Continuously Isa.6:3 – “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord

Wonders Ex. 15:11 – “Who among the gods is like
you, Lord? Who is like you - majestic in holiness,
awesome in glory, working wonders?”

and I have been saved from my enemies”

openly profess his name”.

Praise To God?
1.) Even Though God Is Universal For All
Mankind, Yet He Accepts Praise From Those
Who Draw Near To Him In Holiness And
Repentance.
James 4:8 – “ Come near to God and he will come near to
you. Wash your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you
double-minded”
Ps.24:3-5 – “Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? The
one who has clean hands and pure heart, who does not trust
in an idol or swear by false god. They will receive blessing
from the Lord and vaccination from God their saviour.

What Does It Take To Offer An Acceptable Praise To God?
2.) To off er an acceptable praise to God, it is
necessary to be a child of God. We must
confess our sins to God and repent from them.
1John 1: 8-10 “ If
we claim to be without sin, we deceive
ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us
from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not
sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in
us”.
2 Cor.5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new
creation has come. The old has gone, behold
everything is new”
It is after this that your sacrifice of
praise can be acceptable to God.
In Summary, It is not enough to praise
God; we must ensure that our praise
is acceptable to Him.
Conclusion; Praising God is the only thing

we can do for Him. It is an inevitable
aspect of worshipping God.
