OPEN HEAVEN 5 AUGUST 2024 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: OVERFLOWING PRAISE
MEMORISE
Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
Psalms 147:1
READ: 2 Samuel 6:14-16
14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 5 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
In today’s Bible reading, David praised God with all his might and danced with total abandon. This is a classic example of overflowing praise; no wonder God blessed Him beyond measure. When we overflow with praise towards God, He gives us blessings that are beyond measure. When you praise God, you please Him, and when you please Him, He makes even your enemies to be at peace with you (Proverbs 16:7). No wonder David never lost a battle; his overflowing praise always made God silence all his enemies before him.
When you go out of your way to praise God, He goes out of His way to shower you with abundant blessings.
To really give overflowing praise to God, you cannot set limits to your praise; you have to praise Him without ceasing. This means that you keep praising Him everywhere you go and while going about your daily activities. This also means that your major preoccupation throughout all your days should be to give Him praise continually. This is why every time people see me, they notice that my mouth is always moving – I am always singing choruses to praise my God. I remember one time l travelled outside Nigeria; I went to a bookstore to buy some books. While picking the books, I was singing praises to God. A white man came into the bookstore, saw me, and made a joke about my singing. We laughed, shook hands, and as he was about to leave, he said, “Wait a minute, it is gone!” Apparently, he had been suffering from a backache for years. The moment I shook his hands in that mood of worship, the backache disappeared. If you want to experience constant miracles everywhere you go, even when you are not expecting it, then you should be giving God overflowing praise.
Those who give God overflowing praise do not wait for Him to do anything for them before they praise Him. They praise Him in season and out of season. Just the fact that they get up from their beds in the morning is enough reason to give Him praise. In return, God ensures that He meets their needs even before they ask so that they can put more time and focus into praising Him. Before any trouble comes, He settles it so that the flow of praise does not stop. Beloved, make it a habit to praise God everywhere you go, and He will beautify your life with His abundant blessings.
OPEN HEAVEN 5 AUGUST KEY POINT
To give God overflowing praise, you must praise Him everywhere you go and at all times.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Jeremiah 6-8
HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY
OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 5 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Psalms 147:1
“Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.”
This verse reveals praise as a divine delight—both pleasing to God and beneficial to us. It’s not just an act of worship but a spiritual weapon that attracts God’s intervention.
BIBLE READING: 2 Samuel 6:14-16
David’s unrestrained worship teaches us:
- v.14: He danced with all his might—no holding back.
- v.15: His praise brought God’s presence (the Ark’s return).
- v.16: Human criticism (Michal’s disdain) couldn’t stop his overflow.
The Power of Overflowing Praise
Daddy Adeboye’s message unveils three transformative effects of unceasing praise:
1. Praise Silences Enemies (Proverbs 16:7)
- David’s Testimony: His lifestyle of praise made God fight his battles (2 Samuel 5:20).
- Key Principle: When you magnify God, He minimizes your struggles.
2. Praise Triggers Miracles (Acts 16:25-26)
- The Bookstore Encounter: Daddy Adeboye’s habitual singing released healing to the white man.
- Divine Physics: Praise disrupts darkness and activates miracles (Psalm 22:3).
3. Praise Invites Divine Priority
- For Overflowing Praisers:
- Needs are met before asking (Matthew 6:8).
- Battles are won before fighting (2 Chronicles 20:22).
How to Cultivate Overflowing Praise
1. Praise Without Ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
- Daily Habit: Like Daddy Adeboye, fill idle moments with worship (e.g., commutes, chores).
- Practical Tip: Download worship playlists to keep your spirit engaged.
2. Praise Without Limits (2 Samuel 6:22)
- David’s Mindset: “I will become even more undignified than this!”
- Action: Dance, shout, kneel—express praise physically (Psalm 150:4-6).
3. Praise Before the Breakthrough (Habakkuk 3:17-18)
- Sacrifice of Praise: Thank God in advance for victories unseen (Hebrews 13:15).
Prayer for a Life of Praise
“Father, make me a perpetual praise carrier! Break every spirit of self-consciousness or apathy in my worship. Let my praise silence enemies, unlock miracles, and keep me in Your presence, in Jesus’ name!”
Action Steps
- Start a Praise Journal: Record daily reasons to thank God (even small blessings).
- Praise Walk: Spend 10 minutes daily walking outdoors, worshipping aloud.
- Silence Critics: Next time someone mocks your zeal, respond like David: “I’ll praise Him more!”
Conclusion: Praise as a Lifestyle (Psalm 34:1)
Daddy Adeboye’s life proves: Overflowing praise isn’t occasional—it’s oxygen. When praise becomes your default setting, miracles become your daily reality.
“Don’t wait for a victory to praise—praise your way into victory. The louder you worship, the quieter your enemies become.”
