Living Beyond Your Abilities- High Praise





Learn to take the me/my out of high praises. Let not your praises be limited to your experience with God but let it be based on what He has said about Himself.

Psalms 149:6-9;Psalms 8:2 ;Psalms 150;2 Chronicles 20:14-30

Dear Friend,
Living beyond our abilities takes faith to accomplish. Faith is expressing confidence in God through your confessions and actions based on what God has said in his word, irrespective of how you feel, see, hear, smell and touch. Therefore the more understanding you have in the word of God the better your chance to live a life beyond limits. As we have already established that , giving God praise is one way to engage the supernatural in your life, because God inhabits the praises of His people. And we know that once God intervenes wonders never end.
Thanksgiving is not praise. Thanksgiving is thanking God for specific things He has done for you or the things that you believe you are expecting by faith from Him. It is entirely based on your expectation. Thanksgiving has its role.

We are required to enter His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise.
High Praise is exalting God with what He has said about Himself. Therefore you cannot praise God without knowing Him. Thus we need to dig into the word so we can know what He says about Himself. Your heavenly loves you so much He wants to get involved with issues you deal with. He wants to help just as He helped king Jehoshaphat by taking over to fight for you. There are some things about God you may not have experienced yet. When you offer Him high praises you set Him to do what you have never seen Him do for you before. Engage in diligent search of several exaltations of God pronounced by God Himself in scriptures.

The following are exaltations of God you can begin to use in your praise sessions:
You are the Shield and Exceeding Great Reward-Genesis 17:1
You are Almighty God –Genesis 15:1
You are the I AM-Exodus 3:14
You are the Healer-Exodus 15:26
You are Holy-Leviticus 11:44
You are the first and with the last –Isaiah 41:4
You are the man of war –Isaiah 42:8-11
There is no One like you-Isaiah 46:9
You are the maker –Isaiah 51:12
You never Change- Malachi 3:6
