- It is a commandment to praise God. You cannot but praise God. Remember you are a king and He is King of kings and if you want to retain your place as a king, you must do what the King of kings says. It is a commandment, if you do not want to lose your place, you must praise God.
Malachi 2:1-4.
1-And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
2-If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
3-Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
4-And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
When you did not praise God, you are calling for curses.
Rev 5:9-10.
9-And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10-And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
- Praise is the only password that gives you access to His presence. When you don’t have the password to God’s presence, you cannot enter, praise is the only password that gives you access to divine presence and that secure His presence.
Psalms 100:4.
4- Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Until you gain access to His presence, you can’t enjoy his benefit.
Psalms 22:1-3.
1-My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2-O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3-But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
God lives in the praises of his people. So, for you to secure God’s presence, you must praise him, God’s presence cannot survive an environment that is devoid of praise.
- Praising God destroys the tendency of pride in your life. Pride destroys people faster than anything in life, the only way to humble yourself is to engage in quality praise to God. You should be forever grateful. Psalms 103:2, Luke 17:15-16. It helps you to recollect where you are coming from, it destroys the tendency of pride, for you to ever think you are what you are because of your qualification.
- Praise help you to become creative and productive. Joy is the fertilizer of the mind, it makes you to reason your way. Joy empowers the mind to be productive. A joyful mind is a productive mind. Most of the successful story you heard, is a product of the proper use of mind for creativity. So, a thankful mind is a joyful mind. Praising God makes the heart to be light, so that he can connect with the heaven and download solutions. Every challenge, every mountain of your life needs creativity which will level any mountain at any time but you cannot be creative if you are not joyful. The solution to your problem is not in you, it is rather in God. Until you connect to God, you cannot download it.
Psalms 100:1-2.
1-Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2-Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
- Praise open doors for more bless. Until you thank God for yesterday and today, tomorrow is not in view. The more you thank God, the more of his blessings, the more of his manifestation touch in your life. Luke 17:17-19.
- Praise turn attention from us to God. When you turn attention from yourself to God, it destroys those mountains that is trying to stop you.
