A Cup of Praise

Psalm 67:5 Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. 6 Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us. (NKJV)

Not many people think of gardening in the winter. In many places it is cold, the ground is hard. Not much visible productivity takes places in the winter. Because the land doesn’t tend to yield much fruit in the winter we pack up our gardening tools and patiently (or impatiently) wait for the Spring. We look forward to the rains to soften the hardened ground. We think about the fresh seeds that will be available for planting. We anticipate the abundance of sunshine that will burst forth from the sky to give the much-needed light and warmth to our  precious gardens. We begin the long  waiting game of Winter.

Our spiritual gardens are not bound by earthly seasons. We have everything we need at all times to be owners of productive lands. One key to our productivity is wrapped up in our PRAISE!
Praise is what can bring the showers of God’s favor to soften the hardened land. Praise is the seed that we plant with expectation of a harvest of God’s blessings. Praise is the fertilizer that, when spread in abundance, will encourage growth in our relationship with our Father. And, praise is the harvesting tool we use to reap what we have sown in faith and obedience. Our Father has given us dominion and control of the land (Psalm 115:16). We are able to determine its productivity. As we praise and bless God, He returns the gesture by blessing us also.

If you find yourself dealing with a lack of productivity in your land…spiritual, financial, relationship, health, business, family, ministry, or anything…GET YO’ PRAISE ON!

Praise-“Yadah”-hands extended…Yes, come out with your hands up and PRAISE God! Praise down the showers of God’s favor. Plant praise in expectation of a grand harvest of blessings. Fertilize your  land with praise to encourage supernatural growth of your seed. Praise God to reap the increase of all that has been in sown in faith and obedience. Praise Him with all your might and  be an owner of fruitful lands in season and out of season…at all times.

LET ALL THE PEOPLE PRAISE HIM!
