God Is Worthy To Be Praised!

Generally, people view praise as the singing of songs, usually fast ones and dancing to God. However, praise mean more than just singing, dancing or raising of hands. Praise is a spiritual language that can reach beyond the intellect to touch the heart of God. Praise is a wonderful fragrance before the Most High and it ignites God’s Power. Understanding this concept can take us to a new realm in our relationship with God. From our anchored Scripture God is worthy to be praised and as we praise Him, we are saved from our enemies. Every great victory in battle and triumphant success over the enemy in difficult situations requires the intervention of the Almighty God. This reality makes it mandatory for Christians to worship and sing praises to God before and after we experience triumphant victory. Psalm 96:4 says “For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.”

In Psalm 18:1-3, David said several things about who God was to him. He said God is worthy to be praised, because he realized that when he praised God, he got delivered from his enemies. In other words, refusing to praise God would have resulted in him becoming a casualty in the hands of his enemies. When God is on our side, without any doubt we are more than Conquerors. In Psalm 68: 1-3, the Bible says let God arise and let all His enemies be scattered. So, if God is behind us, all the enemies have no choice but to scattered. Whenever we praise God, He does something really supernatural because He is fearful in praise. Every time God demands that we give something to Him, it is for our own good and not His. Only the fellow who wants to deceive himself or herself will think otherwise. It is written in 2 Chronicles 20:22 “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.” When king Jehoshaphat deployed an army of worshippers matching into battle with musical instruments in their hands and songs of praise in their mouths, the Lord did something supernatural. As they praised and worshipped God, He rose on their behalf and completely destroyed all their enemies by letting the enemy fight among themselves. No wonder David never lost a battle because he knew how to praise His Maker.

Beloved, be a committed worshipper of God because it is good and blessed to do so. Rejoice, sing, dance, thank Him and bless His Name like never before. Give God all the Glory, give Him all the Praise and Adore His Name, for He is Worthy to be Praised. Praise Him more for Who He is, what He does and for the splendor of His Glory. Thank Him for the gift of life, His Mercies and Goodness. If you are grateful for what He did yesterday, He will do more today and forever. As you praise Him, it won’t matter how much the water your enemies want to sink you in is, because His faithfulness will always draw you out. As you praise the LORD, the One by whose Name every knee must bow will deliver you from every chain that the enemy have put around you in Jesus’ Name. When you lift up praise, it does not matter how defenseless you are, the great Defender will fight all your battles. All the lies and ganging up of the enemies against your life may be launched, but you will come out victorious because you have made the Lord your delight and praise. As you praise and celebrate God for His Worthiness and Greatness, He will show you even more of that greatness. You will continue to have bountiful testimonies of God’s Greatness. Today, serve, worship and praise God because your life, joy and peace depend on it.
