MID WEEK PROPHETIC SERVICE

FROM GREAT GRACE TABERNACLE,

CHILILABOMBWE, ZAMBIA.

ENGAGING THE KEY OF PRAISE IN PROVOKING SUDDEN RESTORATION PACKAGES

PRAISE MOVES GOD (Psalm 114:1-8)

⭕️To praise is to express adoration or approval.

⭕️We praise the Lord for His traits, His works, and His character. 

⭕️Our spirit becomes more pliable, open, and receptive to receiving to God’s Holy Spirit.

⭕️ ‘Prayer moves mountain, but praise moves God.’

⭕️When God is full of praise, He moves into action for to judge and revenge you of your enemies.

⭕️When you engage God through praise, you are appealing to a sensitive part of His nature.

⭕️God will move and when He moves, mountains flee on their own accord and hills skip like little lambs.

THE FOCUS OF OUR PRAISE:

• FOR THE HELP SO FAR RECEIVED FROM GOD (1Samuel 7:12; 1Chronicles 15:26)
  ⭕️Anytime you recognize and appreciate God for His help, it multiplies
• FOR FRUSTRATING THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE WICKED (Lamentations 3:37; Isaiah 44:25; Job 5:12; Acts 12:11)
  ⭕️Don’t be worried about what they have said, the most important thing is ‘Who said it?’
  ⭕️Don’t be worried about those that have gathered against you, the most important thing is ‘Who gathered them?’
  ⭕️Our destiny is not tied to the things of the earth, so no man can predict our future
• FOR PREVENTING US FROM BEING CONSUMED (Lamentations 3:22-23; Malachi 3:6)

⭕️If not for God, the enemy would have swallowed us up

WHY DO WE PRAISE?

• PRAISE IS A SPIRITUAL CLIMATE-CHANGER (Psalm 114:1-2; 2Chronicles 5:13-14)
  ⭕️Praise introduces around a person, the atmosphere of God’s Presence
  If you don’t like the climate around your life, increase your praise and worship level
• PRAISE OPENS YOU UP TO THE WILL AND MIND OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE (2 Kings 3:15; 1Thessalonians 5:18; Acts 13:2; Isaiah 30:29-30)
  ⭕️A worshipper is guaranteed more access to the will and mind of God than an ungrateful person
• PRAISE IS A SPIRITUAL LIFTER OF PEOPLE; PRAISE IS A SPIRITUAL LEVEL CHANGER (Habakkuk 3:18-19; 1Samuel 16:18)
  ⭕️If your level has not changed yet, just hold on to your praise
• PRAISE IS A SPIRITUAL OBSTACLE CRUSHER (Joshua 6:20-21; Psalm 114:1-8; Acts 16:25-26)
  ⭕️Obstacles are crushed and collapsed by the power of praise
• PRAISE IMPARTS THE CLIMATE OF ACCEPTANCE AND FAVOUR (1Samuel 16:21; Acts 2:47).

• PRAISE IS PATHWAY TO ROYALTY AND AUTHORITY IN THE KINGDOM (Genesis 49:8-10; 1Samuel 16:17-23)
  ⭕️The tribe of praise is the tribe of kings
• PRAISE ACTIVATES THE SUPPLY SYSTEM OF GOD (Psalm 67:5-7; John 6:11-13)
  ⭕️You confront scarcity and shortage with praise

PRAISE GIVES GOD PLEASURE (Psalm 149:3-4, Revelation 4:11)

⭕️I tell you, the pleasure a king gets from being eulogized is way more than the pleasure of food and drink.

⭕️Think of God as King of kings (that’s who He is) and then go praising and eulogizing Him; you know the rest of the story.

⭕️He is pleased with your worship and your praise.

⭕️When God is filled to the overflow with praises coming from you, your enemies are in trouble.

⭕️He will arise and your enemies will be scattered (Psalm 68:1)

PRAISE IS GOD’S UTMOST

⭕️UTMOST means most extreme; greatest.

⭕️Another reason why praise is so potent in spiritual warfare is because it is God’s utmost in life.

⭕️The reason for creation is such that the creation will give the creator pleasure.

⭕️Nothing compares to serving God.

⭕️Working for God is good, but giving Him praise is the best.

⭕️Praying is great, but praising God is superior and more blessed.

⭕️All other things that you do for God are good, but nothing compares to kneeling before Him in worship, interacting with His holiness, blessing Him for who He really is.

⭕️Work all you can for God, but give more of your time in personal intimacy with Him, loving, praising and worshipping Him all the more. 

⭕️You will see Him bring your desires upon your enemies.

EXAMPLES

• King Jehoshaphat of Judah when He was faced with four enemy nations (2 Chronicles 20:1-30)
• Paul and Silas in the New Testament employing the same strategy when they were locked up in jail in Philippi (Acts 16:25-34)

⭕️God came down by Himself, the enemies of God were routed out completely.

⭕️God came down by Himself, earthquake attended to Him and the doors to the jail flung open, the locks broken in their own accord.

⭕️That’s what praise can do and will do for you even today.

⭕️God has not changed and His way of doing battles has not also changed (Malachi 3:6)

⭕️When you do what people in Bible days did, you will get the same result they got (1 Corinthians. 10:11)
