KEY SCRIPTURE:1 Timothy 1:17 KJV “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory forever and ever Amen.”

After apostle Paul had talked about how unqualified he was to be saved, yet the grace of God reached out to him to save his soul.He was also given eternal or an everlasting life.He added that the Lord showed such mercy to him as a demonstration to any such rebellious person to reach out to Christ to obtain the same mercy. Apostle Paul then goes into praise of the Lord.May we likewise be very thankful about the fact that we have been saved.Many believers are not appreciative of the great salvation obtained in Jesus.They are constantly worried over one thing or the other that might not be going well or is not available and constantly staying moody or questioning God. Please our salvation is always precious and more valuable than whatever we may not have.Secondly the next reason to remain joyful is that , with joy shall we draw out of the wells of salvation.( Isaiah 12:3), In your salvation is every thing you would need.Your joy is like the line with the bucket at its end which you may throw down into that deep well full of every blessing.Without joy you are seriously handicapped.

Praise creates that joy.Praise acknowledges God for who He is and gives it to Him in words.True praise takes your attention from yourself and your challenges and magnifies God.Praise creates the right image about God and speaks it out.Praise is a very mighty weapon that Satan can not overcome any time.God’s principle of salvation is that you believe in your heart what God has said in His word and then you confess with your mouth(Rom 10:9,10).In praise you first believe what God has revealed about himself and then you speak it out as words or in a song.By this act you have fulfilled the principle of salvation.The glorious things you sing or talk about are confessing of your thoughts and faith in God.This brings blessings of deliverance, healings or divine provisions of all kinds.You are robbing yourself of the very blessings you.have been crying for if you allow those needs r lack to rob you of giving God the praise.

Please praise is ineffective if it lacks focus , attention and that heart of appreciation.Psa 63:5 KJV” My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:” Praising with joyful lips comes out of a heart filled with so much appreciation.He said when this is done then his soul would be satisfied with marrow and fatness.In this condition , the heart or soul satisfied with fatness is the seat of all solutions in the body.Pro 18:14 KJV “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?” It is your fattened spirit that sustains your infirmity, or heals your body.He says who can bear a wounded spirit.A problem mind or heart is a wounded spirit and cannot conquer or sustain your infirmity.Dear one never stop praising the Lord out of a joyful merry heart.Give no place to the supposed challenges you have.Jonah calls them lying vanities.Jon 2:8 KJV “They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.” Give God that grateful heart of thanksgiving.Let the weak say , I am strong and let the poor say, I am rich.

THOUGHT: PRAISES MAKES YOU A WINNER ALWAYS.
