The Seed Of Praise July 18th Devotional

Read:

“The Seed Of Praise”
Isaiah :11
11 For as the earth brings forth its growth,
and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up,
so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.

So many times in our christian walk the enemy tries to draw us into fleshly warfare with him. There are times that we need to fight the enemy with certain words, but most of the time it is our praise that is the biggest weapon against the tactics of the devil, and when purity and sound doctrine is mixed with our praise and worship it will cause the enemy to run. We just need to enter into praise and that praise will spring forth great fruit in our lives. In the act of praise is the revelation of faith and our righteousness in the blood of Jesus Christ. As we grow in the knowledge of righteousness we begin to bear fruit just like a seed in the ground, and the fruit of the spirit begins to manifest from within us more and more each day. Our praise and worship is so powerful and it will bring us to that most holy place as praise turns into worship for Christ. There is something that we need before we enter into praise and worship, and that is revelation of what God has done by his mighty hand through praise, and revelation of who God is through our worship. We need praise and worship. The greatest revelation we could have is a revelation of what God has already done on the cross. We need to enter the presence of God with the realization that he has won the victory already. There is no need for us to fight a war that Jesus Christ has already defeated. We can enter into that rest through our praise and worship. Today I want us to enter prayer and devotion with this revelation, and I want us to reflect on what God has already done. We need to shout the victory in the presence of the enemy.

prayer:

Lord we enter into your presence now with the realization of what you already did on the cross. We thank you Lord for your many blessings through our praise, but we seek your face today through our worship. We sit at your feet today and ask you Lord to make us more like you in everything we do. We want our praise to spring forth to all nations. Amen.
