When troubles abound, when sickness seems to rage, when failure try to depress you, when circumstances seem to keep you in constant tears, when the whole world seems to have fallen upon you, when the future looks so bleak that you wish you were dead, when everyone seems to be on parallel cords with you, when help and assistance become forgotten words in your life, when darkness seems to overshadow you, when everything seems to work against you, just remember to do just this one thing, “SING A NEW SONG UNTO THE LORD”.

Beloved, singing a new song unto the Lord is the only way we can get out of our numerous troubles. Instead of complaining, think of and compose a wonderful song unto God. Instead of fearing the unknown, sing a glorious song unto the Lord. Instead of running helter-skelter, seat down for a while and shout hallelujah to the Lord. Sing, Sing, Sing a new song unto the Lord! Hallelujah.

Three nations were ganged up against the nation Judah. The king of Israel became confused because fear griped his heart. He thought that will be the end of his life and most of the lives of the people he led. But he prayed to God, and God told him not to be afraid but to be still and see the salvation of the Lord.

Early in the morning the next day, the king set singers to praise the name of the Lord. The bible said, the singers went before the army of Judah, and as they praised the Lord, “The Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.” (II Chron. 20 :22). Hallelujah!

(Full story is found in 2 Chronicles 20)

When you praise the Lord, you step out for God to step in and fight on your behalf. Beloved, don’t waste your time trying to fight a battle that is greater than you, leave it for God, and He will give you the victory. How do you leave your battles for God, “Sing a New Song unto the Lord”. Just praise the Lord! Forget the battle, and bless His Holy Name. Overlook the enemy and worship Emmanuel. Praise ye the Lord!

Bless His Name
To bless the name of the Lord means to salute Him, to kneel before him, to hail him, to make him feel great, etc. Bless His Name, lift His name so high that the whole world could see it and wonder. Kneel before the Lord, tell Him He owns you, tell Him He is all in all. Bless His Name!

Show forth His Salvation
Don’t hide what He has done for you. Don’t be ashamed to tell others about His wonderful works in your life. Tell others about the ones He has done for you and He will certainly do the ones you are asking for now.

Some people may ask me, what salvation will I show forth when I am still sick, or when everything is still the same way it was. Beloved, if not for anything, show forth His salvation because you are alive. You can still open your mouth to talk, some cannot. You can still feel things, you can feel your circumstances, others have lost feeling entirely and forever-they are death. You are better than them. Just show forth His salvation, think of all the wonderful things He has done for you before and for all the wonderful things He has done in your family or in the lives of your friends and loved ones. Show forth the Salvation of the Lord. Don’t keep silent about it. Praise ye the Lord!

Declare His Glory & Wonders
Publicize the glory of the Lord. Publicize the wonders of the Lord. Publicize how He raised Jesus Christ from the death. Publicize how He led the Israelites across the red sea. Publicize all the wonders He has done for you before. Even, publicize the wonders you expect Him to do for you. Praise God for the testimonies you expect. Just praise God, and tell the whole world about His wonders. Don’t be ashamed, because God cannot put your to shame. Declare his Glory and Wonders!

For the Lord is Great
That your problem cannot stand God! That circumstance is not greater that God, and what is not greater than God cannot kill you when you praise Him. When you praise God, you make God to take action. When you praise God, you move Him out of His seat to look into what is troubling you, and to put an end to that which troubles you. Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is great!

The lord is great! He is mighty! He is wonderful! Hallelujah! I like the word ‘WONDERFUL’. Wonderful means to be FULL OF WONDERS. God is wonderful means, God is full of wonders; he is totally and completely occupied by wonder, or he has his content as wonder. When you praise God, you are in line to experience one of His wonders in your own life. Hallelujah!

A woman had just lost her only son. They had dressed him up as a death man, rapped him with grave cloths, and was carrying him to the cemetery to burry him. But on their way to the cemetery Jesus Christ saw them, and seeing the woman cry, he had compassion on her, and asked the young men carrying the corps to stop. Then he said unto the young guy that was dead, “Arise!”, and to the surprise of all, the dead guy rose up and talked with them. Hallelujah! (Luke 7:11-15).

As you read through scriptures, you’ll see so many wonderful works of God, which will make you to be confident in God. Praise the Lord, your miracle is the next miracle that God is about to perform. Praise ye the Lord!                   

In concluding I will like you to remember that God only inhabits the praises of His people (Psalms 22:3). He doesn’t inhabit or have regard for the praises of sinners or outsiders. The people of God are those who have given their lives to Jesus Christ. Those who have subscribed to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

If you are not among these people, but will like to be counted among these people, whose praises the Lord God inhabits, pray this prayer after me.

“Lord God, I want to be counted among your people, I want you to also inhabit my praises also. Lord Jesus, come into my life and be my Lord and Saviour. Save my soul from the bondage of sin and death. From today henceforth, I subscribe to your leadership. Thank you for saving my soul in Jesus Name. Amen.”

God bless you! And, don’t forget to always Sing a New Song Unto the Lord. Praise ye the Lord!
