The Power of Praise: Engaging the Key of David

By Bernard Tackie

Engaging the Key of David The Master Key (Rev. 3:7)

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
Psalm 150:6

It is the duty of the New Creation to praise God to build His throne on earth.

Are you ready to give God the praise?

Do you want God to come and reign in your life?
Do you want to see Him as the righteous JUDGE in your case?
Do you want Him to pass sentence in your favour and cause your enemies to scatter?
Do you want the Kings focus and attention?
Do you need Him to speak on your behalf?
Do you want your case to be heard at the courtroom of the universe?
Do you need true Justice?

Then start praising God give Him his courtroom seat (PRAISE).

Remember that at the Court of Law;

Justice cannot be obtained until judgment is passed,

Judgment cannot be passed until there is a hearing of the case,

There can be no hearing until the judge is seated,

The judge cannot sit unless there is a seat for him to sit.

Your supreme judge needs His seat to sit on your case. He wants you to build Him a throne by offering Him the sacrifice of praise, the fruit of your lips (Hebrews 13:15).
Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11

This book is a must for every child of God.

INTRODUCTION

Imagine you have a father who is well to do, very rich and famous, lacking nothing in material wealth, who also loves you and cares for you: would you not be happy and feel good talking about him? Being so proud of him knowing for sure that your needs would be met? I guess you would be so happy running around with joy in your heart, smile on your face telling others how wonderful is your daddy—bragging and boasting about him until the people get fed up with you and say, "Enough is enough!

Yet as Christians, we do worry and sorrow pointlessly so much that some of us end up living on tranquilizers. Instead of standing tall and boasting about our father whose name is, "I AM"—the Almighty, the all Powerful, the all Sufficient God, who is more than able to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory (which is not determined by the economics) of this world, we tend to loose sight of Him. We allow the cares of this world to rob us from the joy and happy life that He desires for us as His children.

There are many out there who are imprisoned by the spirit of sorrow, worry and anxiety. They are chained by the spirit of fear, and cannot enjoy the life that God has given them. They are so concerned and overwhelmed about the future that they cannot enjoy the present; they complain and murmur instead of thanking God and praising Him. Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature Matthew 6:27.

Worry has never been known to solve problems. It will rather give you headache and destroy your brain. Worry will increase your fear. It will cause you to lose your mind. Worry will take from you, and will not add to you. But that is not the plan of God for you. God never intended for us to live a life of worry and anxiety. His plan for us is to have a joyful life.

"Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:4-7. (New Living Translation)

I am here to announce to you that, you can live the worry-free life through thanksgiving and praise.

I want you to know that your time has come. For I have come with this book to release into your hands the "Master Key"—the key of David (Rev. 3:7), to unlock your prison doors and to loose yourself from every chain of the enemy in order to have joy in serving God. It is time to know the joy of His salvation in your life. The Bible commands us to serve the Lord with gladness. Therefore Christian service must be something one should enjoy doing all the time—having pleasure, and not pressure in doing it. This book will restore unto you the joy of his presence.

"This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise." Isaiah 43:21

We were born to praise Him; therefore irrespective of your condition, praise Him, and keep on praising Him until the Devil gets fed up with you.

"Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, for His wonderful works to the children of men!" Psalm 107:8

"Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in Him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise His name in the dance: let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes pleasure in His people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their king with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgement written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD" Psalm
