God is Great and Greatly!

 Hi friends,

As we journey this eternal highway heavenward, there are incidences and situations that tend to want to make us forget the greatness of God and how beautiful He is for every situation.

It is therefore imperative that we remind ourselves so we do not forget to praise God greatly.

Psalms 48:1-2 says:

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God,

 in the mountain of His holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy

of the whole earth, is mount Zion on the sides of the north, the

 city of the great King.

 There is every need to praise God not just any how but greatly because He is great and also does great things. He proves Himself beautiful for every situation of the pilgrim’s life no matter how ugly men may classify it.

As pilgrims, we need to come to the realization that praise is all we owe the Lord God Almighty who is lord of this kingdom highway. Praise is also our weapon to fight the devil- our arch enemy.

Praise to this great God grants us access to His divine presence and angelic assistance. It also brings speedy answers to prayers and supplication. Praise moves God and brings down His divine presence.

When we praise God greatly as He deserves, He gives beauty for every ashes and turns disgrace to grace. He gives the oil of gladness and joy which protects the soul.

When Jehovah Saboath is greatly praised, mountains move of their own accord and enemies are thrown into outright confusion like in the war between Jehoshaphat and the three nations that encamped against Judah as recorded in 2Chronicles 20.

There might be thistles and thorns of affliction on this journey heavenward but praising God as greatly as He deserves brings joy to the pilgrim which is a weapon of both defense and for the believer.

Praise is said to be the plural of prayer. Prayer moves the hand of God but praise moves God Himself and imagine when it is done greatly! Little, wonder Psalms 50 tells us that whoever praises God honors Him and paves way for his salvation. 

Keep praising God greatly and blessing the Almighty God who has times and seasons in His mighty hands until we meet at the gates of the golden city on the eternal shores!
