Declare The Glory Of God

by Reginald Ofori



If we are constantly speaking faith, and our friends are speaking unbelief, then we may have a problem. We might have to choose between our spiritual well-being and our friends. True prayer begins with confessing who God is. Before asking the Lord to heal and do signs and wonders and before the place was shaken, the apostles declared, "Sovereign Lord," they said, "you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them" (Acts 4:24). When Moses approached God's throne, he confessed who God is. The Scripture tells us, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name" (Psalm 100:4). True prayer begins by confessing who He is. We confess His glory. We confess His holiness. We confess His majesty. When I enter prayer, I always begin by telling God who He is: "Lord, You are God Almighty. You are just. You are pure. You are holy." I begin to magnify His holy name. "The heavens declare the glory of God," the psalmist cried (Psalm 19:1). He always began with exaltation. How can you approach God and immediately begin telling Him your needs until you tell Him how mighty He is to meet those needs? You begin by confessing how mighty He is. Prayer begins with declaring the glory of God. You cannot begin true prayer until you declare who God is. If you don't know that the promise of God is yours, then deal with your unbelief. Saturate yourself with God's word and pray in the Spirit to build your most holy faith (Jude 20) until you are fully persuaded He will perform His work in your life. Then pray with confidence, believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth what God has said. He wants to bless you just as much as He blessed Abraham.
