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)
Today is MTD Hour of Mercy. It is an hour of God’s mercy towards us when we call on Him in faith. Today, we shall be engaging heart-rooted praise to God to drive home the balance of the blessing ordained for us this year.
Heart-rooted praise can provoke God’s intervention in moments of trials and difficulties. 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. The reason is because God is in praise (Ps 22:3). Hear me beloved MTDian, there is no situation in your life right now that will not bow at the Presence of God (Psalms 114). When praise shows up, God shows up!
If your problem is not bigger than God, then praise can handle it. Many are 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.
Earth-shaking praise has what it takes to provoke 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 all (Read Matt 21:10-14)!
ACTION STEP:
Today, I want you to go to God during MTD Hour of Mercy (12pm-1pm of your country’s time) and 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!
