TOPIC : PRAISE NO MATTER WHAT
TEXT: Philippians 1:12 “But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel…..”
We can learn so much from the apostle Paul. He was deliciously happy and joyful because of what Christ had done in his life. Even when he
was chained and shackled in a dark prison because of his faith, Paul praised God and counted it a privilege to deliver the message of the gospel. He had His eyes focused on the prize of eternity! He didn’t let a bad day throw him off course. He didn’t get depressed when people didn’t like him. No, He stood confident in Christ knowing that praise prepares the way for victory!
One thing we know is that you can’t defeat a person who is always happy and praising God. If you are in a battle today, if you need a miracle in your circumstances, follow Paul’s example and open your mouth and begin to praise Him! Develop an attitude of faith and expectancy. Keep your eyes focused on eternity because when you praise God in that situation, you’ll be victorious no matter what and embrace the good things He has for your future!
