WORD FOR THE DAY: PRAISE IS THE KEY



ACTS 16:24-25.
Are you knocked down by circumstances of life? Have you been kept in prison/bondage by Satan? Then this word will help you.
Around midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a great earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off! - Acts 16:25-26.
Praise opens the door of any prison. Praise can break
any chain Satan uses to bind you. Take note of this: Any time you praise God despite of your ugly circumstance, God Himself comes for your rescue. Praise brings God down for your intervention.
Praise becomes a sacrifice when you don’t feel like giving it. Anyone can praise God when things are fine and rosy, but when you despise your ugly circumstances and praise God it really counts and becomes a sacrifice that God cannot overlook.
It becomes easy for you to praise God when you have the knowledge of His presence with you. No matter the challenges, God is still with you. Knowing this will make Joy to well up in your spirit. The joy of the Lord is our strength, when joy fills your soul, then you shall receive the strength to praise God in spite of your circumstances. Then (Ezra) told them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord; and be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold.(Neh.8:10)AMP.
Don’t look at your predicament today, look unto the Lord and find joy in His unfailing presence. This will move you from your weakness to strength. Start to praise Him now.
