2 Kings 8:19 Yet for the sake of His servant David, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.
Worship invokes God’s presence. You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel (Psalm 22:3). Praise is a perfume that activates divine intervention. While praise attracts God, murmuring invites the demons. Our expression, adoration and exaltation on earth activate the buzzing activity in the spiritual realm and unlock divine doors of provision and providence. However, grumbling, whining and complaining encourage demonic intrusion into our domain. “Praise ignites divine activation, while reproach invites demonic attacks.”
David did not live a perfect and exemplary life. He was a flawed man like you and me. Yet the Lord called him a man after His own heart. The fundamental distinction between David and other heroes of the Bible was that David was a worshiper. Worship is the incense that activates divine favour. The Lord made a covenant with David that his lamp will remain on the throne forever as His worship remained as a perennial perfume before God that unlocked immeasurable favour on his bloodline.
There were many heroes who sang praises to the Lord. Moses and Miriam sang praises on the victory shores of the Red Sea. King Jehoshaphat dispersed and destroyed the enemy’s army with the weapon of praise, yet the Lord calls David as the man after His own heart because praise was David’s mother tongue. Praise was the language he used for communication and a lifestyle of praise was the license that ordained him as the royal priest.
Spiritual Activation:
1. Lifestyle: David did not worship God as a ritual but praise and worship was his lifestyle. He praised in the wilderness and He praised God in his wandering. He praised God in the congregation and he praised God in his prayer closet.
2. Language: Praise is the language that the angels understand. Praise is the marching command for the combat angels to fight on our behalf.
3. License: Praise is the license that gives us access to divine favour, fortune and finance.
Praise activates divine perennial favour on our bloodline. Ignite the perfume of praise to unlock divine favour.
Prayer: God My Father, My Saviour and My Redeemer, I’ll extol you at all times, your praise will never leave my lips. Amen.
