Open Heaven 30 August 2022 TOPIC: Praise Raises

MEMORISE: The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Genesis 49:10

READ: 2 Samuel 6:20-22 (KJV)

²⁰ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

²¹ And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord

which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.

²² And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 28:1-17, Jeremiah 29:1-32 , Jeremiah 30:1-24

Open Heaven 30 August 2022 MESSAGE:

Judah means praise, and in the memory verse for today, we witness God making a promise that the sceptre will not leave the tribe of Judah. In other words, every child of God who belongs to the tribe of praise will always be a leader in their various fields of endeavour. People will gather to them, and they will always be at the top. This is not far-fetched; after all, Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of His people.

If you know how to praise God correctly. He will make His abode with you and make you the head. You will never fail, and you will also be prosperous. In (2 Samuel 6:11) they put the ark of the covenant in the house of Obededom and all of a sudden he began to prosper. If God is with you, you will rise to the very top. In whatever field you operate in, if you know how to really praise God, He will raise you to be number one. One day, a Pastor came to me and said, “Daddy, I think I have discovered the secret of your tremendous success in ministry.

 

 

When you get to the altar to preach, before you start at all, you first sing praises to God and then you eulogise Him until His presence comes down mightily, then you go ahead and preach”. I said “Oh, you got it. Go back home and start doing the same”. Amongst Pastors in the whole world, I want to be number one, I know that if I can praise Him nonstop, then He will keep lifting me higher. The reason many Christians are not rising to be number one in their fields is that they don’t know how to really praise God.

 

Some people find it difficult to kneel before God in public. In heaven, they not only kneel, they also fall on their faces before God (Revelation 7:11). When you ask some Christians to praise God, you see their mouths hardly moving. How can you praise the King of kings silently? Psalm 98:4 says; Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

 

 

Heaven is not a silent place. In heaven, they lift up the voices and say, “Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honour, power and might be unto God for ever and Amen” (Revelation 7:12). You need to learn to praise God the way He really should be praised. Just keep praising Him and you will discover that doors that were erstwhile shut will begin to open unto you and soon, you will be number one in your field.

Open Heaven 30 August 2022 Key Point:

Fall on your face, lift up your voice and praise the Most High God like you have never done before.

Open Heaven 30 August 2022 HYMN 13: My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less

1 My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly lean on Jesus name.

 

CHORUS:

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness seems to veil His face,

I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.

 

3 His oath, His covenant, and blood,

Support me in the whelming flood;

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

 

4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh, may I then in Him be found;

Dressed in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.
