THE PROFIT OF PRAISE

Thursday, 11th April 2024

By Pst Israel Olorunfemi

TEXT: “Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” (Exo 15:11)

There are profits in praising God. The meaning is that you can’t praise God and have nothing to show for it – I and my family are living testimonies of this. When we genuinely praise God, He floods our life with supernatural blessings. However, your praise must be from the heart for it to deliver the desired testimonies. Today, I will like to examine just one profit of praise. That is, what you and I stand to enjoy as we engage a hearty praise to God this month and beyond.

  • DIVINE PRESENCE
    “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel” (Ps 22:3). There is a force that connects you to the Presence of God faster and that force is praise. The reason is because God dwells in praise. The most important thing that can happen to a man is that he carries the tangible, feelable and palpable Presence of God on his life. With the Presence of God in your life beloved, you’re sure of victory. The Bible says: “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom 8:31). If God’s Presence is on your life, no power of darkness can successfully withstand you.

Yes, no obstacle can withstand a man that carries God’s Presence because no obstacle can withstand God. Without God’s tangible, feelable and palpable Presence in your life, you’re nothing and the devil can still take you as a ride. Jesus said: “….for without me, you can do nothing” (John 15:5). This means that if you are not a carrier of God’s tangible Presence, Satan sees you as nobody to fear. But I pray for you today, by the Presence of God, you will end great in Jesus name – Amen! The secret is praise. When you praise God genuinely from the heart, you will secure His Presence 24/7 and your life will be surrounded with blessings.

We have an account of David the king who never lost any battle. Why? He was a man of praise and he secured the Presence of God that ensured his victory in battle. He said: “Seven times a day do I praise thee…” (Ps 119:164). Do you want to secure God’s Presence for all round blessing in your life? Praise is the secret.

PRAYER: I make demand for the Presence of God to go with you as you go out today culminating in ear-twinkling testimony in Jesus name!

TODAY’S TASK:
Give God at least 30mins uninterrupted joyful praise today! Choose a time that will be convenient for you. Wonders shall be your new experience this month, in Jesus name.

DAILY CONFESSION:
This year 2024, I am advancing in adversity because I’ve been redeemed to flourish in hard times therefore my life shall be full of wonders. Amen and amen.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: “No obstacle can withstand a man that carries God’s Presence.”
