The Place of Praise in the Healing of the Nations

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Praise unlocks divine blessings. Divine blessings are myriad and diverse. You can unlock divine blessings through praise; I mean quality, genuine and glorious praise of God and to God. The praise to God and for God flows from your heart in appreciation of who God is to God and for God. Such praise is not designed for showmanship that you are the best singer or the one who knows how best to praise God. No. such praise is your acknowledgment of God’s supremacy, sovereignty, Lordship and headship over you, that He is your Creator and you are grateful to Him for who He is. In essence, you celebrate God for who He is and not necessarily for what He did or what He will do for you. You celebrate Him because He is God.

God appreciates such praise and inhabits such praises – meaning that if you always praise God, you will always be filed with the indwelling presence of God. Please see Psalm 22 verse 3.

Praise is also a worthy sacrifice to God (Psalm 50 verse, Jeremiah Chapter 33 verse 11 and Hebrews Chapter 13 verse 15) and if offered from the depths of the heart with genuine and best intent, praise becomes a precious seed (Psalm 126 verses 5 to 6) that always yields bountiful harvests of joy, peace, increase, salvation, deliverance, abundance, protection, celebration, victories and promotions (Psalm 67 verses 1 to 7).
