Topic: I Will Praise My God
Text - Isaiah 61:3
•Thanksgiving is the gathering of feast to celebrate God.
•Thanksgiving is also a show of gratitude in expectation of what you know God will do in your life.
•Every thanksgiving is usually accompanied by giving away a sacrificial offering.
•Thanksgiving is usually a celebration of time and there's no celebration without quality praise - Psalm 147:1-5
WHY DO WE PRAISE?
1). Praise is an expression of reference to God for his awesomeness.
2). It focuses on the efficacy (power and might) of God's word and not on your problem.
3). Praising God is shifting your focus and strength to magnify God and it is not complete until the word of prophecies (inspired utterances) are released in your life - Isaiah 25:1
•Every quality praise creates a response from God - Isaiah 42:8, Ezekiel 12:25
•God is not a man that He should lie, He does what He says - Numbers 23:19
•If you're praising God, praise with expectation - Proverbs 23:18
•Thanksgiving opens doors for your testimonies to be heard.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ENGAGE IN PRAISE
1). Speedy release of your blessings/miracles - Matthew 21:2
2). Supernatural healing - Luke 17:17,19
Thanksgiving inspires your faith for the next level.
3). The wondrous acts of God - Exodus 15:11
He terrorises your enemies and swallows your troubles.
QUALITIES OF ACCEPTABLE PRAISE
1). It must come from your heart - Psalm 111:1
2). It must be done with joy - Psalm 149:2
3). It must be demonstrated - Isaiah 9:7
HOW TO KEEP YOUR HOPE ALIVE WHILE YOU PRAISE GOD
1). Always remember that you are connected to God.
2). Focus on God's word.
3). Remember your past testimonies.
•Faith is a creative force, so when you praise, release your faith to work.
•Our faith in God is a speaking faith
•The strength of your faith is a function of your hope in Christ.
