TEXT: "My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt" (Dan 6:22)
Welcome to a week you and I shall not forget in a hurry. The Lord shall do His quick and strange works in our lives and destinies, in Jesus name.
As we all know, this month is our month of Wonders through Praise in Morning Tea Devotional Family. Your life shall be full of wonders this month, in Jesus name. I will like to shed more lights on the subject of prayer and praise. I'll like to let you know that praise is never a substitute to prayers. There is a time to pray and a time to praise. It is so alarming today that many are praying that they care not to find out what else to do even when they are not receiving answers to their prayers. We often hear people asked us in time of challenges "Have you prayed?" No, it is time for us to embrace the power in praise. It is time to ask that person who is passing through challenges: "Have you praised?"
Every prayer required the activities of angels to be answered. For instance, when Peter was arrested and kept in prison, the Bible says that prayer was offered to God daily for him. Prayer was offered and God sent an angel to execute his release (Acts 12). Looking at the book of Daniel also, we found three instances where God responded to Daniel's prayers by dispatching angels to deliver the answers (Dan 9, 6 &10). There is no omnipotent angel, but we have Omnipotent Father and praise is what gets Him involved in any matter of concern to us.
When it comes to victory over life's situations and challenges, praise is more powerful than prayer. Am I undermining prayer? NO. The Bible makes it clear that God dwells in praises (Ps 22:3). When God arises in praises, His enemies are bound to scatter (Ps 68:1). When Paul and Silas were arrested, they prayed but as soon as they switched on to praise, a sudden deliverance took place. God stepped into the prison and immediately the prison door opened and their bands were loosed (Acts 16:25-30). Beloved, praise is the key!
PRAYER: I see God arising for you this week and all your enemies shall scatter. The Egyptians you see today, you shall see them again no more forever in Jesus name!
DAILY CONFESSION: This year 2022, I am more than conqueror by the Power of the Holy Spirit therefore I shall continue to celebrate all through the year, hallelujah!
