Psalm Chapter 117 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
1 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.
PRAISE THE LORD
Thought for the day: Make it a daily habit to praise the Lord.
Message:
One thing that seems difficult for people to do in this generation is: praise the Lord. We are good in prayer points but not good in praising points. God is happy when His people realize what He has done and Who He is and so praise Him.
I heard a story of a man that saw a revelation of heaven. He was taken to several rooms and saw angels busy with letters from the earth. In the room of healing, angels were busy attending to requests. In the room of financial liberation, angels were busy attending to requests. There were many other rooms, but when he got to the room of thanksgiving, the angels were not doing anything. He now asked the angel that was taking him around the name of the room and why the angels were not working.
The Angel said, "The room is the thanksgiving room. People prefer to send prayer requests to heaven rather than praise God."
Whether the story above is true or not, we have lessons to learn from our Scripture today. We must learn to praise God not because of what He has done but because He is God. We have the story of ten lepers in the scripture.
Luke 17:12-19 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Ten were healed but one thought of giving God praise. Praise should be an everyday thing.
Don’t wait until you are pushed to do it; praise God always.
When praise becomes your habit, it will be easy for you to praise Him. Count your blessings daily and keep praising Him.
My Counsel
Ø Never allow your situation to stop you from praising God
Ø Choose any day of the week as your praise day.
Declaration
Father thank you for all you have done for me, I bring you the offering of praise in Jesus' name.
