31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth;
32 but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”

2 a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.
3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?”
So he said to him, “Your prayers (suplications, declaration of thanks, praise etc),
and your alms (Your GIVING, and OFFERINGS) have come up for a memorial (rememberance) before God.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter.
6 He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do.”
