Hello and welcome to the topic "Praise Is God's Food". As a typical African and Nigerian, my best food is Amala and ogbono soup .

If you mistakenly leave me in your house with such along with an order not to touch it, there is a high chance I will disobey your order.

My best bet is that if you decide to give me that food for a while week, I won't get tired of it. I never get tired of that food. Trust me, I am a student and most times, that what I survive with.

God's Food Is Praise

The book of Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 1 says;

Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season

In order to reach God in the old testament, there was need to make sacrifices of bulls and Rams just to appreciate God. However after the the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, the means of appreciating God for all the things He has done took another turn.

Now, before the dawn of the new testament, a lot of people made a lot of sacrifice to God. Therefore this tells us that the sacrifices that they made as at then was designed to really make God change His mind towards the..

See for example Solomon. He offered a sacrifice to God which actually cost him much but as it was for God , it was even little to him and God asked to name whatever he wanted and it will be granted to Him.

What about Noah after the flood??. In Genesis chapter 8 vs 20-22, it say;

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood.
And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
“As long as the earth endures,seedtime and harvest,cold and heat,summer and winter,
day and nightwill never cease.”

According to the passage above, it was recorded that the Offering was a "sweet smelling savor" indicating that the offerings were accepted by God. You may want to say He ate the offering.

What does this tell us in essence in the present times?..It only means that we have nothing to offer God than praising and glorifying Him. It is our praise that moves God to doing wonders. It pushes God to pour out His blessing upon us .

This entails in essence what what God requires of us is sacrifices of praise which include;

• Fruit of our Lips

• Offering our Bodies

• Our resources (i.e money)

However, it is important to note here that how we praise Him matters seriously. Flattering God with the words from our mouth goes a long way to making Him stretch His hands of blessing towards you. But we must come praising Him and worshiping in spirit and in truth. It is what we must do genuinely.

Therefore brethren , let's note that God never gets tired of our praises and we must do this continually.
