Praise The Instinct of The Recreated Human Spirit - Pastor Ekpenyong

1Peter 2:9CEV 

“But you are God's chosen and special people. You are a group of royal priests and a holy nation. God has brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Now you must tell all the wonderful things that he has done."

It is quite saddening that religion has taught men to think that anything that will please God must be a strain and burden on us which is why the expressions of our deepest outbursts of joy are contained.

Constantly we find good people suspecting themselves of insincerity, or quite sure that something dreadful is going to happen, if they find themselves happy, and really enjoying their spiritual duties and exercises.

However, praise is our expression of delight in God Himself; our expression of the love we feel as we consider, “How Great Thou Art:"

Praise is God's people, gathered to adore and to give glory to God, for all that He is and for all that He has done.

Praise is God's people, gathered to remember His works, and to focus attention on Him.

Praise is the overflowing joy of a people whose vision is filled with the beauty and the glory of their God.

To feel the pleasantness of praise is a sign of cherishing right thoughts of God our Father and also cherishing right thoughts of ourselves as His lovely and loving children. 

Glory!
