PRAISE: A STRONG BUILDER OF FAITH:
Beloved brethren, many of us engage in praise as a beautiful expression of gratitude to God:
and it truly is!
But did you know that praise is also a powerful builder of faith?
While gratitude looks at what God has done, faith is an expression of our confidence in what God is going to do.
And when you praise Him, you are not just thanking Him for the past, you are building your trust for the future.
The military understands this principle perfectly well.
Soldiers are taught to shout and sing, especially when preparing for a battle.
It is not just to intimidate the enemy: it is to build their own confidence and courage!
Similarly, when we engage in praise, we are actively strengthening our confidence in God and His power to see us through any situation.
Anytime your faith feels shaky, or you are facing a challenge that seems too big, engage in praise and worship.
Lift your voice and your heart to God.
As you declare His goodness and faithfulness, your faith will come alive again.
Praise is an act of spiritual warfare that REMINDS your SOUL WHO is IN CONTROL.
Jehoshaphat and his army gives us a perfect example from the Scriptures.
2 Chronicles 20:21-22 KJV:
"And 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 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"
My beloved, please engage in Praise to Build and Boost your Faith today.
