him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise
him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let everything
that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

MESSAGE
There are many people who think
that it is only when they pray to God that help comes down. The greatest
victories that the children of Israel experienced manifested in an atmosphere
of praise. There is always a point where you don’t know what to do again,
especially when you have done all you can. This is the time when you should
begin to dance to the Lord and praise Him. Paul and Silas were unjustly thrown
into the prison, when they did not know what to do next, they turned to praise.
The next moment, all the doors leading into the prison flung open, not for them
to escape, but for the people to know the potency of the God they were
praising. Are you in prison? Do you think there is something the enemy has
stolen from you? Have you just lost something very precious to you? Have you
just received a sack letter or a negative medical report? Whatever your case
is, just begin to dance before the Lord. This is a way of committing God to
rise on your behalf.
The moment you begin to dance in
the midst of your situation and circumstances, you are simply telling the whole
world that you are not a victim. You are provoking God to action and when He
rises on your behalf; you become the talk of the town. There are some people
who cannot mind their business, they are always wondering why people dance the
way they dance. When they see a rich man forgetting his wealth and dancing
before His Maker, they continue to wonder why the man has forgotten who he is.
The question is who are you before the Almighty God? You are nothing. If we
remove God from your life, there is nothing else to see. David understood this
and he danced and praised God. Dancing shows gratitude to the Almighty God.
Dancing is loaded with blessings, when we dance unto the Lord; He turns our
mourning into joy. There are people who only dance when the Lord has given them
a testimony to share, but those who understand better will continue to dance
even before the arrival of their miracles.
When you dance before God and you
praise Him with the whole of your heart, you will begin to enjoy divine favour
and there will be a divine acceleration of your place of celebration. When you
praise God, all your enemies become silenced because your dance will provoke
God to rise in your defence.
It is not the dance of everyone
that God will rise for. It is only the dance of those who worship Him in spirit
and in truth. Sin is the only thing that can stop Him from rising on your
behalf because He is too pure to behold iniquity.
Prayer Point
Father, please remove everything that will stop You from rising on
my behalf.
