MEMORY VERSE: “But Thou art holy, O Thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” – Psalm 22:3
BIBLE TEXT: Acts 16:22-28
LESSON INTRODUCTION: This topic is an age-long message and because it has been preached often, most Christians these days are no longer taking it serious. By so doing, they are still struggling with their problems. These problems would have been long settled, if they have heeded and strictly adhered to this instruction and admonition from God.
THE BENEFITS OF PRAISING GOD:
There are a lot of benefits attached when we decide from the depth of our hearts to praise God, not paying lips service (i.e. not praising Him in spirit. – John 4:23-24), then God will inevitably show up. – 2 Chronicles 20:22
(i) God will discomfit all your enemies. – 2 Chronicles 20:23-24
(ii) Wealth immediately changes hands. – 2 Chronicles 20:25
(iii) Prison’s gates and doors open on their own accord. – Acts 16:25-26
(iv) You will increase in all sides. – Psalm 67:5-6
(v) Unbelievers around you will begin to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. – Acts 16:28-31 etc.
SUMMARY: As a believer in Christ don’t stop praising God.
CONCLUSION: Our today’s memory verse says that God inhabits the praises of His people. What is ‘inhabits’? The meaning is that God ‘dwells’ where His people are praising Him. Inferably, this means that when you praise God, your life immediately and automatically becomes God’s dwelling place (it is heaven on earth). However, this will not happen if you are not living holy. – 1 Peter 1:15
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Thank Him for the salvation of your soul.
2. Father, in any way I have been doubting your word, please show me Your mercy.
3. Let sacrifices of praise fill the air in all our parishes.
4. Father, make the walls of Daddy G.O. praise and make his gates praise salvation.
5. Our individual prayer today is: Lord, fill my lips with Your praises.
