Psalm 98:4
READ: Psalm 67:5-7

and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 2 NOVEMBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
God delights in His people praising Him. In fact, He loves the praises of His children so much that He inhabits it (Psalm 22:3).
In Psalm 50:23, He said that anyone who praises Him is glorifying Him, and He promised to show His salvation to those who order their conversations right.
This further reveals how much God wants His children to praise Him.
When God’s children praise Him, He fights their battles for them. This is what happened in 2 Chronicles 20:1-25, when three great kings conspired against King Jehoshaphat. The people of Judah praised God, and He defended them.
God made the three kings and their armies fight and kill each other without the children of Judah lifting a sword.
To top it all, Jehoshaphat and his people spent three days gathering the spoils of a war they never fought in.
Another good example of God fighting on behalf of His children who praise Him is found 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, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
I pray that God will fight for you, too, as you praise Him today, in Jesus’ name.
I remember the story of a Christian brother who shared the secret of his bumper harvests every year. According to him, after planting, he goes around his farm and sings praises to God. When it is time for him to harvest his crops, God blesses him even beyond his expectations.
Beloved, I urge you to cultivate this practice. When you buy new products to sell, walk around the products or place them in front of you and begin to praise God. In your office, especially at your own desk, take time to praise God regularly. Do this often, and God will cause your business or career to experience supernatural increase.
God is, however, not interested in the praise and worship of sinners (John 9:31).
It doesn’t matter how well a person can sing and dance; acceptable praise can only flow from a heart that is sanctified (Psalm 24:3-4).
If you haven’t surrendered your life to Jesus, please do so right away, and you can rest assured that when you praise Him, He will bless you and fight your battles for you.
KEY POINT
Praise from a sanctified heart draws divine protection and blessings.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
John 3-4
HYMN: Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 2 NOVEMBER 2026 COMMENTARY
There is something about praise that moves the heart of God in a way few things do. Today’s devotional, “Praise the Lord,” reminds us that praise is not just a religious exercise; it is a weapon, a key, and a doorway into God’s supernatural intervention.
But there is also a warning: praise is only acceptable when it comes from a sanctified heart. Let’s look at what the Word says about this powerful topic.
God Loves the Praises of His Children
The very first truth we must settle is that God actually enjoys hearing from His children in praise. Psalm 22:3 tells us that God “inhabitest the praises of Israel” — meaning He dwells in the midst of His people’s worship.
David understood this — he praised God seven times a day (Psalm 119:164), and God called him a man after His own heart. And where God dwells, His presence changes everything. The more you praise Him, the more you become aware of His nearness, and the more His peace guards your heart.
Don’t treat praise as something reserved for church on Sunday; make it your daily routine.
When You Praise Him, He Blesses and Fights for You
This is where praise becomes practical. In 2 Chronicles 20:1-25, three great kings conspired against King Jehoshaphat, but the people of Judah praised God. God made the enemy armies fight and kill each other without Judah lifting a sword. And they gathered spoils for 3 days.
Also Daddy shares the story of a Christian brother who would walk around his farm after planting, singing praises to God, and year after year he reaped bumper harvests beyond his expectations.
Psalm 67:6 says, “Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.” Notice the word “then” — it follows praise. Your praise today is preparing your increase tomorrow.
God Hates the Praises of Sinners
John 9:31 says, “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.” It does not matter how well a person can sing, how beautifully they dance, or how loud their voice is — acceptable praise can only flow from a heart that is sanctified.
This is a call to examine ourselves. Are you praising God with lips while your heart is far from Him? Have you surrendered your life to Jesus, or are you still living in sin while going through the motions of worship? God sees the heart, not the performance. If you haven’t given your life to Christ, do it today.
Praise Is Your Secret Weapon
Praise is not just something we do because it is expected — it is a powerful spiritual tool that opens doors, wins battles, and releases blessings. God loves the praises of His children, He fights for those who praise Him, and He blesses their endeavors supernaturally. But He also requires that our praise come from a pure and surrendered heart.
As you go through this week, remember that you carry a weapon that does not require strength, money, or connections — just a willing heart. When the battle rages, sing. When the harvest is uncertain, praise. When you feel overwhelmed, lift your voice. The God is waiting to meet you there, and He will not come empty-handed.
Action Steps
- Build a daily habit of praise. Choose specific moments each day — waking up, commuting, or sitting at your desk — to pause and praise God. Let it become as natural as breathing.
- Praise God over your work and endeavors. Whether you are planting, selling, studying, or working, take time to praise God over it, trusting Him to bring the increase.
- Examine the purity of your heart. Before you praise, ask God to cleanse you of any sin. Also, ensure you worship Him sincerely; focus on Him.
Prayer Points
- Father, I thank You for the privilege of praising You. Thank You for loving to hear my voice lifted to You.
- Lord, teach me to praise You daily. Let praise become my habit and my heart’s default response.
- Father, as I praise You, please fight my battles for me. Let every conspiracy against me scatter in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, as I praise, let my business, career, and endeavors experience supernatural blessing beyond my expectations, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, open every prison door and break every chain in my life as I sing praises to You. Let every limitation be shattered by the power of Your presence, in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, please purify my heart. Remove every hypocrisy and sin from me, and let my praise flow from a clean and sanctified heart that glorifies You, in Jesus’ name.
- Praise God for 30 minutes to 1 Hour.
