TOPIC: OVERFLOWING PRAISE
π Read: RCCG Open Heaven 4 August 2025 Devotional
In today’s Bible reading, David praised God with all his might and danced with total abandon. This is a classic example of overflowing praise; no wonder God blessed Him beyond measure. When we overflow with praise towards God, He gives us blessings that are beyond measure. When you praise God, you please Him, and when you please Him, He makes even your enemies to be at peace with you (Proverbs 16:7). No wonder David never lost a battle; his overflowing praise always made God silence all his enemies before him.
When you go out of your way to praise God, He goes out of His way to shower you with abundant blessings.
To really give overflowing praise to God, you cannot set limits to your praise; you have to praise Him without ceasing. This means that you keep praising Him everywhere you go and while going about your daily activities. This also means that your major preoccupation throughout all your days should be to give Him praise continually. This is why every time people see me, they notice that my mouth is always moving – I am always singing choruses to praise my God. I remember one time l travelled outside Nigeria; I went to a bookstore to buy some books. While picking the books, I was singing praises to God. A white man came into the bookstore, saw me, and made a joke about my singing. We laughed, shook hands, and as he was about to leave, he said, “Wait a minute, it is gone!” Apparently, he had been suffering from a backache for years. The moment I shook his hands in that mood of worship, the backache disappeared. If you want to experience constant miracles everywhere you go, even when you are not expecting it, then you should be giving God overflowing praise.
Those who give God overflowing praise do not wait for Him to do anything for them before they praise Him. They praise Him in season and out of season. Just the fact that they get up from their beds in the morning is enough reason to give Him praise. In return, God ensures that He meets their needs even before they ask so that they can put more time and focus into praising Him. Before any trouble comes, He settles it so that the flow of praise does not stop. Beloved, make it a habit to praise God everywhere you go, and He will beautify your life with His abundant blessings.
To give God overflowing praise, you must praise Him everywhere you go and at all times.
Jeremiah 6–8
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;Join me in glad adoration!
In a world where many wait for miracles before they sing, the Open Heavens 5 August 2025 devotional reminds us that overflowing praise precedes divine visitation. This devotional isn’t just a call to worship; it’s a blueprint for walking daily in God’s power.
David's unashamed worship wasn't simply emotional — it was intentional and prophetic. His dancing drew heaven’s attention and shifted his spiritual climate. If you’re seeking breakthrough, healing, or favor, consider this truth: praise opens doors that prayer alone may not.
Here are 3 practical ways to apply today’s message:
Create a daily habit of praise, even for five minutes before your day begins.
Praise publicly and privately — at work, in traffic, or in your room.
Thank God in advance — not just after the blessing arrives.
In 2025 and beyond, let your lifestyle reflect what David embodied: praise without apology, faith without hesitation.
“Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.” — Psalm 150:6

(Scroll down for RCCG House Fellowship 3 August 2025 Anthem)
Father, please, whenever my faith is tempted, grant me grace to bear it.
The leaders should ask members what is spiritual birthright is and how to regain the lost birthright.
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV)
Hebrews 6:12 (KJV)
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
As believers, we need to know that we cannot escape being tempted by Satan especially in the area of our faith. Unlike unbelievers, Satan will fight to ensure that he causes believers to derail, hence the trial of believers’ faith, but in all these believers are more than conqueror.
To study about the tested faith.
At the end of the lesson, members should be able to:
Know that tested faith is faith that works.
Know the reason for the believer’s faith to be tested.
Believers are not called to slothfulness. Spiritually dull and indifferent
