OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: MONDAY 2ND NOVEMBER 2026
TOPIC: PRAISE THE LORD
MEMORIZE:
"Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise." Psalm 98:4 (KJV)
BIBLE READING: PSALM 67:5-7
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
MESSAGE:
God delights in His people praising Him. In fact, He loves the praises of His children so much that He inhabits it (Psalm 22:3). In Psalm 50:23, He said that anyone who praises Him is glorifying Him, and He promised to show His salvation to those who order their conversations aright. This further reveals how much God wants His children to praise Him.
When God's children praise Him, He fights their battles for them. This is what happened in (2 Chronicles 20:1-25), when three great kings conspired against King Jehoshaphat. The people of Judah praised God, and He defended them. God made the three kings and their armies fight and kill each other without the children of Judah lifting a sword. To top it all, Jehoshaphat and his people spent three days gathering the spoils of a war they never fought in.
Another good example of God fighting on behalf of His children who praise Him is found in Acts 16:25-26:
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 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.
I pray that God will fight for you, too, as you praise Him today, in Jesus' name.
I remember the story of a Christian brother who shared the secret of his bumper harvests every year. According to him, after planting, he goes around his farm and sings praises to God. When it is time for him to harvest his crops, God blesses him even beyond his expectations. Beloved, I urge you to cultivate this practice. When you buy new products to sell, walk around the products or place them in front of you and begin to praise God. In your office, especially at your own desk, take time to praise God regularly. Do this often, and God will cause your business or career to experience supernatural increase.
God is, however, not interested in the praise and worship of sinners (John 9:31). It doesn't matter how well a person can sing and dance; acceptable praise can only flow from a heart that is sanctified (Psalm 24:3-4). If you haven't surrendered your life to Jesus, please do so right away, and you can rest assured that when you praise Him, He will bless you and fight your battles for you.
KEY POINT:
Praise from a sanctified heart draws divine protection and blessings.
