THE IMPORTANT OF PRAISING GOD

It is said that when scientist researchers break down the matter' that comprises our universe, it is actually contains some musical molecules. When the Pharisees tried to silence that who were singing and drumming to praise the Lord, perhaps that is why Jesus Christ said 'if you Pharisees stop these people from praising God, the stone will cry out and give praise.


The bible speaks of trees clapping there hands in praising and oceans and the mountains exalting God. All of the creation are designed to praise God.
And when you don't, there is a connection with God that is not made and emptiness within you that nothing else can fill. David said , let my prayer be set before You as incense, the lifting up of my hand and my heart as the evening sacrifice (Psalm 142:2).
Here the word "prayer" is an Hebrew language , which means" songs of praise" and the Bible us it not less than 72 time in this context. So you as a living thing and work of almighty God should start singing praise God.


The Ark of the Covenant represented three things: Victory, guidance and God's presence. And any time the Ark of Covenant is not with Israeli , they felt lost without it. But observe how they can bring the Ark back from their camp of the Philistine foes. Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing to almighty God with big and small harps and Psalteries and with tumbrels and all others type of music instruments.
You must notice the phrase, "with all their might" away with pale , pathetic praise!


Put all your heart and soul ,whenever you are to praise God and worship him, brings intimacy with God. When the people want to rebuild Jerusalem, the singer were as vital and useful to the success of the operation as the solders and builders.
So for you also to succeed and to be progressive in life, you need to praise God always. Praising God is best way to get grace and eye of God.
Always praise God, even when your are driving, because Gid and his angels like like to be in were there is praise, and by doing so the angel is on guard and source a person will always have a saver journey.

WOLVES AMONG THE SHEEP

Business people easily trust others who are members of their Church, Mosque or social club and love to transact business with them. But as a Nigerian, never put your money into any business without thoroughly investigation and verifying the claims of your business partner.


Two year ago in a city in Nigeria, a certain Pastor who had a call to prison ministry, went a certain prison regularly, to witness to inmates of the inmates called Lawal, had been jail for armed robbery. As the Pastor continued to visit the person, Lawal came for an alter call and gave his life to Christ. The Pastor was very happy, since Lawal was originally a Muslim. It never crossed his kind Christian mind that Lawal was a pretender, an imposter.


Shortly after that, Lawal was released from prison after he had completed his sentence.
Filled with with joy, Pastor drove his car to agodi prison and picked Lawal. Lawal explained to Pastor that he had no place to go. That now he had become a Christian his family would kill him if he went to them. Pastor said, "No problem". And took Lawal to his own home, and gave him a room to live.


Pastor had just newly married and had a whole three bedroom flat to himself and his wife.
Lawal ate with the family , drank with the family , attended church programme and gave testimony of his conversions to the amazement and administration of fellow Christians.


Pastor gave Lawal the position of Personal Assistant and paid him accordingly. Lawal had become one with the family and knew the in and out of Pastor' s life.
Nine months later, Pastor's brother-in-law arrived from the United State on a visit.
He was on annual leave and had come to purchase a piece of land and build a House, so he came reasonable amount of money.
Pastor made contact with the estate agents, located a piece of land and they agreed on the price.
Pastor then went with his brother in law and lawal to change dollars to pay the land and start contradiction on the site. Lawal would supervise the construction work.
At Sabo, they collected cash of about N59 millon. This was on Friday evening. Payment would be made on Saturday morning.
Friday night was night vigil in the church, and Lawal was firt to leave home to church to see that all was in order before the arrival of the pastor.


Later in the evening,Pastor and his brother in law joined Lawal and others members at the church. Pastor 's wife was now heavy with pregnancy and could not attend. About 11 p.m the night vigil started , dancing and clapping, Lawal sneaked out of the church and went back home.
He enter into the house and explained to the pastor's wife that Pastor had forgotten something at home. She open the door and Lawal enter into pastor room, killed the pregnant woman , stole the money and disappeared.


That pastor was gentle, but not wise. He should not have brought an ex armed robber into his house for whatever reason under heaven.
