KEEP YOUR PRAISE UP

2 Timothy 3:16-17
“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the
prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the
whole foundation of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the
doors were opened and every ones bands were loosed”

Psalm 34:1 says “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth”. You must always keep your praise up as a child of God. You must never relent in
praising the Lord. The praise of God must continually be on your lips just as the psalmist says. Therefore whether all is well or not, you must never quit praising the Lord.

Praising God is an act of faith and it must be done from your heart or spirit. When you sincerely want to praise God, you must overlook what may be happening to you and
around you. This is because irrespective of what you are going through, God is still God.

It is your praise in these moments that unlocks doors in your life. Not only that, it tells of your true love for God.

There are many believing folks who only praise or give glory to the Lord when all is well with them. Such folks want to see money in their bank accounts, they want to see their
healing manifest, they want to see the physical manifestation of all that they desire before they praise God. This is more like walking with God in the flesh. You don’t need all those
physical manifestations before making praise your lifestyle.

Paul and Silas, knew this truth. No wonder during the heat of the moment while in prison they lifted up their voices in praise. See: Acts 16:25 “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them”. You see, the prison situation did not make them hold back their praise. That act of faith brought a prison breaking miracle. Forget about whatever you might be facing in life and lift up your voice to praise the Lord.

Keep praising until God shows up.
