TEXT: "And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed" (Acts 16:25-26).
I want to begin by saying no man is self sufficient and according to scripture, by strength shall not any man prevail. Every human being needs the help of God. There are times when knowledge, connection, power, skills and men will fail us. The truth is, there are some things we cannot successfully accomplish by our strength unless God intervenes. So, the question remains how do we secure this help from God?
2. PRAISE:
No matter the situation you would face in life, there is help always as long as the button of praise is pressed. David said to himself in Psalms 42:5 that "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance." Our decision to praise God can usher us help from God.
"And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten" (2Chro 20:22).
As they began to sing, God began to fight for them. Praise unleashes the defending power of God. As you praise Him, He will help you. Many believers think that the only thing they need to do to secure God’s help is to pray. No. Prayer alone cannot secure His help. Until you begin to praise Him despite your challenges, He might not help you. Praise secures the help of God.
PRAYER: Grace to live a lifestyle of praise is yours today, in Jesus name.
