Daily word for spiritual strength
My question to you today is this: Are you experiencing the victory of praise in your life. Have considered the power and privileges available to you through praise?
Let me show you few of these privileges from the word of God.
Praise is an instrument of warfare (2 Chronicle 20)
Praise as a demonstration of our faith in God. In Roman 4: 20 we are told that Abraham He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. One of the ways we can both demonstrate and build a strong faith in our lives is to learn to give glory. One way we can give glory to God is to believe Him, praise Him and holding unto His word despite the negative circumstances of life. Only those who believe God is in control of their lives and their situations can live such a life. But the truth is that we cannot enjoy the life of God until we learn to give glory to Him by demonstrating our faith in Him through praise on a daily basis.
The Bible teaches that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God.
Until the fear of God is in place, there can’t be any Access to the Spirit of wisdom and revelation from God. The God type of wisdom that makes your face to shine in the dark seasons of life and make your star brighter despite the unfavorable circumstances of life, results from the fear of God.
In order to experience a breakthrough, it is necessary to understand what it is and why we need it.
These are some explanations what is meant when we talk about breakthrough:
Breakthrough – it destroys any barriers (satanic or human) that put limitations in our lives.
Breakthrough – it changes your tragedies into testimonies.
Breakthrough – it turns your illnesses into wellbeing.
Breakthrough – it changes your disappointments into opportunities.
Breakthrough – it provides transition from hardships to comfort.
Breakthrough always changes a person’s status and position. Today, I want to draw your attention to the fact that in this story, not only the crippled man experienced a breakthrough but also Peter and John, the Apostles. Not only the cripples need a breakthrough. Every person needs a breakthrough!
Along with the crippled man, also Peter and John, the Apostles, experienced a breakthrough, because miracles that had not happened beforein through their ministry took place exactly on that day. Ever since then, different miracles never ceased in their lives and ministries. Even the shadow of Peter who started healing the sick as he passed by them. Imagine what will happen to you when you begin to experience a continual breakthrough in every sphere of your life.
A breakthrough moves us from weakness to strength. This crippled man’s feet and ankles were weak, therefore he could not walk. When God gave him a breakthrough, his feet and ankles immediately became strong. «…7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. » (Acts 3:7).
Getting accustomed to the situation.
Very often people get used to their situations and will not try to do anything to change their state of being. This lame guy got used to sitting on the same spot for 40 years and probably did not believe in any change any more.
I read this story about one dog that has been tied to a pillar. Each time the dog tried to run, she felt the restriction. After several attempts the dog got used to its position. And even after this dog was untied, it still continued to move around only within the habitual radius.
Go for the best that God has in store for your life. Sometimes we slow down our breakthrough because we choose survival instead of coveting abundant life. Jesus has come that we may have life and life in abundance, instead of just having small drops of blessings. Let us look at the story of the lame man in the book of Acts of Apostles.
