Ministering: Pastor Shola Awobajo.
February Thanksgiving Sunday
Text: Acts 16:20-26.
” 20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, these men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, 21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans. 22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes and commanded to beat them. 23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.” KJV
Praise provokes “Divine Repositioning”.
From our above Text, Paul and Silas offered praise to God and many things happened – the chains of every prisoner broke off; the prison doors broke open, and salvation came to their jailers.
What Happens When You Offer Praise to God?
- There is help available to relocate you from stagnancy to flourishing; from sorrow to Joy
- What you cannot do by yourself, God will do them for you
- God will fight all your battles and give you a resounding victory
- Help will arise supernaturally for you
- You will receive unusual assistance to achieve uncommon result – 2 Chron. 20:20
In closing, Psalm 102:13 – You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her.
God bless you!
