Do we thank God, if we get a job promotion and our material possessions increase? Is this a blessing from God?

All praises should go to God. I thank Him for saving my soul. He is the one who supplies my needs, and watches over me. I thank Him for my food, my health, my Family, my home and for everything. Each day is a Blessing from God.

No. If that were the case we could say all Ethiopians are cursed.
According to the Christians on here that is not the case and in fact God loves them more.
Going by this your promotion is the work of the devil.
Remember "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle"?

Everything comes from God, and so everything is a blessing.
Even challenges and difficult times can come from God too. We need to thank Him everyday for what we have. Imagine a world without God, how hopeless that would be!

No, I get things all the time that help me along and I am a witch. Thus meaning that god does not help people, and it says in the bible that he gave us free will for a reason. So anything that happens here is because someone decided it or it happened naturally.

Thank God for EVERYTHING you receive--earthly and otherwise. He is the reason you got it. Thank Him in the morning, thank Him in the evening, thank Him all the time.

Yes. The Bibe says we are to be thankful all of the time, for everything God gives us.

Absolutely! To quote the song from Godspell,
"All good things around us -- are sent from Heaven above!
So thank the Lord, thank the Lord -- for all His Love!"

That's fine I think, asking him for material possessions is nonsense though.
