praise is appreciating God for who He is. Your appreciation then leads you to worshipping Him. The Bible tells us that praise is comely to God (Ps. 147:1) and that it is a good thing to praise Him (Ps. 92: l). We are also told that God inhabits praise (Ps. 22:3). He loves praises and loves being praised. No wonder then that the Bible commands:
let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.(Psalm 67:3)
Praise is cardinal to the believer, as it is his cheapest access to God. Since God inhabits praise, it is your surest access to the miraculous. No matter how great the opposition, it does not require more than praise to handle it.

Praise was all it took to get Paul and Silas out of the Macedonian jail (Acts 16:25-26). Unfortunately, the power of praise is not fully understood in the Church. Some think praise is just a church activity and what you do while you wait for others to join you in church.
Praise is the fastest ladder to your high places in life. Developing a lifestyle of praise is what you need to be more than a conqueror.
Proverbs 13: 15 says, "Good understanding giveth favour...
You need a good understanding of praise in order to enjoy its benefits. Knowing what you stand to gain through praises will probably help you see what I mean. So, let me show you the wonders that abound in praise.
Provokes Divine Presence

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.( Psalm 22:3)
Praise compels God's presence, because it is His natural habitat. God cannot but respond to praise. As much as God wants to be with you all the time, His presence is not automatic; praise is the price you must pay for it, That is 2 Chronicles 15:2 says, "The Lord is with you, while ye be with him..." And Romans 8:31 asks, "If God be for us, who can bc against us!" That means when you are in praise, you are in God, and if you are in God, you are unbeatable, because His presence will naturally distinguish you. As the children of Israel praised God on their way out of Egypt to the Promised Land, God was their sanctuary. The sea saw them and fled (Ps. 114).
This is one of our secrets of triumph. Every outstanding accomplishment our ministry is enjoying today only cost us praise. Blany decades have passed since we began this journey of faith, and we have seen God at work; we have seen Him taking the lead and causing everything to work for us. As we praised Him, He came on the scene and His presence caused us to enyoy ease and speed.
Likewise, the greatest events of your life won't need more than presence; and it takes nothing more than your heart-felt praise to provoke His presence. If you determine to give Him genuine praises the remaining days of your life, the difference will be clear. God's presence will answer to You, and that which you thought impossible will cheaply come to pass in your life.

When you praise Him like Paul and Silas did in the prison, He will show up in every area of Your life and convert your reproach to dignity, just as He stepped into the prison in an earthquake, flung the gates open, causing everyone's chains to fall off (Acts 16:23-40)!
Who is like into thee, O LORD, among the God's? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Exodus 15:11).

Praise compels the manifestation of divine power on your behalf. God does fearful and wonderful acts in praises. You will never know how powerful your God is, until you stir Him up in praise. Your unreserved praise is what moves Him into action in your favour. We have recorded diverse testimonies of healings and other fearful acts of God in church; and they were all wrought while we were praising Him.
Give God a chance to do something fearful in your life by just giving Him quality praise from the depth of your heart, mind what the situation may look like; God is never late, so give Him praise! The Bible assures us that the battle is not yours, but God's. Be not afraid or dismayed; rather, set yourself, stand still and you will see the salvation of the Lord (2 Chron. 20:17). You set yourself through praise. I see the power of God answer to you in praises from henceforth!
Good to hear from you TH, Thanks for sharing with Us!

Praises are like food unto God, we are engineering the handwork of God by rendering him praises, we must know that as Christians our voice and our body should be God's instrument of praise, we exist to glorify the essence of God as human beings, and when we praise God it spurs him to wroth deliverance and breakthrough just like Paul and Silas
Praise is the spiritual medium through which God takes over our battles. He said, “Set yourselves, do what I command you to do, and watch me in action as I take over your battle.” When the battle looks stronger than your capacity, wisdom demands that you pass it over to the One, who can deal with it. Praise is not a religious entertainment; it’s a spiritual weapon of war. Praise is a spiritual weapon that passes your battle over to God. Praise is not feeling good; it is stirring God into action.
Acclaim is the profound medium through which God assumes control over our fights. He stated, "Set yourselves, do what I charge you to do, and watch me in real life as I assume control over your fight." When the fight looks more grounded than your ability, intelligence requests that you ignore it to the One, who can manage it. Acclaim is definitely not a religious amusement; it's an otherworldly weapon of war. Acclaim is an otherworldly weapon that disregards your fight to God. Acclaim isn't resting easy; it is blending God enthusiastically.
nice post
God bless you brother, with praise we please the Lord, we adore him, we magnify him, it is a subtle way of connecting with our Lord and showing him our love and gratitude for life, for breathing for loving Him for us, for allowing us to be his feet. Let's praise at all times and wherever we are.
what an impressive article. really liked your thoughts and the goodmessage, sensational
The Bible says when praises goes up, His Blessings come down.. Praising God is a essential ways of Life for Christians, we can not acknowledge God unless we Praise him..
Praising God is Thanking God for the Things he has done!
Woah IK, nice article. Really informative. I think it was really nice of you to enlighten christians about the power of praise. Because most times we christians, focus on only prayer. But you can actually pray amiss, but you can never praise admist. Praise makes God descend into your situations and glorify himself through it. So kudos, dear. More grace.
Most of the times I take praises to be my prayers, because I believe he knows my needs, so I just thank him for what he has done and even thank him for what I wanted to ask for, with faith that I have already received it. And miraculously I do receive them.
Nice one tikhub
