PRAISE THE LORD

-

Psalms 135:1-3

Praise the Lord! 

Praise the name of the lord! 

Praise him, you who serve the Lord, you who serve in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; celebrate his lovely name with music.


There are ways to stay connected with the Lord, traditionally there is prayer, meditation on the word and worshipping with music/songs.


Ephesians 5:19

singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.


When we sing, the lyrics and the melody matter, for we make good sounds and speak the word to make good music to worship God. In doing this we automatically connect to the Father and are lifted up.


Psalm 47:7 

For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.


See, challenges and problems are weakened by true worship:


Hebrews 13:15

Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.


The higher dimension of praise goes beyond us praising but causing others by our good actions to praise God!


Hebrews 13:16

And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.


When you see your mind wandering or getting worried,  begin to sing God's praises from the inside in understanding and also in tongues (if you can?)


So praise the Lord in your closet, with your family and with the brethren, remember that it is what you will always do.


Revelation 15:3-4

And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: 

“Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty. 

Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations.

Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? 

For you alone are holy. 

All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed.”


Praise ye the Lord, The Lord's name be praised.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same
