IMPACT OF PRAISE ON RESTORATION

Exodus 33:14

And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

QUICK WISDOM. There are 2 seasons in life.

1. Between the ages of 20-30: Num. 1:3.

This is the age to have direction of what and where you want to be in life. It's also your age of strength and vision Joel 2:28. If you don't know what you are living for at this age, you have lost it.

This is the time to build strength for the future. It's your season of planting for the future. If you play here

2. Between 30-50: Num 4:3. This is the age to be fully established in what you have planted in season 1. Gen 41:46. Joseph was sold into slavery at 17, but he planted enough for himself both in Potiphar's house and prison. How well you plant in your season 1 determines what becomes of you in your season 2.

This is the season you build for yourself and your future; what will last you forever.

Wherever you see dignity, the underlying factor is responsibility. Only concentrated responsibility generates accelerated dignity.

From 50 above is your season of rest.

"Praise is a catalyst that invites God's presence" psm 22:3 which carries the power for restoration, preservation, and supernatural multiplication.

Praising God collapses enemy strongholds and recovers everything that has been lost or stolen from your destiny. Praise is a powerful catalyst for destiny restoration.

Praise, when done acceptably, can bring recovery of every lost time, relationships, business, etc.

An impactful praise is the one that is centred on the person and character of God rather than His deeds.

Many praise God for what He can do for them and not who He is.

David's praise was so impactful because his focus was on the character of God.

Let your focus this season be more on who God is than what He can do for you.

Therefore, what to seek in praise is who He is. Psm. 104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great, thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Psm 107:1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercies endures forever.

Praise takes you to His presence, and His presence brings His power to bear in your life.

Moses never prayed for exploits, but he is a masterpiece of exploits till today.

THE THREE PRAYERS OF MOSES

1. Divine presence: Exo. 33:16. This can be achieved via praise. Praise keeps you in His presence, and restoration and recovery are a possibility in His presence. If you have intimacy with Him, His presence will be robed on you.

2. Show me the way: Exo. 33:13-15 How do you know the way? It's when someone is there guiding you.

3. Show me thy glory: Exo 33:18

Everything centred around God. If your heart is centred around God, your praise will be impactful, and if it's impactful, it will deliver impact.

Summary of the above is seeking His presence. He was a carrier of God's presence. There was nothing impossible for Moses to accomplish.

Restoration and recovery are a product of His presence in your life.

JESUS IS LORD.
