By Pst Israel Olorunfemi

TEXT: "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High" (Psalms 92:1)

Understanding they say, is the secret behind anything outstanding in the kingdom of God which we belong. Understanding of what praise is will help us to engage it heartily, tirelessly, joyfully and alwaysly. The Psalmist says: "For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding" (Ps 47:7).

I will like to point out to you this morning what praise really is.

1: Praise is appreciating God who He is. Appreciating God for who He is irrespective of what He has done or not done is the praise that commands the supernatural. You can't appreciate God for who He is and depreciate in life. If you don't want to sink, sing praises with the understanding that God is your Father and not because He does something for you. No one ever remains down lifting God in praise. The way up in that situation you're in at the moment is to lift your hands up in appreciation to God and He will raise you above it.

2: Praise is appreciating God for His promises. The fastest way to see prophecies fulfilled in your life is to appreciate God for them even before their fulfillment. When you are singing to God, what do you project? Are you singing because you just feel like it? No! Praise is a weapon of war. You must war with prophecies if you will see them come to pass in your life. Apostle Paul said: "This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare" (1Tim 1:18). The way to war with prophecies is by praising God for them in advance.

Lift your hands now and praise Him for what He has promised you this year because they will all come to pass! 

PRAYER: The war over your life, marriage, business, relationship, is over as you praise Him today and always, 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!
