Give Him His Food!

A person of praise is a person of honor. When you honor God with praise, He makes men honor you. Whatever you do to Him, He does back to you. If you want to be a person of honor, honor Him with praise.

David, the king of Israel praised God more than he prayed unto Him. He said,” Seven times I praise You because of your righteous judgment…Psalm 119:164” No wonder King David had no equal. He never lost a battle during his reign as the King of Israel. Those who know how to praise God from the depth of their hearts will always win in every areas of their lives.

I remember back in the days when I saw Praise session as an activity in Church. To me, singing praises was to while away the time and also to feel good. I was oblivious to the fact that you praise God to lift Him up. You praise God to worship His majesty. You praise God for who He is and for His Word. Halleluyah! Glory to God that the story has changed with me. My mindset has been transformed and I'm now enjoying the benefit of praising my God.

Praise is not optional but it's mandatory. You don’t always have to feel like it but you just must praise Him. The book of Psalm 150 :1-6 attest to it. As long as the is breath in you, you must praise Him. In spite of what you are going through, you must praise Him. Abraham went through a prolonged childlessness but that didn’t stop Him from praising God ( Gen 14:22 ).

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to bow to any other gods but the Most High God. They said, “ O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up ( Daniel 3:16-18). Can you see that? Oh my God! Regardless of the fiery furnace fire, they refused to bow and the faithful God rescued and honor them with excellence ( Daniel 3: 19-25) . The whole world will celebrate your God when His praise is continually in your lips. The King changed his mind when he saw the acts of God in the lives of the 3 Hebrew boys. He joined to celebrate their God. Nebuchadnezzar said in the book of Daniel 3:26-30, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire. And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them.
Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel[b] and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God! Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.”
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the province of Babylon ”

Praise gives birth to promotion. Your praise will skyrocket you to a place of envy. Give it to Him. He requires nothing from you and I but our praise.

The reason why many don’t praise Him is because they don’t know Him. You can’t know Him without praising Him. It takes your redemption in Christ to enjoy the benefit of His praise. Give Him your heart. Give Him His praise and He will give you excellence.

Glory to God!
