Let Your Praise Outweigh Your Asking
Bishop Keith Butler
Romans 4:20 - He staggered not at the promise of God through
unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; (KJV)
God stayed with Abraham until he became strong in faith.
Notice that being strong in faith has something that goes with it...to be
strong in faith is to give God glory.
Well Abraham is giving God glory. Abraham is saying that he
is a father of a great multitude. Sarah isn't pregnant yet. She hasn't gotten
pregnant all these years. But he is giving God glory, and calling those things
which be not as though they were. He is calling himself a father now; not going
to be; but is father of a great multitude, now. And he is thanking God that he
is.
Abraham gave God so much glory, that he became fully
persuaded that God would perform what He said in His word.
When your praise outweighs your asking, you'll have your
manifestation. You need to praise God, not just make confessions of faith. You
need to praise Him because you believe the confession is so. Praise Him by
saying, "I'm getting stronger everyday. I'm stronger today than I was
yesterday, and I thank you for it, Father. I'm stronger in my mind, stronger in
my body, stronger in my bones, stronger in every way, than I was yesterday; and
thank you for it."
When Abraham followed Gods methodology for faith, he received
the promise. Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son.
Now God is going to close the deal on the enemy. His word is
in the earth. Jesus is born. Jesus walks the earth, and only says what God
says. Jesus only speaks that which the Father tells Him to speak. And that is
so important. The need to discipline your mouth cannot be overstated.
Practice saying what the Bible says when the pressure is on.
It is so tempting to say the wrong thing when your emotions are high. But you
have to deliberately say what God says and couple that with praise. Give God
glory by praising Him in the middle of the crisis. Let it be said about you
that you are strong in faith because you were able to control your tongue, and
your praises outweighed your asking.
