High Praises; High Places! by PastorDavidAwuj(m): 5:48am On Nov 01, 2018
High Praises; High Places!

When you are praisefull, you enjoy being raised.

God designed praise for your supernatural lifting, but how much light you have on it determines how much raise you enjoy by it.

No Christian will ever be at his best without an understanding of praise.

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.  Psalm 92:1,12 
 
"...He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon", that talks about you being outstanding. The cedar tree grows far above all other trees. 

In verse 14, God says you will not only be outstanding for a season, but you will also bring forth fruit in old age!

That means you will keep producing results, until when you leave this earth.

Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. Psalm 113:1,7–8 
 
When you praise the Lord, you become outstanding and remain resourceful.

As long as you stay committed to His praises, He too will be committed to raising you.

David was a praise giant and he reigned for forty colourful years as king. His enemies couldn't get him and all Israel loved and followed him. He was a praise–crazy king!

And David danced before the Lord with all his might...

And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel:

therefore will I play before the Lord. And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight:

and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. 2 Samuel 6:14,21–22

No wonder his life was summarized this way: 

Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead. 1 Chronicles 29:26–28 
 
He was praising God seven times a day (Psalm. 119:164), so God had no choice, but to lift him seven times a day!

His praise outweighed his prayers, which he did only three times a day (Psalm. 55:17).

No wonder he enjoyed very strange liftings from God.

In 1 Chronicles 29, what he gave for the building of the temple is estimated in present day value as 567 million dollars worth of gold!

This is apart from the building materials he also gave. God raised him and blessed him with so much wealth.

Let us praise this God from the depth of our hearts!

When you are praising God, you are exalting Him, and He will in turn exalt you; if you honour Him, He will honour you.

Until you give God His place, your place is not secured. That is why every praising saint is a rising and flourishing saint.

When you praise God, you cheer Him up to prove Himself again and again in your life.

It is just the same way the clapping of hands by fans at a football match get the players excited to do more valiantly.

You will grow higher as your praises rise higher and higher to Him.

It's a good thing to acknowledge God and give Him thanks for His good hand upon your life.

To take God for granted is to be grounded! Only those who praise Him enjoy His liftings.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat;

the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.  Habakkuk 3:17–19 
 
High praises are the highways of God to the high places of life.

Forget about what is not working, look on Him and exalt Him, then He will take you to your high places in life.

When you get into the realm of praise, heaven steps in in your favour.

When you praise Him in the morning, afternoon and night, He has no choice but to raise you

Understanding The Power Of Praise.

However to enjoy these benefits you MUST be born again...

A Sinner's Prayer for Salvation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, "...whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10.

"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." I do that now.

I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

I am now reborn! I am a Christian—a child of Almighty God! I am saved!

You also said in Your Word, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13).

I'm also asking You to fill me with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance (Acts 2:4).

(Begin to praise God for filling you with the Holy Spirit. Speak those words and syllables you receive—not in your own language, but the language given to you by the Holy Spirit. You have to use your own voice. God will not force you to speak.)

Now you are a Spirit-filled believer. Continue with the blessing God has given you and pray in tongues each day. You'll never be the same!

Please share❤
