Day 317: NOV 13TH: PRAISE AS THE HIGHWAY TO SUPERNATURAL TURNAROUND
Scripture
Psalm 67:5–7
Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
DAILY WISDOM
When praise comes from your lips, the earth responds with fruitfulness, and Heaven releases divine help.
MESSAGE
Every time a believer praises God, Heaven starts to act. Praise is not entertainment; it is a promise that brings divine help. It is one of the strongest tools for supernatural turnaround. When everything seems shut, when prayers seem unanswered, and when help feels distant, engage in praise. It is the key that opens what prayer alone cannot.
Psalm 67:5–7 shows a spiritual principle: when people genuinely praise God, the earth yields its increase. Praise makes the invisible forces of nature, opportunities, and resources respond positively. Where complaints close doors, praise opens them. When murmuring delays blessings, praise speeds them up.
When you praise God during tough times, you express faith that moves God's hand. God cannot resist true praise. He lives in it, and where He is, darkness and bondage vanish. Psalm 22:3 states, "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel."
When you turn your life into a place of praise, you draw the constant presence of God. His presence guarantees your victory, and His dwelling ensures your growth. Each time you choose to praise, you invite God into your situation. When God arrives, everything changes.
Praise has always been the pathway to supernatural turnarounds in Scripture. When Israel faced overwhelming challenges, they turned to praise. In 2 Chronicles 20:21–22, Jehoshaphat chose singers, not soldiers, to lead the army. As soon as they began to sing, the Lord set traps for their enemies. Their praise became the battleground for victory.
This principle still holds true today. Praise is not just for after the victory; it is what creates the victory. When you start praising, Heaven starts fighting. When your voice rises in thanks, the enemy’s voice is silenced.
Many believers pray for a long time but praise for a short while. They ask for hours and express gratitude for mere minutes. However, divine order says, “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6. Praise should come with the request, not after the answer. It completes your prayer and seals your expectation.
When you stop complaining and start praising, you move from asking to receiving. Praise shifts you from a place of asking to one of receiving. God does not answer pity; He answers praise.
Paul and Silas demonstrated this truth in Acts 16:25–26, “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake.” Their situation didn't change until they praised. Their midnight turned to morning when they transformed their prison into a place of praise.
The earth is meant to respond to praise. When you praise, your life starts to produce results. Doors open, favor flows, joy returns, and supernatural speed is released. Your surroundings respond to your sound. When Heaven hears praise, the earth yields fruitfulness.
Nothing multiplies like praise. John 6:11–12 says that when Jesus gave thanks, the five loaves multiplied. He praised before the miracle, not after. The key to divine increase is gratitude before manifestation.
When you grasp this secret, you will never struggle to experience turnaround again. You won’t wait for signs to rejoice; you will create signs by rejoicing. Every turnaround begins with gratitude. Every breakthrough starts with praise. When praise becomes your way of life, wonders become your story.
So today, lift your voice not in complaint but in joy. Sing songs of victory, even if the battle is not over. Rejoice in faith, and your story will turn in your favor. The power of turnaround lies in the mystery of praise.
