Dunamis Sunday 19 December 2021 Message | The Lifting Power of Praise
END OF YEAR IMPARTATION SERVICE – SUNDAY, 19TH DECEMBER 2021
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): HABAKKUK 3:17-19
MESSAGE TOPIC: THE LIFTING POWER OF PRAISE
SERVICE OBJECTIVE(S): Understanding the lifting power of Praise
By: Dr Paul Enenche
Praise is a supernatural lifter of man
Praise is the power to be raised
High praises is the doorway to the high places of life
If the devil cannot stop you from praising God, the devil cannot stop you from going up
– You are going up to your high places!
SCRIPTURAL EXAMPLES OF THOSE LIFTED BY PRAISE
David went up by the power of praise (Ps. 27:10)
WHAT IS THE LIFTING POWER OF PRAISE?
1. Praise releases supernatural strength for supernatural strides and lifts (Hab. 3:17-19)
When you praise God you access supernatural strength and with supernatural strength your rise is inevitable
2. Praise releases the mantle and the unction for royalty (Gen. 29:35; 49:10)
Any king that was a relevant king was from the tribe of Judah
For as long as praise is on ground, royalty and rulership are inevitable
If you know how to praise God, you are either a king or a king in the making
3. Praise releases Divine favour and Divine favour is responsible for Divine lifting (Acts 2:47; Gen. 39:21-22)
A prisoner can become a prison warden by the power of favour
You cannot praise God and lack favour and you cannot be favoured and not be lifted
4. Praise delivers from depression; the garment of praise is the cure for the spirit of depression (Isa. 61:3; Ps. 42:5, 11)
To be weighed down is to be tied down; to be weighed down is to be slowed down and kept down
Once you step out of depression, the next thing left for you is elevation
5. Praise is a trigger for the anointing and the anointing is key to lifting (Ps. 45:7; Ps. 92:1-3, 10)
The climate of gladness will produce oil that will take you above your fellows
KEYS TO THE LIFTING POWER OF PRAISE:
1. Praise and worship God as a matter of life assignment (Isa. 43:21; Ps. 102:16-18)
When you fulfil your assignment you are qualified for your consignment and upliftment
2. Praise and worship God for Who He is and not just for what He does (Ps. 29:2; Ex. 15:11)
Praise God for His Person and not just for His products
Let your praise seek His face and not just His hand
God is not a God to be used, He is a God to be praised and worshipped
If God is not familiar with your voice of worship in times of peace, He will never respond to your voice of worry in times of trouble
Relationship must precede request
Let your relationship with God be buoyant and your prayer request from Him will be vibrant
3. Praise and worship God in the clearness of conscience (Ps. 29:2; Matt. 5:16)
PRAYERS
