Memorise: Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed
instruments and organs. Psalms 150:4
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.
Bible in one year: Acts 12:6-13:52, Song of Solomon 3
