Shout of Praise

Text: Isa.12:6
More Lessons: Psa.98:6-9

Some years ago as a student in Kwara State School of Basic Studies. I was facing a particular situation that made me cry for sometimes. Then I decided to go to an open field to shout praises to God for 30 minutes. Friend, that problem did not last for two days before I got the victory. Next time there is no one around to share your problem with, shout praises unto God. I once asked our father Daddy E.A. Adeboye this question, “Why shout halleluyah?” He replied that Satan hates the shout of Halleluyah. Give your enemy what he hates. When you shout praises because negative things are happening around you, Satan is defeated.

One of my excitements in praise is the secret of it that I understand. There are a few things I know about praises and many things it has done in my life. If there is a multipurpose tablet in the Christian world, that tablet is praise. It reverses the enemy's activities. I have not seen anything that is needful for God that praise is not useful for. Praise is useful for all times. Praise is a singular multi-faceted tool that God has given us. The dimension of praise I want to share with you today is SHOUT. The Bible admonished in the Old Testament that the priests be clothed with righteousness and the saints shout for joy. Praise can be manifested in form of shouting. Isa.12: 6: says, “Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel n the midst of thee”. In this scripture, there s a command; shout. Why? Because of joy. Shout is an expression that goes with joy. In his scripture, it is so clear that one of the ways we can express the presence of God in our midst is with a shout. God's appearances in most occasions in the Old Testament were heralded with shout. When God comes into a situation, there is a shout. This means you can do a shout of praise to invite God into a situation.

Why do we have a shout when God is involved in a matter? This is because shout is an expression or a reaction that God is present in a matter and the presence of God brings greatness into a matter. David said: “Shout for the presence of God in your midst is great” This is because something extraordinary has entered into your midst. You can either use shout to invite the presence of God into a matter or to celebrate God in a situation. These are the wo things you can do with shout. As you shout praises to God, the Lord will arise and destroy your enemies in Jesus' name.
