Can our praise bring God down into our midst?

 Bribe God? Impress God if you can

Praises bring down the power of God. You can get the heart of God through praises. You can eulogise God to the extent that His head will swell until He begins to give almost the whole world to only you (like a man who is under alcoholic influence). You can even cause God to release blessings He didn’t want to release before to you. If you know the secret of praise, you can make much of it. In fact, if you can just go and learn eulogies, memorize them, and you will just be a star, because God would have showered the whole world on you before you know. His head would have swelled towards you such that He like Herod and the daughter that danced before him, would just say ask anything you want, giving you a open cheque. Marvels of praises! In fact, one may be the worst of sinners, if he can know how to eulogise God, he will escape much punishments and get more blessed than a person who is trying to live holy but does not know how to praise God; such will get heavy punishments for little sins he has done. So praise can make God to forget your sins and hurriedly bless you like Jacob and David as opposed to Esau and Saul. It’s only a person that know how to praise know how to receive from God. Oh without praise, you cannot even enter His gates because bible says “enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Without praise, God will not come down no matter how hard you pray, because God dwells in the praises of His people. In fact, God does not know how it is doing Him again whenever people begin to praise Him: He just gets to begin to bless like a drunkard. So I may not be a spiritual “jim jim” (i.e. giant). I may not know the bible much. I may not be that holy, but I know how to turn God from His anger and He won’t know what he’s doing again and just begin to laugh like a man who is being tickled, and before you realise it, He has turn from His wrath.

Moses almost not made heaven. Why? Read this

Born at a time when it was a terrible thing to be an israelite and much more grievous to be a male, was protected being "a proper child". Studious, dilligent, intelligent, serious man; Trained in all the skills of Egypt and maybe on the way to winning a Nobel prize and perhaps also a preferred candidate for the throne of Egypt, he had a call of God and he was not disobedient to the heavenly calling.

He served God with all his heart. 1Cor 4:2 - "Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful" Heb 3:5 - "And Moses verily [was] faithful in all his house, as a servant".
The bible attested to his meekness, a virtue not so common then: Num 12:3 (Now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men which [were] upon the face of the earth.) no wonder God will show him a lot of revelations. Because Psa 25:9 says "The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way".

Until a day, he did not fully carry out an instruction from God in unbelief, and would consequentially

Excuses

Queuing Excuses

What is an excuse?

I define an excuse simply as our ‘logical’ reasons, sensible and appealing explanation(s) for our failure. An excuse is a ‘decorated’ failure we carry about as our ‘pride’. An excuse is an attempt to justify our bad habit(s). It is establishing a wrong cause for a problem in us, in an attempt to avoid being chastised or shamed. Hmm… Excuse is shifting away blame from the real offender so that he escapes being reproved. In other words, excuse also is an act of injustice, untruthfulness, and insincerity. Oh! These are definitely not the fruit of the spirit, my dear brother!

For instance, a man arrives late at a meeting. An excuse-giver will not simply accept his offence and bear whatever shame may arise afterward. No! Rather, he’s ready to write a full book to explain and prove his point that he’s not to be blamed. Oh! Who then is?

“The traffic was so tight…” “don’t you know my house is very far?” “my own watch was late, so…” “I had a visitor,… and…”, “my neighbor just delivered…” Shut up! What? Is the word ‘I’m so sorry’ now TOO EXPENSIVE for you to buy one at least as a fine for being the last man to arrive at the meeting?

Oh friend, when we do not face reality in sincerity, we enslave ourselves in a world of fantasy and stagnancy. You need to understand that no one is ever helped by your excuses, so stop production and shut down that factory! Sit down there admiring your excuse, while someone else is progressing by setting aside the same. The fact that someone got to the meeting early means it is possible, thus abolishing your cherished defense. Take responsibility for your actions! Accept blame with shamefacedness! Expose your bad habit for reproof. You are an independent enterprise, which bears alone every loss recorded by your misdeeds; just as you enjoy any profit your right attitude fetches you. Work on yourself and enjoy you for yourself!
