A Life Of Praise

Good day fellow believers, today's post is going to be on a life that praises God.
"Praise is something we do when we don't know what to do" - Bishop David Abioye
The Bible recorded of Paul and Silas that after they prayed and it was like God wasn't answering, they began to sing and then a miracle happened. When we pray, angels come down to minister unto us (Heb. 1:14), just like the case of Daniel (in Daniel 10), but whenever we praise, God himself attends to our praises because as the psalmist recorded, 'God inhabits the praises of His people'. Angels can operate in an atmosphere of prayer but an atmosphere if praises is God's dwelling place.
So, safely we can say that a life that praises God is a life that carries God, and when we carry God on our inside, we experience great and mighty things.
One thing is that praises is not all about songs, though its a part of it, but praise is a thing of the heart, a heart that constantly worship God. Then you ask how do I do this; 2 Timothy 2:4 says  "No man that wars will entangle himself with the affairs of this life THAT he may please he that has chosen him to be a soldier". This verse make it clear to us that to please God, we must not act as other people. The book of Hebrews 11:1 tells us that we should look on to Jesus, he is our perfect example and the leading of the Spirit can NEVER lead to doom. So I'm just saying that the Pattern of this world should not become our own standard for living.
By living right, we please God; by pleasing Him, we praise Him; and by praising Him, He dwells in us.
GOD BLESS

    Heaven is God's throne and the earth is His foot stool, so whenever praises go up to God, He taps His feet and the earth quakes.

‘THE ESSENCE OF THE PARTY’

Hello friends, trust you are doing good. Already we are in the Christmas season and safely, I can say that the ‘Christmas fever’ has caught us all. But briefly I’d like to share a short story with us, though a sad one but I believe we’ll get the message.  Its about a family who, after trusting God for a child for some time, finally got one and when the day of the naming ceremony came, I trust we know how colourful and ‘loaded’ it was going to be, the mother of the child was like the happiest person on earth that day moving from chair to chair, room to room, person to person, just greeting everyone who turned up, as the gust were arriving, she was welcoming them with a bright smile on her face and expressed total joy and happiness that day. the Father of the child also couldn’t hide his joy as he just felt like he was above the world at that time and was over-joyous. Then a guest arrived, who just went over to meet the mother of the child, asking to see the baby. so, the mother t

MUSTARD SEED FAITH

Hello friends, trust you are good. Today I'll be sharing a piece I titled Mustard Seed Faith. And our text is Matthew 17:14-20: 14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.” 17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Noth

'You are Worthless?'

Has there ever been a time when you felt worthless, useless and you just felt that no one perceived you as valuable in life? Well, I can assume that everyone of us have had our fair share in that feeling, because I have, many times. But what is God's view about us feeling this way? Let's look into the Scriptures. Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) For we are God’s masterpiece . He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. [emplasis added] Do you see that 😄.  You are a masterpiece, not just any masterpiece, you are God's Masterpiece. Let me quickly paint a picture with this. I am a Graphic designer, and in my work, if I have a potential new client who asks me to send in a few of my previous works, what I do (as expected) is that I'll go through my archives, and pick the very best of the best designs I've previously worked on. Those are my Masterpieces. So, imagine God in an Heavenly Council meeting, and perhaps one of the 24 eld
