DIVIDENDS OF PRAISE (1): PROVOKES/PROCURES HARVESTS
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
Psalms 67:5-7 [KJV]
Praise provokes the release of your harvest. Even when you are a cheerful and consistent giver, you still need praise to turn your seed into harvest. When you praise Yahweh, His blessings upon your life become inexhaustible. No matter what you do in the kingdom of Yahweh, until you have praised Him, you cannot be fruitful. Behind every prosperous life is the mystery of praise. This is because praise effectively waters the seeds you sow – your services and offerings in the kingdom. David was a mighty seed sower and was also a praising king. As a result, he became a mighty man on the earth! The more you praise Him, the more meaningful your life becomes! The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your praise. Let’s give it to Him! I’d like you to know this: Yahweh owes you nothing, for He has done all things well. Rather, you owe Him praise. And as you praise Him, you won’t need to struggle for your needs to be met any more; they will be met of their own accord. Remember that the presence of Yahweh is the environment that man was created to live in and for his life to produce fruits and harvests, he must continue to exist in the presence of Yahweh. What the soil is to the plant is what the presence of Yahweh is to the life of man. Without the presence of Yahweh we wither and die.
