TEXT: “And at midnight Paul and Silas Prayed, and Sang Praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake…” (Acts 16:25-26)
Genuine praise to God has the power to move the Hand of God for sudden intervention in moments of trials and difficulties. God’s General, Bishop David Oyedepo says: “There is no obstacle that praise cannot tackle! There is no obstacle that will not bow at the instance of praise. You know why? God is in praise.” The Bible says: “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel” (Ps 22:3). Hear me child of God, there is no obstacle or situation in life that will not bow at the Presence of God (Psalms 114). When praise shows up, God shows up!
If your mountain or problem is not bigger than God, then praise can handle it. Many are eager and quick to pray when they are in difficult situation, don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with prayer. Prayer has its place and praise has its place. Prayer delivers your solution gradually but praise delivers it suddenly. Hallelujah!
God dwells in our praise. Praise attracts and moves Him anytime and anywhere. Praise creates a joyful and conducive environment for God to operate. When you are joyful, you will be sensitive enough to pick the wisdom words from God for victory over the challenges at hand. Praise takes your mind off the problems and focuses it on God the Solution. Praise recounts God’s power, greatness and ability. God’s name is exalted when we praise Him. This gladdens Him and provokes His intervention.
Earth-shaking praise provokes earth-shaking interventions of God. The city was moved into praising Jesus and Jesus removed all forms and manner of sickness and disease from them. Their earth-shaking praise released all the earth-shaking anointing in Jesus to heal them (Read Matt 21:10-14)!
Today, I want you to take some time to praise God for what He’s about to do concerning that situation in your life.
PRAYER: Your praise shall raise you above all afflictions of the devil today and always, in the name of Jesus Christ!
DAILY CONFESSION: This year 2023, I am finally on a Covenant Highway, Jesus is giving me Answers and I am enjoying Rest Round About – Amen and Amen!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: “Prayer delivers your solution gradually but praise delivers it suddenly.”
