VICTORY THROUGH PRAISE – Monday November
16th 2020
Memorise: I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall
continually be in my month. Psalm 34:1
Read: 2nd Chronicles 20:17-22 (KJV)
17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle:
set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not,
nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and
all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the
children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the
wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear
me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe
his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers
unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of
holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.
22 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.
Bible in one year: Acts 4-6, Hymn: Sing hymn 14
Message:-
Living a life of praise is not only the most
enjoyable way to live, its also one of the most powerful ways to change your
life. Praise isn’t what you do only after a miracle has happened; it is what
actually makes the miracle happen.

“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.” 2nd Chronicles 20:22
From the passage above, we see that it was
when they began to sing and praise that the Lord moved. If you are waiting for
God to do a miracle before you start praising Him, you have got it all wrong.
It is when you praise Him that the miracle will happen. It is by faith that you
get miracles; the evidence that you truly have faith in God is in your praising
Him even before the miracle happens.

Can you praise God in the face of danger? Can
you praise Him when all seems not to be well and you are feeling down? You see,
that is exactly the best time to praise Him. It is when you praise Him in that
situation that He will minister strength to you. Staying down and closing your
month is exactly what the devil needs for him to keep you in that situation. He
knows that the moment you start praising God, the game has changed in your
favour. Since God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3), your praise
will bring Him into that situation and the devil will be defected.
Open Heaven 16 November 2020 Monday: Key Point
My beloved, it doesn’t matter how you feel at
any point in time, don’t let the devil take the praise of God away from your
lips. When the devil comes with his trouble, don’t face him; he is too small to
get your attention. Face the living God and get Him the best praise. Go to a
quiet place and shout the praise of God loud and clear so that the devil will
tremble. What you will realise is that, just as God did for the people of
Judah, He will move on your behalf when you begin to sing and praise Him.
Hallelujah!
Key Point
Praise God always, even when you are feeling down.
