WHEN YOU PRAISE HIM, HE RAISES YOU

PSALM 149:1-9
Praise is God’s favourite delicacy and anytime you give him praise you are in for a Raise. God lives inside praise so if you will attract the intervention of’ God, praise must never depart from your mouth. If God lives in praise, it therefore means that He “dies” in murmuring and complaining. The only environment that makes God powerless is the environment of complaints. Are you not
the one delaying your miracle? You have complained and murmured over the years not knowing you are rendering Cloud powerless. If you will start to give God praise, you will start to experience a raise in every area of your life.

1. God’s power: Exodus 15: 11: God’s power is manifest when praise is activated. In this life you cannot live without power. Life is a battle. Only the powerful can overcome. Exodus 15: 11 says, “ God is fearful in praises, doing wonders.” If you want
God to display His power in your life, you must begin to praise Him.

2. God’s blessing: Psalm 67:5-7: The best and most secure way to break the curses over your life or family is to give God ceaseless praise. Praise is like a fertilizer that gives you a better and faster yield. Whichever area you desire increase, praise is the Key. No matter how hard your field is, praise is
the softener.

3. God’s wonders: Joshua 6:13-20. Great wonders are wrought through praise. How do you explain the conquest of Jericho? It is simply God’s wonders. Praise commits God to act on behalf’ of’ the praise giver.

4. God’s presence: Psalm 22:3 tells us that God dwells in the praise of His people. To attract God’s presence, you must give Him praise. In His presence is fullness of joy and pleasance for evermore (Psalm 16:11).

5. God’s glory: 2 Chronicles 15:13-14. Praise is what attracts the cloud of God’s glory. Do you still remember the experience of the children of Israel in the wilderness? During the day the pillar of cloud was there to direct and protect them. To bring this
same cloud down over your life, you must give God praise. And when the cloud is full, it will bring forth the rain of God’s blessing. What makes the cloud full is your praise. Is your cloud full? The rain is not falling because the cloud is not yet full.
Increase your lifestyle of praise and you will begin to experience the rain of glory.

6. God’s backing: The account in 2 Chronicles 20:20 is still a mystery. How on earth could you go to battle against five fearful nations with instruments of praise? Confronting ammunitions with trumpets
and Cymbals? This is imbalance. God is the only one that can do this. You better humble yourself and develop a heart of continual praise before the devil humbles you with irreversible calamity. Invisible battles are won in the atmosphere of
praises.

7. God’s deliverance: Acts 16:25. What praise does is to deliver you from trouble and in trouble. What do you do in the midnight hour of your destiny?
There’s no prison door that God cannot open. Were there no prisoners there before Paul and Silas came in? Their p rison doors remained locked because their mouth was also locked. Loo se your mouth in praise and your prison doors will be opened.

Everywhere God finds praise, He comes down. Why not begin to live a life of praise! Appreciate every little thing that God does in your life; sing hymns and psalms to Him. When faith, prayer and miracles fail, praise never fails. It is eternal. Even when we get to heaven,
