Our Existence is to Worship and Praise God

The place of understanding in the life of a person is very critical in fulfilling destiny; where understanding is lacking, abuse is inevitable. Our anchored Scripture confirms that the main purpose of our existence is to worship and praise God. To praise God is to fulfil the reason we are living on earth. We cannot live well until we praise our Creator. It is written in Psalm 150:6 “Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.” We’re created to praise God so, as long as we are ready to praise the Lord, we will be supplied the breath of life by God. Every living mortal soul owes God the unfinished debt of praise. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praise of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” When we live to worship and serve God, we make Him the sole reason for our existence. Paying the debt of praise is endless because even in eternity in Heaven, praise still continues.

Praise is a spiritual force that connects humanity to the wonders of God. John 4:23 says “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” True worship is a heart that is truly after God, it is the pursuit of God, a state of continual longing for God. Praise is not just what we sing, it is the value we show, display and demonstrate for our Creator. It is about the demonstration of gratitude and appreciation to the Almighty. Praise is about the declaration of the goodness of our God in thanksgivings and testimonies. In 2021 as we praise God, He will turn the battlefield into a harvest field. He will give us supernatural victory in battle(2 Chronicles 20:21). As we praise Him, He will become a weapon of vengeance and judgment against the enemy(Psalms 149:6). If we make praising God our focus in 2021, He will open every closed doors in our lives(Acts 16:25-26). When we release to God the praise that is meant for Him, the earth will also release the portion that is meant for us. In other words, our response to God in praise determines the Earth’s response to us in supplies(Psalms 67:5-7). As we praise Him, He will restore, preserve, protect, defend, provide, intervene in all our situations, heal all our sicknesses and diseases.

Beloved, true worship and praise is beyond singing, dancing or lifting up hands in church; it is a chase after God, total surrender to Him and being open to Him. Learn to maintain an attitude of praise and thanksgiving as a child of God. Decide to praise the Lord at all times and in all situations and desist from the lifestyle of murmuring, grumbling and complaining. Today which happens to be the first day of 2021, make God your most important priority in life, and don’t forget to open your mouth and your heart to do what God has created you for. Praise! Let the Presence of God be your greatest addiction and attraction in life in this new year and beyond. As you yield yourself to true worship and praise, I see God overwhelming you with His glory in Jesus’ Name.
