Hello , today I'll be talking about praise at that open stores . There are times in my life where I'm a bit low , or other times I'm very energetic and all I want to do is listen to songs and dance . And today I just want to talk about praise at open stores . What is praise ? Praise is a duration to a higher deity , it is worship . It is offering songs and dance to the one in whom you believe in , to the one in whom you worship , according to the Bible in Colossians 316 , and it says Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through sounds , hymns , songs from the Spirit singing to God with gratitude in your hearts . So what are some of these doors that then you ought to sing and to praise and to dance to the one , through God , that he might open ? Doors are defined as openings or entrances or barriers to either a building or place , and when it comes to spiritual matters , it could be an opportunity , a life journey , process that you're going through beat a workplace , beat marriage , transitioning from one place to another . There are draws that are then presented before you that , even after much help , prayer and working towards it , they do , then present themselves as opportunities that you are able to walk in through . And these doors we are to choose either to walk in them , be it that they are good doors or bad doors . But today we shall be focusing on praise . That opens doors . So why is praise important ? Why should I praise that a certain door may be opened ? You may be undergoing so much anxiety and stress and you just need to pray and praise God so that in the midst of your praise , then your heart settles down , then your mind is at peace , that the one through God is working all things out for your good .

Speaker 1 2:29

The Word of God in Matthew 7 , verse 11 . It says if you then though you are evil know how to give good gifts to your children , how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask of Him ? So if we are given praise , if somebody comes to me and tells me I must say thank you for what you've done , I must say thank you for everything that you have done for me , how much more will I be able to extend the goodness towards them ? Now think about God . When you go back to God and , with a grateful heart , you're able to say God , thank you for what you have done . God , thank you for what you continue to do , and God , thank you that I have put my whole hope and trust in you . How much more is God able to give you ?

Speaker 1 3:22

So today , I will tell you why I praise . I praise when I'm at peace , when I don't even need to ask God for anything . I do praise God why he is the author and the finisher of my faith . He is the one who deserves all my adoration and my worship , and so I give it to Him . And when also , do I praise ? I praise when I'm at rest , when I know that the battle at hand , the situation that I'm trusting Him for that he got them . And then I also praise because I know God has all these things sorted out for me . And then I also praise when my moods are low and I need to be uplifted . I put on some praise and I begin to sing songs of praise and my mood gets lifted up .

Speaker 1 4:15

So why is praise important ? It is important to praise the one in whom we worship , because a heart of gratitude is a heart that is able to give thanks to God . And , secondly , a heart of honor is a heart that acknowledges , not by might , not by my power , but by your spirit , o God , that you're able to do all things for me , and a heart of submission , a heart that is able to be teachable before the presence of the Lord . Where he tells you , you go , you go . When he tells you to stop , you stop . And when he tells you you know , you do know that he is doing all these things for your good .

So let us read through Psalms 95 and verse 1 to 3 . Come , let us sing for joy to the Lord , let us shout aloud to the rock of our salvation , let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song , for the Lord is the great God , the great King above all gods . So I urge you today praise God with all that you have , with all that is within you , because he created you to praise Him , and indeed , you will begin to see that the various doors that you're trusting Him for will begin to open . So let us pray . Father , in the name of Jesus Christ . We thank you , we glorify you because you are good and you are God . We praise your holy name because you are the one who is the lifter of our heads .

Speaker 1 6:03

And , father , we praise you because we know that praise opens doors . And so , father , we want to say give us lips of praise and to put in our hearts songs that we may sing back to you . Oh God , melodies , oh God and Father , we thank you for that which you have done for us in the past and you continue to do for us even today and in the future . Father , we thank you because we know that praise does open things , open doors for us . Indeed , oh God , we give you praise and we give you adoration because you are the one who was and is and is to come , and you are the one we choose to praise on this day .
