BE FULL OF PRAISE: 25/02/2014

BE FULL OF PRAISE: 25/02/2014

Yesterday’s message was titled “GLORIOUS EXPECTATION” while today’s message is titled “BE FULL OF PRAISE” as given by Pastor E. A. Adeboye in Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014). In today’s message, we have been asked to memorise Psalm 34:1 " l will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth." and read Psalm 18:1 -3.  The Bible in one year reading for today has been taken from Jeremiah 7:30 to Jeremiah 9:26 and Psalm 45

Quoted below is the message for today. God bless you for contributing to the discussion, amen.

" The incident that led to the fall of man in the Garden of  Eden was a complete loss of all that is beautiful. Prior to the fall, man wasn't fearful of his environment or of the presence of God. But after the fall, for the first time Adam was terrified by the presence of God which he previously used to anticipate. With this came the universal culture of complaining, murmuring and grumbling, The awesome glory of God over his life and destiny was destroyed. Glory to God that Jesus as the second Adam has come to undo the evil the devil subtly brought on man. 

David in our Bible reading for today reveals the importance . of eulogising God. He was confessing who God is to him: his rock, his fortress, his deliverer, his strength, his buckler, the horn of his salvation and his high tower. In his praise of  God, David was also expressing his confidence and trust in , God. God enjoys our praise. He says in Psalm 50:23 that he who offers praise glorifies Him. Are you a child of God? You must know that there is no place for those that murmur and   grumblers in heaven; it is an eternity of ecstatic adoration of our great King (Revelation 4:5-1 1). David, even in those days caught the revelation of this truth; hence he resolved to banish murmuring from his life.This caused him to proclaim in Psalm 34:1 that:
 ’’I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

 This is the secret of the greatness of this man who was once a nobody. From a human perspective, David had no prospect of becoming anything. Usually in families, it is expected  that the youngest in the family would enjoy some pampering and ease, but not so with David. His older  siblings remained at home enjoying themselves with the  milk from the flock of sheep that David kept in the bush all by himself. However, every labour has its rewards. David . became the greatest king of Israel and became an ancestor of our Lord Jesus. Because he was full of praise, God could  not help but lavish His favour on him Mind you, a great  man always likes his greatness to be acknowledged. He  would like that those around him do not embarrass or  disgrace Him by diminishing his status in any way. I once had an uncle who would refuse financial assistance to anyone who requested a meager amount  because he felt such a request was demanding on him. God is greater than the greatest of men. Whatever your condition. He has the  final say. Its not over. therefore don"t let the challenges of life reduce your God to a grasshopper in your eyes."

Today's action point is that no matter your current condition, right now look to God. Praise Him by calling Him beatiful names. Tell Him you will praise Him at all times and that He should help you.

I apologise that today's posting is a little bit delayed due to some challenges with internet connection and I pray that today, as we praise God like never before, He will be moved to do what no man can do in our lives in Jesus Name, amen.

  4. If you discover complaining in your life instead of praise , you have just discovered how shallow your Faith is! Forget the object of your complain and CRY to God to save you from unbelief- which is worse than AIDS!!!
