Winning Through Praise
Monday, February 27, 2023Key Verse
“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.” Acts 16:25
Text — Acts 16:24-30
Message
Many children think that victory over Satan and difficulties come only when they pray to God. They do not know that they can receive great miracles and have victory over every form of evil through praises to God. Praising God is expressing gratitude to Him. It is thanking Him for what He has done and is doing in your life.
In the same way, prayer gets the attention of God, so also praises. God responds to praises and when He does, He solves problems, supplies our needs, and gives answers to our prayers. The door to the prison where Paul and Silas were kept, got opened by the power of God when they prayed and praised God. When friends of Jesus praise and worship God, great things happen.
Time of praising God, either personally or together with other people at home, in the church, or any other place should be taken seriously. Make up your mind to praise God every day. Do you want to win in life? Learn to praise God from your heart and by living a life that brings glory to God.
