PRAISE

Text: Act 16:16-34

Praise focuses on the omnipotent   of God. Praise simply means appreciating God for whom He is. Thanksgiving is the goodness of  God and worship is holiness of God. Romans 8:1. The reason God called you is to praise Him. Isaiah 43:21. When you are not praising God you are not fulfilling the purpose of His creation. Praise environment is God's environment. Acts 16:25-40 Wonders of praise. In the book of Acts 16:25, the word midnight Connote the time of your life when you come to a cross road.  At midnight Paul and Silas prayed but they switched over.  Your neighbour must hear your voice.  When you praise you get access to God but there was earthquake and God came down. All the doors opened.  This mean all doors were opened. What you need is immediate praise for immediate result.  It was  not all the prison doors  were opened but of those that praise. Don't be fan club. Don't be a referee who will not go home with medal but be  somebody who will go home with something. Do you know why Paul did not go? Because he praised for the doors to be opened and if he was luck up again he will praise for the doors to be opened.  When prison door was opened for Peter he ran away because prayer was done on his behalf but praise can not be done on behalf of anybody. The realm of praise is the realm of wonders because God is fearful in praise doing wonders. Exodus 15:11. Act 16:29-30.  Sinner around you must ask you what to do to be save after this praise. After this praise God will show peace on the earth. 

When it  comes to praise you focus on God don't look at your problem but focus on  God. 

 When it comes to praise you dance your dances, you sing with your mouth, you blow a trumpet of praise and then you trample on your enemies. When Paul & Silas were leaving they were begging them. all your enemy will beg you very soon. After this praise all your muckers will sing there hossana   don't look at your problem but praise. Paul's legs are chained but there mouth were not chained and they praise because doors of healing will open, doors open. Let your thought, your brain everything be there.  Every one dances,  one way or the other we all dance.  Just like Paul and Silas prison turn to testimony, your problem will be turn to testimony  in Jesus name. 

When you praise God will arise and His enemy will scattered . Psalm 68:1  No point to be ashamed for what it is gainful there is no point to be ashamed  because you are the one  that will gain. You don't need to be ashamed of what you will gain.  

It is celebrators of God that end up as celebrity.  Everything you see in the world as a counterfeit. 
Only thing God can not do for himself is to praise Himself. 
So when you do something He can not do He will do what you can not do.    Exodus 15:11. Praise as to do with greatness of God. If you want God to do wonders then give Him a fearful praise. 

When you are praiseful you become wonder, when your life is filled with praise wonders will surround your life.  Wonders simply means what makes people to wonder. Your life must be a surprise to people, but it takes praise to happen. 

When you are in praise you are in God, because every time you praise Him He efflux   your life with wonders and when you are in God you become unbeatable in life because He habits the praises of His people Psalm 22:3. 

Every  time you lift God up He will lift you up. Every time you celebrate God you become a celebrity. Anything you are doing in the kingdom of God you must do with expectation. the primary reason why God created your is to praise Him other are secondary.          What kind of wonders must expect as i praise God?  1.Expect victory and beautification ( beautification removes shamufication if there is anything like that).             1. Expect victory: not just the dancing that did the victory but having understanding. Joshua6:1-20. You need to have understanding in praising God.  They are some obstacle in your life like that wall.   So in the kingdom of God don't overcome barriers by your human strength .1Peter2:9.    

1. Praise is a means of securing the power of God that will convert the barriers into miracles, obstacles into testimonies.   All you need to do is to blow the trumpet of praise and you put your enemy under you foot.  Endless victory is a form of praise.  When they praise God,  God came down and the wall moved.  When the wall saw God it's gave way.   Every barrier before you  shall give way today in Jesus name.                       There are things you can not  fight   with humans strength.     The heart of man is in the hand of God.    

 2. Beautification,  because victory as to go with beauty.  Psalm 149:3-4  If you are not dancing you are not praising. Verse 4,  When you praise Him He beautifies  your life.  The summary of christianity is salvation and salvation is a package.  Nothing turn to glory like praise.  Those who glory God through praise are beautify by Him.  When you praise God He turns your situation. He turns things  around.  Once you are praiseful beautifies become par of you.  God can not praise Himself so He created you to do that.       God does wonders in the mist of praises. Exodus15:11. Praise makes you a wonder to your world.  Praise focuses on the omnipotency of God. It talks about the greatness of God.  If all what you need is wonder and what you need is that wonder.  God is every where but God does not manifest every where.  You have to create an atmosphere for God to manifest and that atmosphere is praise. If God be fore us who can be against us.   No matter the challenge of life if  you can secure the presence  of God, the obstacle will turn to miracle.         

WHAT DO I EXPECT AS I PRAISE?                            
 1. I should expect judgement 2Chronicle 20:1. The  gang was tick.  Judea  was just a state in Isreal.  You  can imagine  a state to  three countries. Some challenges are like that.  Versa 4 they ask the help of the Lord.  Verse12-  judgement,  When you don't know what to do there is still one more thing to do.  Verser 15 the battle is not yours ,  fear not.. Verse 17 -21 there som battle you don't need to fight.  You are already declared the winner either you fight or not.  How can singer be before Army is not natural.  When God want to fight He turns the table around because if Army should be at the front they will say they fight but it was the other way round.   Nothing happen until they began to sing in verse 22 -23.  Why  you are just watching they will be fighting themselves .  Verse 24. There was no escape .25-they were blessed in their enemies riches after the battle.   Life is fill of battle but you can transfer all your battle onto God by engaging in praise. When you engage in the place of judgement you will end up in enjoyment.  When you don't know what to do switch to praise.  Do you know what praise does?  
Praise makes you a spectator.  You don't need to partake in the fight because God will take over the fight and you will be seeing things happening.  When things are happening you don't. need to do anything but you become a spectator.  Expect a judgement .           

2.  Supernatural lifting.  Lifting that it's from God. Habakkuk 3:17-19. Every high praise is your way to high places.  When you honour God in praise He will honour you on the earth.  Praiseful Christians are alway at the top.  When you are shameless in praise God removes  your shame.  Praise guaranty supernatural lifting.   There is man in the bible name Joseph God lifted him from prison to the palace  under 24 hours because Joseph was always praiseful, he is a man of praise.  Within 24 hours God will lift you from nobody to somebody in Jesus name.   Psalm 92:1-2,10-13. Psalm 75:6-7. Praise is the larder to the top. He would put somebody down just to lift you up as you praise Him.   If a man lift a child up the child stops where the mans hand reach but when you praise God He will look down and lift you up and sky will not be the limit,  you will be up there flowing.  You want to transfer. your fight to God?  There is what they call tap team wrestling,  God is your partner and quality praises is all what you need tap your partner today while satan and his team are the opponent and God does not need the bell after the fight He will give you the belt.    When you raise God high praise naturally comes from you.  Psalm 147:1  God is exited when you praise.  2 Corinthians 2:14.  Our praise moves God in our favour.  Praise will lunch you to the endless miracle. It is the God giving weapon to emulates  Satan . Psalm 149:3 Dancing is just body movement.  You can worship without dancing but you can't praise without dancing psalm 149:6. God lives in praise.  Overtime you praise God you are doing what He can not do for himself. When you show forth His praise you become a show piece.  Those who praise God don't go down.  Praise is a spiritual lifter.  Hear this and hear me well " if you must be praiseful you must be thanks full on the inside ,  if you are not thanks full on the inside you can not be praise full on the outside. Its only those who are thanks full that become  praise full and when you become God's full and when you God's full you become wonderful ". James 5:13 only song coming from a merry heart only acceptable unto God.  Because singing opens heaven.  The cheapest way to triumph is to praise God. Only those who do from the heart that will receive victory.  Don't complain on the inside when you are praising God. May your heart be hooked up into the frequency of praise in Jesus name.Romans 4: 17-20 A man Abraham is a man of faith and that last step into his miracle was faith, there wouldn't have been any Isaac if there wasn't any praise and you can not praise God without faith.  There are certain obstacle to triumphant praise that you need to avoid.  In spite  of all condition Abraham gives  praise. 1.His case was not hopeless but he was not hopeless. 

2 His condition in the natural he was impotent condition but he said God's word has the ability to change my story . 

3 He was hundred and Sarah has passed meno-purse .  The deadness of Sarah's womb was not a thing.  When Abraham saw all that he focus on the promises of God and he give Him glory. You don't look at the circumstances   around you, you don't look at the situation around you, you focus on the promises of God and when you praise God base on the promise that God has giving you then miracles are bound to happen.  He stagger   not at the promise of God through unbelievable.  So when you don't praise God because of circumstance you are walking unbelief. But when you praise God in spite  what is happening what is fitting will superior what is happening.. Am sure some people must have mucking saying they said you are going to father of many nation but at the end of it his Isaac was born. It is natural to Mormon but it is not scriptural. 
1 Corinthians 10:10 .  For God to intervene  in your  affairs turn the switch of the miraculous by taking your eyes of the problems and by focusing on the almighty God. For the things which we see are temporary and for the things which do not see are permanent. The word temporal means it is subject to change. 2 corinthians 4:18.  God is saying. no matter what you are seeing now it is subject to change.  When you praise God, you invite God and when you invite God situation change.  All you challenges are subject to change.  His word can never change.  Psalm 56:10. When you praise God because of His word problems give way.  In every temptation there is a way and that way of escape is praise.      He will beautify your life when you praise Him. When He beautify's your life He takes shame out of your life. It is time you turn your place of mourning to a place of praise and your life will never remain the same.
God bless you.
