There is no specific time that is scheduled to
praising God. Praise is a thing of the heart, praise should not be seen as a
routine, and rather it should be seen as a habit or duty. Seeing praising God
as a routine means that you will have a particular place, way and pattern of
doing it, but seeing praise as a way of life or duty; makes it to become easy
for you to do. You can praise anywhere and at any time because it has become
part of you; and you will derive joy in doing it. (Psalm 145:1-2) "I will exalt you,my God the king; i will praise your name forever and ever. Everyday i will praise you and extol your name forever and ever." giving praise to God should be done
everyday regardless of our circumstances or what we are going through. The
psalmist says “let everything that has breath praise the lord”. For sleeping
and waking up safely; He deserves all praise. As long as you are living on this
planet earth; you must praise the name of the lord most high.
Praise is a journey into God’s heart, so you need
to praise God everyday if you want to be relevant in the kingdom of God
(Isaiah
43:21) "the people i formed for myself that they may praise my name" This verse explains the purpose of our
creation. (To praise God) it is better
to praise God in the midst of adversaries; this will make God to be please with
you, that you are not serving Him basically for the material blessing alone but
for who He is(the supreme being).
Cultivate the habit of praising God everywhere,
at any time and in any situation, do not allow any negative situation to
overrule your reasoning to see reason why you should praising God.
God commanded us to praise Him every time; let us
look a it this way, if you devout your time to praise God; you will be
spiritually vibrant, also your health would be very sound, because when you are
living a life of praise; you would not have time to think of other situations
that is facing you having the understanding that your God is bigger than all
your problems. Magnifying God more than your problems will keep you away from
depression and other health problems.(Colossians 3:16) "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God"
Engaging yourself in ceaseless praise; keeps you
away from problems like gossips and unholy words and thoughts. . Occupying your heart with God’s praise would make
everything that comes from your mouth to be holy, and then you can be rest
assured that you will be able to stand in the presence of God. God wants us to
live a life of increasing praise, praising God have nothing to do with our
circumstances, and our situations. Since His mercies are new every morning and
not every other morning; we need to praise Him daily. (Lamentation 3:22-23)
(Psalm 34:1b) says i will bless the lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth. To praise continually means that you will praise Him in good and
bad days. Praising God can never be out of season because God will always be
relevant forever.
It is good to start
the morning with the praise of the most high, and end the day singing His praise.
We should see praise as a lifestyle, a habit; an
attitude of our heart and soul. Praise should be made to become part of you, if
you want to always be in the presence of God always. If you see praise as part
of you; it will not be difficult for you to praise God anywhere and any time.
Praise is our communication with God therefore we
should be able to praise God in the car, in the kitchen, on the road and so on,
God created us to proclaim His praise. As long as you are still breathing; you owe Him your highest praise.
Do not say you cannot praise God because you have
pending request, or because you lack some material things, nothing should
hinder you from praising your God, not even on sick bed! The bible says in
everything we should give thanks for that is the will of God for you.
(1 Thessalonians 4:18)
