the psaltery and harp.

loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

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.
