📖 Isaiah 43 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ⁷ Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. … ²¹ This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. The highest purpose of God for creating man on earth is to praise and worship Him. Have you ever asked yourself, 'Why was I created?' 'What's my purpose on earth?' Well, your major assignment on earth is to praise God. Every other thing is secondary. 📖 Psalms 50 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹⁰ For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. ¹¹ I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. ¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. ¹³ Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? ¹⁴ Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: ¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. In other words, what God is saying here is that our praises to Him is like food and water to us. When we effectively praise God, He deals with us favourably/preferentially; He distinguishes us from crowds of people with special blessings and miracles. God earnestly desires our worship, not because He is narcissistic or a dictator, but because He is worthy of it. 📖 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. — Psalms 18:3 If there's anyone that deserves praise, it's the Almighty God because He created everything, living and non_living for His pleasure. 📖Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. — Revelation 4:11 Praise is the highest form of prayer because God personally inhabits it, He takes immense pleasure in it, even more more than animal burnt offerings: 📖 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. — Psalms 22:3 📖 Psalms 69 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ³⁰ I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. ³¹ This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. There's absolutely nothing God cannot give us when we learn how to praise Him persistently alongside with faith. The devil knew this secretly about God and tempted Jesus with earthly glory in exchange of His worship! (Matthew 4:8_9) Previously before his fall, the devil was a highly Anointed archangel ministering and leading praise and worship to God with inbuilt musical instruments 🎻🪕🎷🎹. (Ezekiel 28:11_15) As a result of his position, he was highly favoured and loved by God, but lost everything out of pride! No other angel stood close to Him in Anointing, beauty and glory! That was why he was able to convince 30% of the angels to rebel with Him! That's why today the devil diverts praise, worship and love to God to himself with mostly sinful secular music (with lewd lyrics) and sexual immorality. 👉The biggest secret I have learned about praise is that God moves quickly on your desires and expectations when you praise continually than when you request continually. It's not automatic though, but when you delight in Him through worship, He also delights in you by giving you your heart's desires like He did to Solomon: 📖 1 Kings 3 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ⁴ And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. ⁵ In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

judewrites:God did not create man because He is in need of praise singers. You create a picture of a very insecure God. God has a much higher purpose for man. We are not here because of God's craving for praise. |

tctrills:Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. — Psalms 100:4 Luke 2 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹³ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, ¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Heaven is full of praise because God is worthy of praise. That's how he also wants it on earth, He wants the earth to be full of His praises. Like I mentioned, God's primary reason for creating man is to praise Him, other reasons are secondary. |

judewrites:Does God want us to praise Him? Yes Is praising Him our primary purpose? Capital no. That's why the bible never said that we will be Judged by how well we praise Him. His promises goes to them that overcome not to them that praise Him. |

judewrites:Let me share a secret with you even though I know you wouldn't believe it. You will not be judged by how many praises you sang on earth rather, you will be judged on how you overcame sin and the temptations of this world. |

tctrills:Our destinies differ, some are born engineers, doctors, tailors, musicians, etc.. But you see our collective destiny is to praise God. Just as a fish can't survive outside water, we all need God's manifested presence through praise to survive this wicked world. |

tctrills:Believe it or not, in God's scale of preference, praise comes first before any other thing. That's why when we go with requests to God, we first praise Him and make our requests. However, that doesn't mean we live a life of sin. Sin can disqualify any one, no matter how much you sing to God. |

judewrites:Sir just read your bible to know how God will judge and reward us. He says, to him that overcome will I make to sit on My throne. Not to the praise singers. It says he that is born of water and the spirit will enter the kingdom not the praise singers. Please show one verse that ties praise singing to salvation. |

judewrites:Your second paragraph is false on face value. Many do not even believe in God neither do they praise Him to survive. |

tctrills:Why don't you understand what I've been trying to say all this while? Anyways, it's well. |
