ACCEPTABLE PRAISES!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13 AMP).
Not every praise is acceptable before God! Some people just sing for the fun of it and do not connect in their spirit unto the Lord. You can sing, clap, shout,lift your hands and even dance without actually praising God. The motive behind your praise determines its acceptance before God or otherwise.
Praising God requires genuineness. It should be heartfelt. If your heart is not involved you are not qualified to praise God. This is the only condition under which you are permitted to praise God and this is what make praises acceptable before God. When your praise is acceptable before God your life and destiny becomes colourful and outstanding before men.
Like Hannah said,
" Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed." (1 Samuel 2:3 KJV)
He is a God of knowledge, you cannot deceive Him with mere praises. He weighs every clap,shout, song and all actions in praise before they are acceptable for blessings. God is more concerned about your heart than the fruit of your lips. He is more concerned with the state of your heart before rewarding the praise in your mouth. Therefore your heart must be in alignment with your mouth for your praise to become acceptable to Him.
God is not mocked, whatever you sow determines your harvest. If your praise is un-serious you will receive nothing from God. The state of your heart as you praise Him determines His response to you. When you praise Him with all your heart, your praise will be acceptable before Him. If you want results from your praise experience make sure your heart is genuinely involved in your praises. Whenever you praise Him from the bottom of your heart, you compel His presence and when God arises all the enemies will be scattered.
Go out today and begin to prepare your heart for proper and acceptable praises to God. Connect yourself to God in high praises of thanksgiving from your heart and see the glory of His presence.
Today's Prayer.
Father, henceforth I will seek you with all of my heart and my soul in praise and worship in Jesus name. Praise God!
