PRAISE!

ACTIVATE GOD’S POWER THROUGH PRAISE BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.

2 Chronicles 20:21-22 TLB “After consultation with the leaders of the people, he determined that there should be a choir leading the march, clothed in sanctified garments and singing the song “His Loving-Kindness Is Forever” as they walked along praising and thanking the Lord! And at the moment they began to sing and to praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to begin fighting among themselves, and they destroyed each other!

Three nations—Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir—had come out against Judah and were ready to attack her. The people of Judah became frantic and began to cry out in fear. However, their king, Jehoshaphat, decided to gather all the people together for a prayer and fasting meeting. As they prayed, God revealed to them the exact location of their enemies’ camp, and gave them a very unique strategy to defeat them: they were not to fight but to sing praises to His Name!

2 Chronicles 20:22 TLB says, “And at the moment they began to sing and to praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to begin fighting among themselves, and they destroyed each other!” The enemies didn’t know what hit them as Judah praised God. You can activate the power of praise just as king Jehoshaphat did; when trouble strikes, praise the Lord and you’ll stir up confusion in satan’s camp.

You don’t have to wait till you feel like singing before you do; just go ahead and make melodies or sing praises to the Lord. No matter how difficult the situation you’re facing seems, praise God in spite of it; He’s bigger than all your challenges combined. Everything is working out for your good, so don’t give up! It’s time you offered to God some unusual praise. Speak and sing joyous tongues of praise and thanksgiving, and as you do, the power of God will move on your behalf, and you’ll have a great miracle.

Hebrews 2:12; Hebrews 13:15

Say these after me, "Dear Lord, I rejoice in you, for you’re the only true and wise God; you’re the King of kings, and Lord of lords! Thank you for making my life beautiful, and for crowning me with victory and success, all the days of my life. Amen.

YOUR LOVEWORLD SPECIALS. SEASON 7, PHASE 2 , DAY 2. 9TH MARCH 2023

I want to welcome you to today's program.  Yesterday we began to talk about God's plan for the nations in this present hour. Psalm 102:13 I explained that He was talking about Israel and describing a certain period, but this church age is very much in line with what the psalmist spoke of here.  Isaiah 49: 7-8 .  "To establish the earth. To cause to inhabit the desolate heritages ". Let's read from the Living bible. Israel will be used by God to do this at the millennial reign of Christ, but this is the church age where the church is sent to the nations of the world. Isn't that the commission that He gave us? He gave us authority to set the prisoners free.  2 Cor 6:1-2 This grace of God that was given to us in Christ Jesus, brings this blessing that Isaiah spoke about, to pass.  We are workers together with Him. He sends us to the world. This was Paul's thinking. No wonder he says "we are ambassadors of Christ as though God did beseech you by us...&quo

Be Generous and Cheerful

Be Generous and Cheerful  As Christians, we should be generous people, giving whatever we can whenever we can. And that doesn't just mean money, we can give help, encouragement, time, talents and forgiveness.  This means we can't let selfishness get in the way. A lot of people are stingy, clinging to what they have and afraid to give it up. Others aren't stingy in their actions, but they are stingy in their hearts, giving because they feel obligated, not because they really want to.  But this isn't the way God calls us to give. Second Corinthians 9:7 tells us, "God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, 'prompt to do it') giver [whose heart is in his giving]."  If you think about it, when we give our lives to God, everything we have is His anyway, it no longer belongs to us. We should be givers, using our resources the way He wants us to.  Give cheerfully today

Very Great in the Little Things

-
This God is our God. — Psalm 48:14 “God is great in great things, but very great in little things,” says Henry Dyer. A party stood on the Matterhorn admiring the sublimity of the scene, when a gentleman produced a pocket microscope and having caught a fly, placed it under the glass. He reminded us that the legs of the household fly in England are naked, then called attention to the legs of this little fly which were thickly covered with hair; thus showing that the same God who made the lofty Swiss mountain attended to the comfort of His tiniest creatures, even providing socks and mittens for the little fly whose home these mountains were. This God is our God! A doubting soul beheld a robin’s nest in a gigantic elm and heard a still small voice saying, “If God spent a hundred years in creating a tree like that for a bird, He will surely take care of you.” God is so interested that He takes us one by one and arranges for every detail of our life. To Him, there are no
