You cannot carry praise and come last. Confront every new phase of your
life with praise and let God know that you are not ready to come last.
SCRIPTURE: Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children
of Israel asked the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites
first, to fight against them? And the Lord said, Judah shall go up: behold, I
have delivered the land into his hand. Judges 1:1, 2
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You cannot carry praise and end as a loser.
In the journey of life, people encounter different phases of life and
wonder how to approach each phase and come out triumphant. Our anchor Scripture
gives us a clue: it says that Judah shall go up first, and Judah means praise.
So, in every new phase of your life, let Praise go up first.
Now, our praise will achieve four things at every junction of our lives:
1. Praise is key to existence on the frontline.
You cannot carry praise and come last. Confront every new phase of your
life with praise and let God know that you are not ready to come last.
2. Praise is key to conquest and victory in life.
The children of Israel asked God, Who shall go up for us against the
Canaanites first? And God said, Judah. That implies that Judah, which is
praise, will be victorious; he will confirm the defeat of the adversary. So,
our praise is key to our victory in every new season. You cannot carry praise
and end as a loser.
3. Praise is key to possession.
In our anchor scripture, God says, I have delivered the land into his hand.
That is, I have delivered the land into Judah’s (Praise’s) hand. So, the things
that belong to us can be delivered into our hands by our praise. You cannot
know praise and be empty-handed.
4. Praise is key to a successful beginning.
The children of Israel were wondering how to step into the phase they were
entering? And God seemed to have said, offer praise. So, to start well is to
start with praise, and to start well is to end well.
I decree the release of the garment of praise on you today in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: You cannot carry praise and end as a loser.
