Today's Message by Ayo Ibukun, Lead Pastor

Victory through Praise
Praise is more than an act of worship, it is an act of warfare.
At the shout of praise Jericho walls scratched
When Paul and silas sang and praised, there was an earthquake, prison doors were opened and chains were broken

Praise delights God
Praise provokes divine intervention

When you breakthrough in prayer , God sends an angel settle your matter. E.g. the case of Hezekiah and Peter 2 Chron. 32 and Act 12

When you breakthrough in praise, God undertakes for you personally. E.g a similar case of Jehoshaphat and Paul in 2 chron. 20 and Act 16

Benefits of praise
1. Through praise you execute judgement on your enemies 2 chron. 20: 22
2. Through praise you enter spiritual realm, realm of angels and the presence of God. Psalm 100: 4
3. Praise destroys the spirit of heaviness Isaiah 61: 3
4. Praise brings God's intervention Psalm 22: 3
5. Praise brings increase and prosperity Psalm 67:5
6. Praise brings the earthquake of deliverance, chains are broken, prison doors are opened Act 16: 26

Praise the Lord at all times in all situation 1 Thess. 5: 18
Make a habit and routine of praising God. Psalmist said 7 times a day will I praise you Psalm 119: 164
