Try Praise by kpakpandoN(m): 6:26am On Nov 24, 2022 |
A pastor in The Redeemed Christian Church of God shared the testimony of a miracle God performed during a wedding in one of our parishes. Just as the bridegroom was about to sign the register, he heard someone call his name and as he answered, he fell and died. All the pastors in the vestry immediately gathered and began to pray for him, but the longer they prayed, the colder he became. The most senior pastor amongst them then remembered that I had taught them often to try praise whenever prayer seems to be failing. Within a short time of praising God, the bridegroom came back to life. The people of Judah had only started to praise God when He set an ambush against their enemies. The enemies that were coming to trouble King Jehoshaphat and his people were numerous in number, but the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 20:22: And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. The people of Judah had been praying, but nothing had happened. Now, instead of going against the enemy with physical weapons of war like swords, spears and shields, they came against them with the weapon of praise. If I stand before the gates of heaven and the angels refuse to open them to me (God forbid), I will start to praise God. I know that before I have called God all the beautiful names I know Him to have, He would tell one of His angels to open the gate for me. Praise opens doors that even prayer may not have been able to open. If you have been praying about something and you are yet to receive your request, try praise today. When you praise God, He will surely respond. Joshua and the army of Israel used praise to pull down the walls of Jericho in Joshua 6:20. If you have been praying for so long about a matter, try praise now and you would be surprised at the wonderful results God Almighty will give to you. Try praise. Written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye. |

kpakpandoN:Jesus Christ explicitly stated that He does not seek nor desire praise from any human being. He discouraged the praising of His person by humans. 40 But you refuse to come to me to have that life.The same Jesus Christ said that those who do what He commands are those who belong to Him. 13 The greatest love people can show is to die for their friends.So why then do you praise Jesus Christ, against His own decree, yet believe yourself to be of Him? |
