Praise & Worship – The Remnant – We Just Want to Thank You Lord – 14th June 2019

In the wise words penned by Matt Redman in his song: ‘every blessing You pour out, I’ll turn back to praise.’ Everything we have, every talent, an ounce of goodness, it’s all because the Father, the Creator, thought it well to give it to us. In the profound words of the Psalmist: “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”

Psalms 16:2

So with all we have, with every breath in us, with our every resource and every grain of strength in us, we praise our God. Even when it feels unfitting or the situation around us shows us there is nothing to be grateful for, we will praise, this is more than music, more than one person, more than all the things we can offer, praise is a weapon for the people of God. Yield it powerfully! Above all things, remember, every blessing that we do not turn into praise, eventually becomes pride. And that marks the end of the offering and this Ministry in our hands.

“And the Levites–Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah–said: “Stand up and praise the LORD your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting.”

“Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.” Nehemiah 9:5 This is the job of the priests of the Lord, the Holy Priesthood, to remind the people, the people who are broken and rebuilding their foundation in Christ, to stand up and praise the Lord ours and their God, everlasting forever, even beyond our earthly problems, remind them, make them rise up and bless the glorious Name of our God.
