Psalm 34verse1-2 ‘I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.’
You are welcome back to our discussion on Intentional Praise. Yes, you need to be intentional with your praise. Your praise must be deliberate and intentional if you want to experience God in his fullness. The problem with us is that we have conditioned our praise instead of being deliberate with your praise. God’s will is for you to praise him regardless of your feelings or mood. So how can you make this happen? How can you be intentional with your praise? You can do this by:
1. Deciding to praise God with the whole of your heart. This is one of the ways of being intentional with your praise. Decide to praise God with your heart and not a part of your being. Give yourself wholly to praising God! Let it be total and complete. When you choose to praise God with everything within you, you will be stepping into the dimension of intentional Praise. 2Sam6v14.So my dear reader, make up your mind from today that you will give the totality of your praise to God.
2. Deciding to be grateful and not a grumbler. Choose gratitude over grumbling. Choose commendation over complaining. Make this your position, posture, and decision in all things and situations. I am convinced that when you make this your habit and disposition, you will begin to experience the wonders of praise. 2Cor4v15
It’s a new day for you because I see you entering a new dimension of praise and power! If you are receiving this, do say a Big AMEN.

Prayer for Today: I choose to be an initiator of my praise and not just a recipient of praise. So help me, Blessed Holy Spirit.
CONFESSION: I embrace the culture and practice of gratitude from today. Therefore I say no to all forms of complaining and murmuring! I put away all manners of grumbling and gossip. Gratitude is my new lifestyle, and as I imbibe this attitude, the miraculous is becoming commonplace in my life! Hallelujah
