THE KEY TO ENCOUNTERING GOD THROUGH PRAISE.
Text: Psalm 34:1.

Different ways of encountering God- Abraham thru sacrifice of Isaac
Jacob thru Prevailing Prayer:
Solomon thru extravagant giving. 1000 bulls.
David thru Praise and worship.

To truly encounter God through Praise, we need to discover the key/ secret/ pin or password.
And we have it in Psalm 34:1. There have been people that had the opportunity to encounter God through the instrumentality of Praise but because they couldn’t discover the key, they missed their blessing and breakthrough.

There have also been others who had the opportunity and knew the key and their story changed.
“AT ALL TIMES” is the key, it looks simple and easy but not so easy. If we can be honest to our selves we can agree that everybody cannot bless the Lord at all times.

It is easy to bless the Lord when things are going well, everybody can sing when on the mountain top but not everyone will sing in the valley- when tragedy strikes.

Israeli Captives- Psalm 137:1-4. They couldn’t bless the Lord at all times. They held unto wrong theology. If there was any place that requires the Lord’s songs it was in Captivity.

The slave girl in Naaman’s house is proof.
But captivity took their songs and hung their harps. When you refuse to pray and praise you become a Prey.

Elisha accessed the supernatural realm through music to provide solutions: 2 Kings 3:14-16; Solution to those battles you are going through now can come through encounter.

Praise and worship will take you beyond the gates. Psalm 100:4 ; Acts 3:1-2.
Many people that come to church only stop at the gate during worship, they don’t enter- until you go beyond the gate, you cannot encounter God. The lame man was unable until his lameness lifted- the spiritually crippled cannot go beyond the gate into His Presence.

PAUL AND SILAS-Acts 16:23-26. “AT ALL TIMES TIMES” key produced mid- night miracles that affected others positively.
When you experience real encounter it will go beyond you to others also.

THE GOD THAT IS NEVER LATE.
Text: John 11:1-26,39-40.
He is the God of times and seasons. He is in full control. He is too big to come late- He is not a Nigerian- we are known for lateness with our African brothers and sisters. That is why we have African time. Martha’s relationship with Christ should have caused her to know that God never comes late. But sometimes our circumstances can cloud of vision of possibilities and keep us where we need not to be. Don’t let your circumstances push you into seeing God negatively. The voice of your circumstances can convince you that God is late in helping you, beware.
SOME PEOPLE DID SO AND IT DID NOT PAY OFF.
People like Abraham and Sarah who had almost won the battle but slipped at the dying minute- and it resulted into producing Ishmael.
King Saul started threading the part of rebellion when he waited for Samuel and thought he was late- 1 Samuel 13: 8-14. Martha underrated Jesus and classified Him as one of those who don’t respond promptly when situations are closing up on the people they love- wrong assignment, wrong conclusion.
Job took a different position- Job 13:15-16.
GOD CANNOT BE LATE NO MATTER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastics 3:11
WHEN YOU KNOW THAT THIS GOD IS NEVER LATE.
1. You will enjoy peace in the midst of trouble- Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 119:165,
2. You will know that what the enemy means for evil, God will turn it for your good.
3. Like David, you will patiently wait on.
