Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 27, Day 4: Wednesday, 5th July 2023. Topic: RISK TAKERS 4.Risking Praise In Challenge

“20. And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

21. And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

What do we do when things aren’t working our ways? What do we say when we’ve tried all our best but still end in futility? How do we go about reoccurring failures around us? When all roads seem blocked and we’re caged, what is the easiest risk to take? Praising God for His awesomeness. Praise Him for what He has done, what He will do and How He will do it in His own ways. Most times we wait for someone to cajole us to Praise God even when things are good. We wait for reasons to give God Praise which is not meant to be so. May I let you know that, Praises in challenging time is a risk that need to be taken always.

King Jehoshaphat saw a great opposition which is enough to swallow Judah all at once. He didn’t wait for God’s Instructions for Praise but he declared the Praise of God against the weapons of war, they danced and sang in the presence of their enemies vividly. Praising God is a risk to be taken seriously and daily in the face of opposition. When you Praise Him He shows you why He is God. Let’s take the risk of praise today, no matter the situation, risk His praises in your heart today.

Good Day and God Bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
