Praise Power

-



Isaiah 43:21 KJV

[21] This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.


Showing forth the praise of God is what God requires of us irrespective of what we are faced with. This is because praise is a powerful weapon that commands the supernatural. God is always on duty when genuine praise emanates from us. It is easy to praise God when everything is fine. However when we are faced with challenges, we may find it difficult to praise God but that is when praise should break forth from us. Praise in the face of storm is not acknowledging the storm but the One who is able to calm the storm. 


Paul and Silas were accused falsely and beaten unjustly, chained and locked up in the prison. Common sense demands that they feel bad and depressed, but they knew better so they chose to call the attention of the God who is able to do all things. At midnight, when they should be sleeping, Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God. Acts 16:26 KJV

[26] And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. It wasn’t only their door that was opened, all the doors of the prison. As we praise God  in the face of adversity, suddenly a miracle will happen that will be a blessing to us and others. 


Don’t look at the mountain before you. Get into a depth of praise that will provoke the presence of God. 


Praise is an act of faith that is able to deliver. It takes faith to respond to our challenging circumstances with praise. Three nations came against Jehoshaphat to battle, fear gripped him. He couldn’t handle them so he went to God and appointed singers. As they began to sing and praise, a miracle happened. God fought for them and gave them victory. 


Praise reminds you, your circumstance, the devil and God who is in charge. Praise through that challenge. Give God and authentic and undiluted praise for what He has done, what He is doing and what He will do. 


Shalom

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

-
I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv
