Is Praise a Tool Or Weapon for Warfare?

 


Praise be to God the creator of the heaven and the earth! Our God is wonderful and worthy of all the praise for whom He is.

I know you might be asking yourself the question above, you wonder if praise can be a tool for spiritual warfare. Yes, praise is a very powerful tool in times of spiritual warfare. 

I believe that you have different tools or weapons that help you during spiritual warfare in your life, some tools or weapons like:-

1.      The word of God

2.      The blood of Jesus

3.      Worship

4.      Sacrifice

5.      Prayer and fasting

The above list can be endless according to the revelation the Lord gives you. But today I want us to learn of Praise as the tool or weapon that can help you during spiritual warfare.

In the Book of Joshua Chapter 6 the bible talks of Jericho being shut that no one could get in or come out but we see how God instructs Joshua to order people to give praise to God for the falling of the walls.


Jos 6:1  Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 

Jos 6:2  And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. 

Jos 6:16  And it came to pass at the seventh time when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city. 

The second case in the bible is when Paul and Silas in the prison rose from the sleep at midnight and begun to give praise to God and the happening that took place was able to set them free from the bondage. 


Act 16:25  And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 

Act 16:26  And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. 

With the two examples above we learn that when we face spiritual warfare or battle a time we just need to give God praise and we shall see the wonders God will do for us.

He is my friend

 Do you have a friend?   Do you know the friend Jesus? Every person tends to have a friend in life and those who lack friends in their lives are considered to be less fortunate in the society or even in the assembly of brethren because the friendship is tagged to a given value or price in life. When people come together to make friends they are aiming at a given objective or goal to achieve. I want us to look unto Jesus Christ as a friend but before that let us learn some types of friends/friendship. We have different kinds or types of friendships in our daily encounters in life as we interact with people. The following are some of just example that we find in the bible: - 1.       Covenantal friends or friendship This is the type where the two or more come together and binds themselves in a covenant of friendship. The aim here is to protect one another from the danger of life and to grant everyone safety. A good example of this from the bible is David...

I will serve the Lord for in Him there is my safety!

 Many of the times have you ever asked yourself why God will always deliver us from any affliction or bondage? I believe that we will have different answers one to another, but let us read from the book of Exodus in the Bible when God was sending Moses to set free the children of Israel from the captivity of the Egyptians.  (Exo 3:7)  And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; (Exo 3:8)  And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. (Exo 3:9)  Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress th...

Longing for Zion in a foreign Land

 What is the longing of your heart? Where do you desire to be after the life of this world? I know these questions ring in your mind too. As you are working very hard serving God you have some hope just like Apostle Paul said that the hope of his life is to receive an uninterruptible crown that is not given by men but by the Lord Jesus Christ (1Co 9:25  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. ). I believe we all hope for the crown but just as Paul we must serve labor on this earth serving God and preaching the good tidings which is the gospel or the Goodnews from the Lord Jesus Christ. That hope and longing is godly but it matters the land where you are. The place we long to be with the Lord after this world is Zion the city of the Lord that is full of righteousness of God but we live in a foreign land that is compared to Babylon the rejected land that is full of immora...
