Hello Friends, I am glad to inform you today that God has make a provision for us to overcome in life. One of the instruments of daily victory is praise and worship and we will be talking about that today. 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)In the story in this book, we read about how a great army of aggressors came against King Jehoshaphat and his people.
“It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle”
Jeshoshaphat has no idea how to handle this great company, so his first reaction was fear. However, he quickly turned unto God:
“And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah” (2 Chronicle 20: 3).
Jeshoshaphat confessed his trust in the Lord
“O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee”. (2 Chronicle 20: 12).
Are you faced with some giants in your life right now? Are you afraid because some sudden situations has surfaced in your life that you have no idea how to tackle? Well, I have good news for you today: Follow the example of King Jehoshaphat and turn to the Lord. Confess your trust in Him, praise Him and harness the power imbedded in praise and it will surprise you what the Lord will do.Praise was the strategy of victory King Johoshaphat used to overcome his enemies. Let’s read how it happened:
“And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. 19And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high. 20And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 21And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. 22And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another” (2 Chronicle 20: 16-23).
Praise is still a weapon of victory till now. When God say we should praise him, it is not because He is in need of praise. He only wants us to focus on him through our praise instead of focusing on our problems or meditating on the power our enemies.As you decide to live a lifestyle of praise the Lord from today on, invisible walls of opposition will crumble in your life. God will set ambushments against the enemies of your destiny and victories will not depart from your life in Jesus Name.Remember, praise is a weapon of war and Life is a battle as we know, so you will need to master the art of praise through daily practice.God bless you guide you into your victory this day! See you tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • The Importance of God’s will

    Today I would like to start talking about „The Importance of God’s will”. The Holy Scripture says: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven” (Mathew, 7: 21). The Bible calls every one of us to have sound mind, especially in learning the will of God for his or her life.«Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is» (Ephesians, 5:18).Why is it so important to allocate some time for seeking out the will of God? Why is understanding of God’s will so necessary for a person? It is because the understanding of God’s will determine both our happiness here, on earth, and our status in the future, in eternity.

    “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him”In the above passage, Jesus saw two brothers trying to catch fish by the sea side and immediately recognized that they have a better destiny, so He instructed them to follow Him. This word of God to you today is this: Follow me and I will make you.Do you know that you are not all you could be yet? Only the Lord knows who you are created to be and He wants to make you become who you are really created to be. That is why He said “I will make you”.

    Today I would like to continue talking about the importance of God’s Word.We saw what God spoke through Moses that God’s Word is our life. We also talked about the fact that our attitude towards the Word can either prolong our life or shorten it. We have already seen in the parables of Jesus that our attitude towards God’s Word determines the strength of our foundation, our life and all the things we are building. Yesterday we also talked about the fact that God’s Word is able to change our disappointments into joy, bankruptcy – into abundance. We saw all of it in the life of Peter. I would like for us to look at the verses that talk about Peter when he was utterly failing and ready to give up.

    Church is being built by Jesus Who said: «Follow Me, and I will make you». It means that until you start following Jesus there are not guarantees that your life will change. Changes do not result from religious activities; they are a result of following Jesus.
