May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Topic: WHEN PRAISE IS BIRTHED FROM THE SPIRIT WITHIN
Acts 3:8-10 King James Version (KJV)
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
Beloved, one thing God loves and cherishes is praise. God cannot praise Himself so man has to praise Him.
There are things that gives birth to praise from within our spirit. Things that causes us to praise God in spirit and in truth.
When we praise God, He does more for us, what He has done for us is never taken away or destroyed by any foreign spirit or entity not of God.
When the cripple experienced the miracle, praise was birthed in him and out of his spirit this praise flowed.
Praising God is a means of testifying to the goodness of God, His power and authority over all things.
Praising God is also a means of evangelism. People hear your praise, they see the miracle and this causes them to seek the God you worship.
The people who would hear your testimony and praise, most of them know you, they knew when you were wallowing in your predicament or need and disregarded you.
After the miracle of God, the same people who disregarded you are now filled with wonder and amazement.
Beloved, your miracle shall surely happen because you are expectant of Jesus and when it happens it shall birth praise in your spirit. You will pour out this praise unto God in spirit and in truth.
When you pour out this praise, as you share your testimony, you get favour before God and He in turn gives you favour before men. Also God blessed you with the ever-increasing anointing and you prevail against the spirit of stagnation.
And as all these go on, your praise and testimony ministers to others. It becomes a tool of evangelism as well for the church to win more souls.
Hallelujah!!! *IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS* and no one else. When we make Jesus the reason our reason would be taken care of in His reason and His purpose shall be fulfilled to the glory of His holy name.
Prayer: Father, may the daily miracle you work in me and for me be as noticeable as the Beautiful gate miracle. So that as I praise you and testify to the goodness of your name, people would see the amazing and wonderful works of your hands and seek you. In the mighty name of Jesus have I prayed. Amen.
