SUNDAY PRE-CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION SERVICE – December 22nd 2019
ANCHOR SCRIPTURES: HEBREWS 13:15; LUKE 2:13-14
MESSAGE TOPIC: STRATEGIC PRAISE
BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE

We are in a season where we mark the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ
It is a season that is marked with celebration because that is what the birth of Jesus heralded

WHAT THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST BROUGHT:

1. Praise from the earth to Heaven (Luke 2:13-14)
2. The season of peace from Heaven to earth (Luke 2:13-14)
3. The arrival of goodwill from Heaven to earth (Luke 2:13-14)

When there appears to be no physical reason to praise God, when praise appears difficult to offer; that is when praise is the most strategic.
When praise becomes more of a sacrifice, that is when it is most strategic, successful, resultful and impactful.

TYPES OF STRATEGIC PRAISE:

1. Praise in the midnight (Acts 16:25-26)
Anybody can praise in the daytime but it takes a strategic child of God who understands strategic praise to praise God in the midnight

WHAT IS PRAISE IN THE MIDNIGHT?
1a. Praise in the midnight is praise when contending with the forces of darkness
1b. Praise in the midnight is praise when light (direction) seems low (2Kings 3:15)
1c. Praise in the midnight is praise when action or activity seems slow

CONSEQUENCE OF PRAISE IN THE MIDNIGHT:
It provokes sudden drastic intervention

2. Praise in battle (Josh. 6:10,20; 2Chron. 20:21-23)

WHAT IS PRAISE IN BATTLE?
2a. It is praise in the face of sudden battles that arise without warning
2b. It is praise in the face of enemy gang-up and conspiracy
2c. It is praise when there is no physical strength or might to handle the conflicts at hand (2Chron. 20:12)

OUTCOME OF PRAISE IN BATTLE:
It provokes the participation of The Almighty in the battle

3. Praise in scarcity (John 6:11-12; Ps. 67:5-7)

WHAT IS PRAISE IN SCARCITY?
3a. It is praise in the face of overwhelming demands
3b. It is praise in the midst of desperate shortage and scarcity of provisions
3c. It is praise in the midst of severe need for fulfilment or satisfaction

OUTCOME OF PRAISE IN SCARCITY:
It provokes the unction for multiplication and connection to supernatural supplies

COUNSEL:

1. Praise God when you feel like it because it is a sign that there is a victory won in the realm of the Spirit that you may not be aware of (Ps. 106:47)
2. Praise God when you don’t feel like it because it is key to handling battles and situations you have no capacity to handle; it is key even to handling unforeseen battles (2Sam.
   22:4; Ps. 18:3)
