TOPIC: WHEN PRAISE ASCENDS
Read Psalm 149:1-9
_[1]Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.[2]Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.[3]Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.[4]For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.[5]Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.[6]Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;[7]To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;[8]To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;[9]To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD._
MEMORISE: Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand (Psalms 149:6)
EXPOSITION
Most times, facing our difficult and challenging, or better still, darkest times, makes us quickly forget the power of praise in prayer. All we concentrate on, these times is, prayer, and prayer, again!
There is no problem/difficulty that is insurmountable, through prayer, but at times, the Almighty wants us to fear Him. He deliberately delays answers which are desperately awaited, until we remember to exalt His holy name (Psa. 145:1-2).
Some people of God were praying fervently to deliver a demon-possessed lady. They were binding and casting, and did all they could, but the devils remained stubbornly unmoved! One of the ministers, who was obviously discerning, advised they resorted to praises, of which the rest consented. As they began to sing:
"Thou art worthy O Lord, to receive glory, honour and power..." The demons in their numbers began to plead that they were let go unhurt, but not one of them survived as the demon-infested lady vomited them all! Halleluiah, God omnipotent reigns forever! (Rev. 19:6).
When praises ascend to the One Who is worthy to take it, miracles, signs, wonders, victories, blessings, power, enablement, provisions, inspiration, empowerment... descend. You can have all these, right away, if you get 'lost' in His praise. Stay victorious, in Jesus' name.
PRAYER POINTS
1. I receive anointing to launch into unlimited praises to the One Who deserves it, in Jesus' name.
2. Give every home the grace, O God, to acknowledge that You are bigger than all situations.
3. Let Your Gospel thrive in this nation, and to the ends of the earth, O Lord, in Jesus' name.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Exodus 17 - 19 & Mark 5
