Text:Acts 16:25”And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.”
To be successful in life, it is good to study the lives of others, who had succeeded in that particular area, to find out what they did which other people ignored. For all those who found favour with God, there are certain characteristics common to them.
The first one is that they knew how to worship God. If you want divine favour, you must learn the heart of worshipping God. Instead of complaining Paul and Silas turned to praise, they put
The first one is that they knew how to worship God. If you want divine favour, you must learn the heart of worshipping God. Instead of complaining Paul and Silas turned to praise, they put
their problem aside and praised God. The problem is that many of us have remained ardent complainers. We complain about everything, some will even question God by saying “ What kind of god are you?” I have asked you about this and that you are yet to
do it. Do you think I have your time? They will become enemy of God but the wise one will wake up in the morning and say “ God I thank you for giving me another opportunity to be alive”
The book of John 4:23-24 says “ But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in
spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people.” God is
looking for those that will worship Him in spirit and in truth and
may He find you qualified for favour in Jesus name. Do not wait
until you are been pushed around by anybody, arise and worship
this God.
Also you need to win souls for God. Acts 1629-31”the jailer called
for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He
then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be
saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be
saved—you and your household.” Soul winning not only
activates God’s favour but it brings God’s blessings.
Mark17:16-18 made it clear that there will be rewards for thoese
for those that preach the gospel and I think
nothing better than that when as a Christian
you become a terror to the kingdom of darkness.
When you worship God by testifying to His goodness,
I think telling others what He has done done and bring them
to benefit from His blessings is more important than anything.
If we are to look at the lives of people favoured in the Bible,
people like Abraham who builds several alter unto God, Noah
who builds alter unto God in Genesis 8:20-2. What about David?
A man after God’s own heart, He excelled in worshipping God.
Paul said he would both sing to God in the spirit and in
understanding. 1Corinthians 14:15,18. You can be sure he
excelled in spiritual songs and worship to God.
The question is, do you want favour? Then begin to worship God
from this hour, create a room of worship in your heart, and win
souls. You will sooner realise that people will celebrate with you
because it is your worship unto God that can activate that favour.
