I SEE CHAINS BREAKING AND I SEE THE NATION OF NIGERIA COMING OUT OF THE PRISON AS WE GIVE THE PRAISE RESPONSE TONIGHT AND BEYOND
THE SHOUTING SIDE IS THE WINNING SIDE. ANYTIME YOU SEE VICTORY WITHOUT A SHOUT, IT’S SUSPICIOUS
WE KILL THE SPIRIT OF DEPRESSION AND DESPAIR. BEST DAYS ARE AHEAD.
WHEN THE ISRAELITES WERE CONFRONTED WITH THE WALL OF JERICHO, THEY GAVE A PRAISE RESPONSE
I SEE EVERY SITUATION HOLDING US AND OUR DESTINY VOMITING US OUT RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST
WEAR A GARMENT OF PRAISE WHEN YOU’RE CONFRONTED WITH DISAPPOINTMENT AND WHEN THINGS DID NOT TURN OUT THE WAY YOU WANTED
PRAISE GOD WHEN YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS HEARD AND ANSWERED YOU, EVEN WHEN IT DOESN’T APPEAR SO IN REALITY
ANYTHING THE devil WANTS YOU TO DO PER TIME, DO THE OPPOSITE
GOD HAS ANSWERS FOR EVERY SITUATION
THE PRAISE RESPONSE IS THE PEAK OF FAITH AND EVERYTIME GOD SEES FAITH, HE MOVES IN ACTION
WHEN THE enemy SEEMS TO HAVE DONE HIS WORST AND IT APPEARS LIKE THE enemy HAS DONE HIS WORST, WHAT TO RELEASE IS THE PRAISE RESPONSE
I WILL LIKE YOU TO WATCH OUT FOR SUDDEN CONFUSION IN THE CAMP OF THE enemy
WHEN GOD IS IN CONTROL, NOTHING CAN BE OUT OF CONTROL
WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE IN NIGERIA IN THIS SEASON, THE RAW MANIFESTATION OF ANCIENT, PRIMITIVE, APOSTOLIC AND PROPHETIC MANTLES
WHEN YOU GIVE THE PRAISE RESPONSE, YOU HAVE INSTANTLY INVITED GOD INTO THE SITUATION
WHEN WE RELEASE THE PRAISE RESPONSE, THERE’S THE COLLAPSE OF LIMITING WALLS, OPPOSITIONS AND OBSTACLES LIKE IT HAPPENED IN JERICHO
THERE’S THE DISMANTLING OF CAPTIVITY AND THE ENEMY’S CHAINS OF BONDAGE WHEN WE PRAISE GOD
– Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche on “THE PRAISE RESPONSE IN ADVERSITY” || Midweek Preservation/Power Communion Service || Glory Dome, Abuja.
I must let you know that the mood I met here tonight is very exciting and very explosive. Church Gist. That is how to treat the devil.
– clap your hands all ye people, shout to the Lord with a voice of triumph.
🎵🎶Shout Hallelujah anyhow. When the devil comes your way, rise up and praise the Lord. Shout Hallelujah anyhow 🎶🎵
The shouting side is the winning side. Anytime you see victory without a shout, everytime you see victory with celebration and jubilation… Anyone that is shouting is the one that is winning.
We kill the spirit of depression, we kill the spirit of despair, we roast the garment of mourning. Church Gist. Brethren, best days are ahead – exciting, interesting days. Amen.
Acts 16:25. The reason why I was so excited was, you were doing what I was instructed for us to come and do. Acts 16:25-26. Church Gist. We are about to do some crazy praise tonight. The kind of praise that does not make sense. The kind of praise that makes the devil wonder, “this was not what I was expecting”. It’s not just going to be physical exercise, it’s a spiritual explosive. Church Gist. As many as that would have ears that are open, eyes that are open, and an understanding open in the spirit, you’d see cataclysmic things that will happen from this praise.
– somebody say a loud Amen.
The subject is, “The Praise Response in Adversity”. Objective is to understand the power of the praise response. Church Gist. Whenever a person is confronted with situations in life, there are different kinds of responses that they may put forth. First is a pessimistic and defeated response; second is a prayer response; the third is a praise response. Our objective tonight is the praise response.
Throughout Scriptures, we see the praise response from God’s people in adverse and battle situations. Church Gist. We see the praise response consistently. I will give about 5 examples of that praise response throughout Scripture.
1. We saw the praise response when the Israelites were confronted with the wall of Jericho. Church Gist. They gave a praise response – they responded to that situation with praise, that’s the meaning. Joshua 6:20. That was the praise response to an obstacle.
– tonight, as we give the praise response, there shall be the collapse of every Jericho wall!
2. We saw the praise response in the battle of Jehoshaphat and Judah against Moabites, Idomites and the Ammonites. 2 Chronicles 20:22-23. We saw that praise response there. Found in the midst of battle, the response that brought victory was praise.
3. We saw the praise response when Jonah found himself in the belly of the fish. Jonah 2:9-10.
– I see every situation holding us and holding our destiny vomiting us out right now in the name of Jesus Christ!
We saw that praise response there. Church Gist. The response could be fear, hopelessness, murmuring and grumbling but that was the response Jonah gave.
4. We saw the praise response in the situation of scarcity of food in the wilderness for the people. John 6:11-12. Church Gist. Shortage and scarcity stared them in the face, He gave the praise response, thanksgiving response and the situation changed.
5. Finally, we saw the praise response in the prison with Paul and Silas that produced immediate turnaround. Acts 16:25-26.
Beloved brothers and sisters, I see chains breaking and I see the nation of Nigeria coming out of the prison as we give the praise response tonight and beyond.
– you believe that, shout the loudest Amen.
Now, when is the praise response called for? Like we say in medicine, what are the indications? When is it indicated? When is the praise response called for? Church Gist. When are you expected to release the response of praise?
1. When confronted with disappointment, discouragement or frustration. That is why we wear the garment of praise according to Isaiah 61:3. Church Gist. When you’re confronted with disappointment – the thing did not turn out the way you wanted; confronted with discouragement, depression and frustration, you give a praise response.
2. When you believe that God has heard and answered you, even when it doesn’t appear so in reality. You have prayed, fasted and you did what you know to do, you believe God has heard and answered but in reality, you didn’t see the answer, it didn’t appear like there’s an answer. Church Gist. That was the situation of Abraham. Romans 4:20. In the physical, nothing appear like there was an answer. In fact, it appeared like the opposite of the answer, but Abraham gave the praise. Psalm 106:12. Church Gist. When you believe that God has heard and answered even when it doesn’t appear so in reality – when physical evidence is to the contrary, you release the response of praise.
– somebody say Amen.
3. When the enemy expects you to weep, mourn or exist in downcastedness, you give the praise response. We say, anything the devil wants you to do per time, do the opposite. Church Gist. That is part of the praise response. That was what Paul and Silas did in Acts 16:25-26. They were meant to be crying and mourning but they released a praise response and something happened. Anytime the devil wants you to sit down, stand up. If he wants you to move slow, walk fast. Church Gist. If he wants you to move too fast, reduce your step. Anything the devil wants you to do, refuse to cooperate. If he wants you to be quiet, shout! If he wants you to cry, laugh. If he wants you to frown, smile. If he wants you to be depressed, dance! How many of you are ready to do that tonight? Whenever you do that, I’ll tell you what the outcome is. Church Gist. It just runs them crazy. When you’re at that level, you’re at the point where the devil can’t stop you, the devil can’t stand you and the devil can’t do anything about you. When do you give that praise response? When you’re naturally expected to weep, mourn and be downcast.
4. When you have done all you know to do and you don’t know what else to do. 2 Chronicles 20:12. This is why I like God – He has answers for every situation. Church Gist. I don’t know how those who don’t know God cope. 2 Chronicles 20:21-22.
5. When the journey or progress of life seems to come to an abrupt end. Everything seems to be moving and progressing well and it comes to an end suddenly. Church Gist. When you come to a sudden standstill, then it is time to release the praise response. When you suddenly seem like you’re facing a Jericho wall, journey has stopped. You were moving very fine, suddenly, the journey stopped, then, you’re faced with a praise response. Joshua 6:20.
– we shall take our city and our nation tonight in name of Jesus Christ. If you’re saying Amen, say a louder Amen.
6. When the enemy seems to have done his worst. It appears like the enemy has done his worst, what to release is the praise response. Psalm 16:8. Church Gist.I wish that this message can be shared around our brethren and everyone in this season. Psalm 16:8-11. The praise response is what to release when you think the enemy has done his worst.
7. When you deliberately decide to pull the trigger of faith. 1 Peter 1:8. You haven’t seen what you’re looking for yet but you decide to explode in joy unspeakable. The praise response is the peak of Faith. Church Gist. That is when you’re supposed to be crying and you’re singing; when you’re supposed to be mourning and you’re dancing. That is the peak of Faith release. Everytime God sees Faith, He moves into action.
– somebody about to release their Faith tonight, say Amen!
How many of us can see reasons at this juncture in our lives and in our city and in our nation to release some praise of Faith tonight? Church Gist. If you see reasons, shout a louder Amen.
Question. What is the outcome of the praise response? When you have given the praise response, what do you expect to see?
1. Instant visitation of God into the situation. Church Gist. When you give the praise response, you have instantly invited God into the situation.
2. Drastic, Divine participation and intervention. First of all, the praise invites Him because God inhabits the praise of His people. Church Gist. Next thing is Divine participation and intervention. God got involved in the battle of Israel. God got involved in the prison. As we give the praise response tonight, we’re giving God an invitation to our land, our city and our Nation. We are asking for Divine participation and intervention.
3. Sudden confusion in the camp of the enemy, both spiritual and physical. I will like you to watch out for that.
4. The redirection of enemy weapons against themselves. 2 Chronicles 20:21-23. Church Gist. The enemies will suddenly begin to redirect their weapons against themselves.
5. The collapse of limiting walls, obstacles and oppositions. When we release the praise response, there’s the collapse of limiting walls, oppositions and obstacles like it happened in Jericho. Joshua 6:20.
6. The dismantling of captivity and chains of bondage. Church Gist. When we give the praise response, especially in captivity, there’s the dismantling of captivity and the enemy’s chains of bondage. Captivity around individuals and nations can be broken by our praise response. Acts 15:25-26.
7. The establishment of desired victory. As Israel gave the praise response, the victory that was desired was established. 2 Chronicles 20:23.
Tonight, we are at this junction and we’re going to give the praise response.
I want you to dance until the devil cries. I want you to just celebrate and jubilate until principalities and powers feel it. Church Gist. I want Heaven to confirm to us that when God is in control, nothing can be out of control. Church Gist. When God is in control, everything is under control. When God takes over, the devil takes cover. I want to advertise to you that we are about to see in Nigeria in this season, the raw manifestation of ancient, primitive, Apostolic and Prophetic mantles.
