PRAISE
By Hector Morais
Praise is an expression of worship and the bible says that GOD inhabits in the praises of his peoples (Psalms 22:3). All believers are commanded to praise God! In fact, Isaiah 43:21 explains that praise is one reason we were created, “This people I have formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise.” Hebrews 13:15 confirms this: “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise – the fruit of lips that confess his name.”
Praise to GOD is a LIFESTYLE and an expression of our FAITH and should not only be limited when peoples are gathering in Church. In all circumstances and situation throughout our daily life we need to pause and learn to Praise GOD at all times. Praise to the Lord brings the refreshing of the Lord’s presence, along with His power and anointing. “…I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalms 34:1).
There are many biblical expressions of Praise, Declaring of thanks (Heb. 13:15), Clapping hands and shouting (Psalms 47:1), Musical instruments and dancing (Psalms 150:4), Singing praise songs (Psalms 9:11), Psalms, hymns, & spiritual songs (Eph. 5:19-20), Making a joyful noise (Psalms 98:4), By lifting our hands (Psalms 134:2), By being still (Psalms 4:3-5, 46:10), By being loud (Psalms 33:3, 95:1-6) and many more but all are centred into to acknowledge our awesome GOD and praising HIM for the gift of life.
