TOPIC:  PRAISE – A KEY TO ARRESTING UNTIMELY DEATH

SCRIPTURE: Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.  Psalm 119:175

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Anytime death threatens your life, deploy the weapon of praise to deal with it.

It has been confirmed that the essence of our existence is to worship God. A major reason God allows our soul to live is to praise Him. That means to stop praising God is to ask Him to stop protecting you.

Beloved, you must come to the point like the Psalmist who says, “O Lord, if You will give me life, I will give you praise. It is a deal. Let my soul live and it shall praise Thee.” (Psalm 119:175, Paraphrased).

King Hezekiah received a prophecy from Isaiah that he (Hezekiah) should set his house in order and be prepared to die. Thereafter, the Scripture reported that after receiving the prophecy, Hezekiah lifted his eyes and said, “Oh God, the grave cannot praise You. Only the living will praise you. Why are my days being cut off?” (Isaiah 38:18-22).

After listening to what Hezekiah said regarding praise, God told Isaiah, “Turn back and tell Hezekiah that fifteen more years are added to his life on Earth; he just told me now that if he was kept alive, he would praise Me.”

God preserved Hezekiah because he told God that if his soul should live, he would praise God.

Beloved, praise is a key to longevity. Anytime death threatens your life, deploy the weapon of praise to deal with it. Anytime you are confronted with the fear of death, give Jehovah praise because if you will praise Him, He will let your soul live.

Remember this: Anytime death threatens your life, deploy the weapon of praise to deal with it.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Anytime death threatens your life, use the weapon of praise to deal with it.
2. Praise God unconditionally and consistently.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for showing me the key of praise. I receive the grace to praise You continually so I can justify my existence, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Tell the devil he is not in control of your life. God is in control of your life. Put an up-beat praise music and begin to celebrate and jubilate to the glory of God. When you begin to do that, your joy will come back.
