TEXT: COLOSSIAN 3:17DATE:31 MAY 2015
TRUE SOLDIER
A true
soldier I am
To defend
and to do his will
Of him who
sent me
To do my
duty I must
In the face
of a battle I bow not
My course,
my mission, my life
Though I
walk through deserts
Which seek to kill my spirit
Though I
face danger
I COUNT IT ALL JOY
Challenges I
must face
But in all,
I am more than conquerous
Because I am
a VICTOR.
Because I
know who I am
And even if
my vision takes my life,
I see to it
that the will of he who sent me is fulfilled
I BE A TRUE
SOLDIER
I DIE AT MY
POST
PRAISE
Oh Praise! A
word that we often hear and rarely practicalize. Praise as a Lifestyle is not
referring to one’s attitude towards praising and worshipping God during the
praise and worship sessions in church every Sunday morning.
Praise as a
lifestyle encompasses all that you do every day of your life. It permeates
through your daily activities from waking up , eating , singing , reading,
playing and every other thing that you can ever think of (Colossians 3:17) .
Consequently,
our heavenly Father expects us to praise Him at all times no matter the circumstance.
This is because He has promised that everything that will ever happen to us is
working for our good. (Rom 8:28). What an amazing promise! This means that
nothing happens to us, but everything happens to us.
Fortunately,
“God does not always protect us from trouble, but cares for us in spite of
trouble “.Indeed, “The Ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in
moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge
and controversy (Martin Luther King Jr) What is your attitude towards God in
your slippery moments ? Can you still Praise God?
Examine your
attitude in moments of challenges and of if it is for different from when all
is smooth and nice, then you have to consciously make praise a lifestyle until
it becomes an unconscious act.
Conclusively,
never forget that you are Christ‘s ambassador on earth and what you portray in
your everyday life will either attract or distract people‘s attention to or
from God!
MAKEA
Praise a Lifestyle
