(TEXT : Psalms 66:8)
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
FOCUS :
We have started this series since two days ago, and we have covered some reasons we should praise God. And as I begin to roundup on this series, I will like to inform us that It is only the living that can praise God here on earth. When we gets to heaven, we will be told how to praise God there. But for now, we are still here on earth. And as far as we are still living in this world, “let everything in us PRAISE GOD.
Psalms 150:6
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
In addition, today we move on to the next number; which is number six, praise God because you have your two legs still working and walking. Your two legs are your first means of transportation, if any of the two breaks down, then transportation will be expensive for your entire body. There is a popular saying that says: “a thousand journey begins with just a step.” Now, it is when you have your legs that you can think to start by taking a “single step” forward. However, if your legs are not functioning as they should, that means you are a “lame”, and if you are a lame that means the devil has planted a darkness in you. However, when you praise God vehemently, God will moved on your behalf and lift you up, so that you can walk into His “light and perfect praise.”
Acts 3:2, 6-8 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Finally, number seven reason why we should praise God, it is because God gives us “sound sleep.” As little as this might sound, if you have tried it not to sleep for just one night, to some people the result will be that their BP will rise immediately, to some they will immediately start having serious headache and why to some they will just collapse. However, just for a few minutes imagine how many time you have slept and wake-up, and how many time you have denied yourself of sleeping and yet, you have no reason to be hospitalized. PRAISE GOD! Naturally, God gives all His beloved children “sound sleep”; and for this alone, our strength are renewed. So next time when you hear “PRAISE GOD, your response you should echo HALLELUJAH.
Psalms 127:2
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
BE SAFE AND GET SAVED!
God bless you richly!
Jesus Christ loves you
Thank you Holy Spirit
ARE YOU SAVED?
