“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praises shall continually be in my mouth” – Psalm 34 vs 1.
“And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, which were come against Judah and they were smitten” – 2 Chronicles 20 vs 22
The world does not want you to thank God because they know that when you thank God and Praise God, your God will do more for you. I pray, your heart and your mouth will give thanks and praise God. Do you know that your enemies are sad when you praise God? This is because they know there is power in praises. In Joshua 6 vs 20, the wall of Jericho fell when the people of God shouted and praised God. Today, by the power of God, every wall of Jericho in your life will scatter, in the name of Jesus.
As you read this message, I want you to think deep. That road that you passed many times this year, is the same road that some people passed and they were attacked by robbers. I want you to be a deep thinker. It is not by your power that you are alive today. It is by the grace and mercy of God. I want you to be a deep thinker today. Do not think that everybody around you wants you to be happy. There are many people doing things against you because they want you to be sad. But God has not allowed all these to have effect on you. You need to appreciate God with praises. There is power in praises.
When praises go up, blessings come down. Today, receive the blessings that praises bring. You have many reasons to praise God. There are people in hospitals who are paying money for the oxygen gas that they are breathing. But you can enjoy the same air of God, free of charge. Somebody thought that God has not done enough for him to warrant praising God. Yet, he has a car that somebody wishes to be given for him to jump up in jubilation unto God. Are you saying that you cannot praise God because you have no money to buy that new clothes you desire, when there are people on the hospital bed, who are willing to give off those clothes if only they can be healed of their infirmities? Beloved, let us praise God. You need to praise God, for His mercies, goodness, and love to you.
All of us need to praise. God, all the time. I pray for you, celebration will never end in your life, in the name of Jesus. Your mouth will not be closed to praises in the name of Jesus. Sound of praises will not cease in your life in the name of Jesus. By the power of God, as you read this message, you will praise God and experience the power of praises, in the name of Jesus.
What is Praises?
Praises are words and songs of appreciation from a grateful heart. Praises are adorations made to God or somebody or people who has done you good. Praises are an acknowledgment of the help that your life has received from God. Praises are songs, words, and praises made in jubilation from your mouth and heart because you appreciate the great things that God has done in your life. When God blessed Hannah with a child, she praised God (I Samuel 2). When God disgraced Pharaoh at the Red Sea, Moses and the children of Israel sand unto the Lord, saying, “ I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumph gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea (Exodus 15 vs 1). When Leah conceived and bore a son, she said, “Now will I praise the Lord” and she called his name, Judah (Genesis 29 vs 35). The name ‘Judah’ means “Praise”. In 2 Samuel 22 vs 4, David said “ I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies. David knew that the more he praised God, the more the enemies cannot conquer him. He understood what happens when people praise God.
What happen When You Praise God?
There are many things that happen when children of God praise God. Praises attract God into your life and matter. When you praise God, Praises communicate your love and appreciation to God. Try praises and you will see that praises can attract to you heavenly assistance to fight your battles. Closed doors can be opened through praises. Praises here on earth can instigate praise in the heavenlies on your behalf.
The Challenge of Praises
Anybody can praise God, when they deliver a new baby, or when you are given a new car. You can praise God, when you get a new job or receive a promotion. I am not sure that many people know that if they can praise God when they are yet to have a new child, or when they have no car, or no job or promotion, their praises can open the doors of new baby, new car, new job and promotion to their lives,
