MY PRAISE IS A WEAPON

January 24, 2024 • Dr Zubeda Sing, Pastor Zubeda Sing

I called on the LORD, who is worthy of praise,

and he saved me from my enemies. 2 Samuel 22v4

 

When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him. What is the standard for my life in the midst of being tormented by the enemies of lack, insufficiency, sickness etc. my standard is the weapon of praise. Sing and dance before the Lord with great joy, raise your voice and give a shout. Infuse your spirit man with the praise of the greatness of our God. Praise is a form of lubricant in our joints that causes us to jump up and shout out even though the pain of being tormented by the devil seems very strong.


Praise, like prayer, is a weapon provided in the arsenal God has given us. When the children of Israel sang and shouted before the Lord around the walls of Jericho, the walls came down. King David could only dance in abandonment (tehillah) before the Lord as the ark of the covenant was brought into the city of Jerusalem. What a sight that must have been.

 

Take some time out for you to shout and praise the Lord and do not worry about your neighbour or family as this kind of praise chases away the devil and his cohorts. He cannot tolerate the praise as this deafens his attack on you. The attack he uses is words, you use your words of praise to silence him. Go for it. Put your praise on, give a shout of praise.

 

CONFESSION/PRAYER

I will dance and sing and praise my God with thanksgiving. I will lift up your name in the sanctuary. I will give thanks at the mention of your name. I will not hold back in fear, Praise is my defence against the wiles of the devil. I am a worshiper of my God.
