Daily Fresh From God
Topic: Power of praise (Sunday Special)
Acts 16:25-26 KJV
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. [26] And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
From observation through the scriptures, praise is so powerful, it doubles the effects of prayer.
Thanksgiving is done when we've received, but praise has nothing to do with receiving, it's what we do as an acknowledgement of God's greatness and goodness.
God sends His angels to bring answers to prayers, but He descends to take His own praises Himself.
"Acts 12:5,7 KJV
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. [7] And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him , and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands."
On the other hand, when praises goes up God descends.
"Psalm 22:3 KJV
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel."
"Psalm 65:1 KJV
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed."
Praises is key to reaching God at all time.
The praises of the imprisoned Apostles reached into heavens and brought down God's presence into the prison. The prison couldn't hold the Lord, it broke apart by an earthquake.
Learn how to praise and start getting result like never before.
Who is qualified to praise God?
"Psalm 50:5 KJV
Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
As you go to church today engage in a quality praise session to God and watch your problems roll away.
Prayers: Lord Jesus, teach me how to praise you genuinely in every situation in Jesus name.
