When you give someone a gift they truly value, their reaction is immediate. They don’t wait to inspect it, test it, or analyse it. They burst into praise, thanking you, celebrating, and expressing joy.
The way we take possession of the blessings of God requires strange praise. As people of faith, we don’t wait to see before we rejoice. We believe we receive when we pray, not when the manifestation appears.
Do not wait until the promise is in your hands to open your mouth. Practise your praise now. See yourself walking through the doors of your new business. Hear the chirp of the key unlocking your new vehicle. See yourself signing the contract for that billion-dollar deal. Picture yourself leaping, pain-free and fully healed. Praise in advance sets the stage for what’s coming.
