Psalm 100:1-5 “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

Few things to note:

(1) It is not actions that command the results but it’s an act with a right revelation. 1 Samuel 2:3 “Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.”

If your praise must be acceptable you must praise with the right revelation.

(2) God desires praise from all men but does not accept all praises.

Psalm 7:11,17…v 11 “God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.”…v 17 “I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.”

Anyone’s life that isn’t moving in line with God’s will, his praise is an abomination to God. Before your praise must be acceptable you must have a deep relationship with Him.ImageSecrets of acceptable praise:

Life of purity:

Habakkuk 1:13 “Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?”

Inequity deflates the intensity of praise. If you pay more attention to your relationship with God, you’ll pay less attention to witches and demons because they will fear to harm your life. Praise becomes a mockery of God where inequity is available.

Psalm 66:18 “If I regard inequity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.”

If inequity is on ground, praise is only an exercise.

Reward of Praise

Grace is multiplied: Enlargement of capacity to handle situations/controversies that are larger than you to handle. Grace and peace multiplies through quality praise. Grace covers your deficiencies and multiplies your strength.
