Day 312: NOV 8TH: ACTIVATING SUCCESS ON THE ALTAR OF PRAISE
Scripture
Joshua 6:20
So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
DAILY WISDOM
When genuine praise rises to Heaven, the walls of limitation fall on earth. The believer enters into the success God has planned.
MESSAGE
There is a secret to success that many believers have not yet discovered. It is the mystery of praise. Praise is not just a song or a dance; it is a spiritual weapon and a divine key that opens doors no one can close. Many pray, but few praise. Many fast, but few worship. Those who understand how to activate praise find that success flows easily because God Himself steps into their situations.
Success in the Kingdom does not depend mainly on planning but on divine intervention. When praise becomes your way of life, Heaven becomes your partner in progress. The altar of praise is the believer’s strongest platform for activating divine success. It is where God turns impossibilities into opportunities and defeats into testimonies.
In Joshua 6:20, “So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat.”
It was not their strategy that brought down the walls of Jericho. It was their sound of praise. Every time true praise rises, God comes down, and when He comes down, obstacles vanish. The altar of praise changes struggle into triumph and stagnation into progress.
True success is not just from hard work; it is the result of divine favor. When you engage in heartfelt praise, you call upon God’s favor that brings effortless success. The same God who lifted Joseph from prison to the palace, who gave David victory over Goliath, and who turned Paul and Silas’s midnight into morning still performs wonders for those who know how to praise Him.
Psalm 75:6-7, “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge; he putteth down one, and setteth up another.”
This verse shows that success, advancement, and progress do not come through human connections or intelligence; they come from divine lifting. The quickest way to achieve divine lifting is through the altar of praise. God is present in praise, and when you honor Him, He lifts you up.
The altar of praise is not limited to church music or public worship. It is the personal heart attitude of gratitude and faith that keeps God close. When your life becomes a constant expression of thanks, your future becomes a space of consistent success. Success rooted in praise is sustainable because it is anchored in God, not in human effort.
Many work hard but remain frustrated because they labor without recognizing the Source of success. Praise shifts your focus from your effort to God’s power. It reminds Heaven that you rely on Him alone. In that atmosphere of gratitude, divine wisdom, opportunities, and favor are released.
Psalm 92:1-2, “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High; to show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night.”
It truly is a good thing. Praise is a seed that yields increase. It connects believers to supernatural success. When you plant the seed of praise, you harvest divine promotion. Each time you lift your voice in worship, you are paving your path to success in the Spirit.
The altar of praise is where impossibilities bow and limitations vanish. When you raise songs of thanksgiving in tough times, you silence the enemy and empower God’s angels to act on your behalf. Success activated by praise is rooted in grace. It cannot be stopped, manipulated, or delayed.
Beloved, when life feels tough, when results seem slow, when your efforts yield little, stop struggling and start praising. Turn your complaints into songs. Turn your worries into worship. Begin to honor the One who cannot fail. The altar of praise is also the altar of remembrance. Each time you praise, God remembers your hard work, your prayers, and your seeds.
When you learn to live a life of constant praise, you start to see continual progress. God cannot stay where there is ingratitude; He lives and moves where praise exists. The moment your atmosphere fills with praise, your future fills with results.
