Praise And Thank God Continually

God's habitation is an atmosphere of praise. The bible says "He inhabits the praises of Israel". If you want to introduce God to a situation, praise Him. For Joshua, the problem was never the wall of Jericho, it was the absence of praise to God. As they completed their praise around the wall of Jericho, the fall fell down flat. Obstacles always fall flat when praise goes up to God. 

A certain man was declared dead, but for some reason, his family members won't accept the report. They took his body to a pastor's house, and everyone, including the pastor, began to praise God around the dead person. After 7 hours of praise, the dead sneezed and jerked back to life. Jesus thanked God for Lazarus who had been dead for four days, and after one instruction, Lazarus who was already embalmed in the grave came back to life.

It's amazing how God introduces God to situations. Thanksgiving means appreciation. And appreciation connotes increase in the business world. And if we observe scriptures closely, we'd discover that appreciation to God is more like an application for increase. In Jeremiah 30:19, God made it clear that the only way He'd release more blessings to His people is if they appreciate Him for what He has done.

God had led Joshua and the people of Israel on till the wall of Jericho; but He didn't bring down the wall until they praised Him. If praising or appreciating God brings increase, why do many believers suffer lack and want? In my opinion, any believer that has difficulty in advancing his life is not an appreciative or praiseful believer. Ps 67:5-7 explains that everyone who praises God naturally experience increase. So, if you're not increasing, despite on your commitment to kingdom principles, then you're not praising.

In conclusion, if you want to experience increase in any area of your life, then engage the sickle of praise.
