Persevere in Praises

Text:  Psalm 34:1(KJV)

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth 

Friends, life is not always easy but we must make up our minds to stand in the plan and command of God for eventful living. So, the two seasons of sunshine with joy and storms of life co-exist, that means there are times of discomfort but as believers we must persevere in praises as recommended from our text today. Hence, the praise of God should not cease in our mouth despite the surrounding factors around your day. Like Paul and Silas in prison continued in praise to unlock the supernatural power of God for their ultimate release.  Acts 16:25-26 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake… Remember, God is there in good and hard times, so remain praiseful.

 Amazingly, we must choose to honour God even when you don’t feel like doing so. However, when expectations are not met and circumstances of life are harsh out of answers, we are also encouraged to praise God consistently as it is a principle that brings down the host of heaven for answers. Hab 3:17-18 Although the fig tree shall not blossom... Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.  For instance David in all his songs and writings was not in the palace neither in peace but was till praising God for who He is.  Therefore, our praises should not be dependent on feelings but should be inspired by our faith in God. So, our deepest desire and thought should be that God is still good, still sovereign and cannot fail even in that challenge in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

1. Oh Lord, strengthen my spirit in trials as to trust God with continuous praise by discipline as to unlocks results at all seasons in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Friends, don’t allow challenges silence your lips of praises.
