MFM Daily Devotional 2 December 2022 OUTLINE
Yesterday, we noted that many believers are missing out on the wonderful benefits of praise and that heaven is not happy about that. We also identified that the reason such people are not enjoying the blessings of praise is their wrong attitude, and advocated praise attitude adjustment. People’s wrong attitude towards praise and the attendant consequences are due to two reasons. First, such people do not know the values or benefits of praise. Hence, they abuse and under-utilise it. Second, they do not know how to praise God.
Therefore, we will now address these two issues. The wonders of praise cannot be overestimated. We are created to praise and worship God. The spirit beings in heaven are devoted to praise and worship (Revelation 4 and 5). With our praise, we throw the spotlight on our God who deserves to be glorified. The more we put the spotlight on Him, the more He causes us to shine. Praise grants us intimacy with God. It is the antidote and cure to depression, discouragement, failure, defeat, pain and sorrow, especially in the last days that are characterised by disturbing events and signs.

Praise brings God into every situation. It opens prison doors and sets prisoners free. It wins battles. It brings healing. It releases the anointing, brings solutions and breaks yokes. It is a formidable weapon of warfare for wise and discerning believers. Dear reader, I enjoin you to develop the right praise attitude. Cultivate a lifestyle of daily and continuous praise to God. You will experience the power of God’s abiding, indwelling and empowering presence. How should you praise God?
Knowing this will also help you to develop the right attitude towards praise and make it a lifelong habit. Praise has many forms of expression. Psalm 150 outlines nine different ways to praise God. You can speak, shout, sing, clap your hands or raise them. You can play musical instruments; you can stand, kneel or dance. Whichever of these or a combination of these you choose, just make sure you give God heart-felt worship and high praise continually. Praise God for who He is (Psalm 150:1). Praise His name (Psalm 113:1; Psalm 135:1-3). Praise His mighty acts (Psalm 150:2). Praise Him evermore
