The Power of Praise for a Victorious Life
To be victorious in life, learn to magnify God. That challenge you’re facing is not as big as you think. Satan’s goal is to magnify your problems in your mind, because as a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7).
This month, open your destiny to divine intervention by magnifying the name of the Lord (Psalm 50:23). Most of our problems are not caused by the devil, but by a faulty belief system. To change your life, you must change your thoughts—because life flows from the spirit, and your belief creates your reality.
Shift Your Focus
Begin this new month by shifting your focus:
- Look away from your problems.
- Look up to God in praise.
Yes, the problems of life are real—but they are not without solutions.
The Power of Praise
When you bring a sacrifice of praise, you honour God. And when God is honoured, divine intervention is provoked. The Word of God is like a seed, but for it to bear fruit, it must be watered with praise and thanksgiving.
Whatever you appreciate God for will multiply, and what you fail to thank Him for will diminish (Jeremiah 30:19).
It takes a praiseful life to enjoy a harvest-full life.
Praise Is a Lifestyle of Faith
You’ll never get to a point in life where there won’t be a reason to thank God. To live a life of praise, you must believe in what you cannot yet see—believing by revelation from the Word of God.
You don’t believe because you see; you will see because you believe.
No one is immune to the problems of life, but these problems are often raw materials for testimonies. One powerful way to provoke divine intervention is to live a praiseful life.
Praise in the Midnight Hour
Understand this: life is a battlefield. To overcome, you must live a life of praise. It’s not easy to praise God in the midnight of your ordeal, but that’s exactly when it counts the most.
Those who rejoice in the Lord will soon rejoice in results.
Those who give thanks in every situation will soon give thanks for everything.
God is not the source of your problems—He is the helper of your destiny.
Change Your Thinking to Change Your Life
Life is not naturally friendly to anyone, but those who enjoy the best of life know what to do in the face of problems. You won’t live right until you start believing right.
One of the key ways to let God transform your thinking—and in turn, your life—is through praise.
The solution to your problem may already be around you, but you need spiritual awareness to recognize it. And one way to awaken your spiritual eyes is to praise God.
Job got God to intervene in his situation by laughing at his problems (Job 5:22). Your location isn’t the issue—it’s the state of your mind.
Even if no one believes in you now, as you cultivate a lifestyle of praise, you will become someone to be reckoned with.
Praise Demonstrates Faith
Praising God is an act of demonstrating your faith in His power. To believe right, speak, act, and think in alignment with His Word.
But for your praise to be truly acceptable before God, you must surrender your life to Jesus and come under His Lordship. A heart that is yielded to God is a heart that can produce praise that touches heaven.
