Preacher: Pastor Allen G. Dlamini
Main Scripture: Luke 19:39–40
Jesus responded to the Pharisees who told Him to rebuke His disciples for praising Him, saying:
“If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” (Luke 19:40)
This means that praise is inevitable. If we don’t do it, creation is ready to take our place. There will always be people who oppose your worship, but don’t let them silence your praise.
“For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.” (Romans 8:19)
This verse reminds us that all of creation is waiting for us to take our rightful place as children of God. If you choose not to praise or worship, nature is willing to replace you. Don’t allow that. Step into your divine assignment.
“Blessed is the one… who delights in the law of the Lord... They are like a tree planted by streams of water.” (Psalm 1:1–3)
When you consistently worship and align yourself with God, your life flourishes like a tree near water. Stay rooted in Christ and avoid ungodly influences—you will bear fruit in every season.
Sometimes a tree outside may give more peace than a roof inside—this reflects how important a godly atmosphere is in our homes and relationships.
Embrace others. Be a blessing in your environment. Don't let nature or inanimate creation become a better blessing to others than you are.
Let the testimony of others about you be like what David declared:
“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalm 34:1)
Remember the old hymn:
“Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry; while on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by.”
Your praise places you in God's sight. When He opens doors, you will be included. When He rises to defend, you will be covered.
“Then Balak said to Balaam, ‘What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but you have done nothing but bless them!’” (Numbers 23:11)
Even when people try to curse you, God can flip it into a blessing. When your life is full of worship, God commands blessings on your behalf.
You will be included.
Included in blessings.
Included in favor.
Included in divine protection.
Included in God’s next move.
Don't be silent—praise, so you are not replaced.
