Seeds of Destiny 19 June 2026 – Your Praise, Joy and Abundance

Seeds of Destiny daily devotional by Dr. Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre for Friday, 19th June 2026. Topic: Your Praise, Joy And Abundance.

SCRIPTURE

Psalm 67:5-6 — Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Your praise puts the earth under pressure to release your due increase.

MESSAGE

There is something powerful that happens when your life becomes an expression of praise. When your life becomes an embodiment of praise to God, your focus is shifted from what is lacking to what is already working, and in that shift, joy begins to rise naturally. Not the kind of joy that depends on circumstances, but deep, steady joy that remains even in uncertain moments.

We shall be looking at some of the benefits of praise and joy as regards abundance:

1. Your praise puts pressure on your world to release your increase.
Psalm 67:5-6 says, “Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.” If you are a genuine praiser of God, human beings, systems and organisations holding what is yours are put under pressure to release it.

This shows that when we praise God, two things, amongst others, happen: First, the earth yields her increase. Second, God blesses us. Praise, therefore, provokes the earth to yield her increase and moves God to bless us. The more you praise Him, the more He blesses you. And the blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22). Your praise activates that blessing.

2. Praise activates divine inspiration, direction, and releases greatness.
There is a way you will praise God and worship Him, and He will show you what to do to obtain supplies. No wonder, Elisha the prophet said in 2 Kings 3:15, “But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him.”

If you are given to the lifestyle of consistent praise and worship of God, you will be divinely directed and daily instructed by God. You would not struggle for God’s Presence when you are a genuine praiser.

Beloved, avoid the spell of depression and the attitude of murmuring. Be deliberate and intentional with your joy and praise. That is why Paul the apostle admonishes us in Philippians 4:4 to always and deliberately rejoice in the Lord.

Remember This: Your praise puts the earth under pressure to release your due increase.

ASSIGNMENT

Go over today’s study once again.
Avoid the lifestyle of murmuring and deliberately refuse to let anything take away your joy.

PRAYER

Father, thank You for showing me the pathway to lasting joy and contentment. I receive the grace to remain joyful as I continue to trust You for the fulfilment of Your purpose for my life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
