Your Promise fuels your Praise

Bonjour! 

Welcome to Operation PUSH  Day 3. 
We are basing today's prayer session on 2 Chronicles 29:30 

A promise from God is as good as it gets, there is no shortfall, no changing His mind; God is just looking for someone who will take Him at His word and praise their way through because God will bring you out of your trouble and He will lead you into all His goodness. The Apostle Paul encourages us to fight the good fight of faith because the enemy is always lurking in the background of our thoughts trying to sow seeds of doubt about God’s promises. I know when the situation seems bigger than us it is very difficult to stay in faith, but, this is reason God gives us a promise – the promise fuels our faith and leads us to praise.

The Bible teaches us that God inhabits the praises of his people (Psalm 22:3). God is with us all the time in the person of the Holy Spirit, but when we praise God based on his goodness, faithfulness, and love for us, we experience a manifested presence of God where miracles can happen. So when we establish in our hearts God is who he says he is, the more faith we can express in his promises, and those promises will fuel our praise.

King Jehoshaphat got the promise from God, and he believed. He set out to do what God had told him. He gathered the people the next day and gave them a pep talk based on the promise he got from God, and they got ready to take their positions for war. It is marvelous the way God calls us to war, and it is not the way of the world. The Apostle Paul tells us our weapons are not carnal but mighty through God-(2 Corinthians 10:4). In every battle, we must learn to stand in faith believing God's promise, praise him, and he will show up and fight for you.

Armed with priests and singers, they were ready for battle. To the army on the other side this might have looked ridiculous on every level, they must have thought "We have the victory in this one" and probably laughed at the situation. But little did they know this army would not fight this battle in their own strength, but the God of the universe would show up and defend them. So too, know that God never changes, and if he did it back then for King Jehoshaphat, he would do it again for you. When all else is lost, when it looks impossible, as long as you have a promise from God, you are positioned for the victory as you stand and declare the goodness of your God. King Jehoshaphat did no war chant, but they stood and gave thanks to the Lord. They focused their praise on their God and how good, faithful, kind and loving he was, establishing that his qualities would last forever. 

"When you need God to answer a prayer you ask God for a promise; and when God gives you a promise, having prayed for the promise, then you start to praise from the promise – pray for the promise and then praise from the promise." - George Muller

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

THE NAKED MARRIAGE

Welcome dear Readers, You must be thinking that I want to talk about sex today. But hey, we will be talking about that plus a lot more. True intimacy requires what happens in the bedroom plus a lot more. In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve, the first couple. They lived in an ideal world; no debt, no no crazy in laws, no baggage, no stress, no fighting and and also, NO CLOTHING! (Gen 2:25) When God reveals unto us a naked marriage, He is revealing to us something more than just walking around the house with no clothes on or just sex. He is revealing the importance of TRANSPARENCY, VULNERABILITY,ACCEPTANCE and INTIMACY at every level of the relationship. I am suggesting we become more intentional about working on our relationships this way. Love is honest. Love is trust. You open yourself to temptations when you decide not to live in a naked marriage. These temptations have led many down the path of doom. My husband used to believe trust in a marriage is a sacrifice.
