HALLELUJAH ANYHOW

August 20, 2013

We live in a world where anything can happen. It is a world where going to work can end in tragedy. It is a world where waking up becomes difficult for some. It is a world where some without any notice just get laid off at work. As much as we believers look on the bright side of life always, we should also understand that life would always be life. Knowing God would not keep tragedy from knocking on your door. However, there is one profound scripture in 1Th 5:18 that says, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” In order words, keep shouting Hallelujah no matter what.

Hallelujah is the highest form of exhortation or praise. We shout it as a proclamation of confidence in the One that sits up there. We shout it because we have an understanding that even though it may appear that our burdens are overbearing – God cannot fail and that He is still awesome, mighty and wonderful.

There are many situations that would ordinarily make you want to just scream, “God, why me?” Sometimes we find ourselves in some situations that we doubt if God is still in control, however, when we just take the time to ponder upon what God has done in the past for you, irrespective of what you are going through, shout Hallelujah anyhow.

Sir, you may have no food to eat, some have the food but cannot eat. Hallelujah Anyhow! Whether there is money in your account or not, Hallelujah anyhow! Your job application just got rejected, Hallelujah anyhow. You just got dumped by your supposed spouse, Hallelujah anyhow! Remember, God is always in control, and He deserves to be praised whether you have a reason to or not.

James 1:2 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” In order words, when your world is falling apart, when your problems are enormous, when temptations assail you on every side, just praise the Lord. Hallelujah! Let somebody shout Hallelujah!!!
