INTRODUCTION
Halleluyah is one of the
most confessed words spoken in heaven and it is spoken with a loud voice. The
shouts of Halleluyah have generally been attributed to some specific churches
in this part of the world and anyone seen shouting it consistently is seen as
making “enchantments” or belonging to an unorthodox church. Meanwhile they have
forgotten that halleluyah literally means “Praise
ye the Lord”. The question now is how many times are we supposed to shout praises
to the Lord? Biblically, unlimited times! You can shout it in the morning,
noon, evening and night. You can shout it a thousand times. There are no
restrictions to praising the Lord. During a thirty-day fast I embarked on in
year 2012, the Lord revealed the mysteries of the efficacy of Halleluyah shouts
and this book is as a result of that. Get ready for an encounter with a
revelation that will launch you to your divine destination as you place your
expectations on the Lord who is worthy to be praised.Chapter One: FACTS ABOUT HALLELUYAH
Rev. 19: 1-6 says:
“And after these things
I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation,
and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 For true and
righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did
corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his
servants at her hand.
3 And again they said,
Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and
twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the
throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out
of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear
him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it
were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as
the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent
reigneth.”
Halleluyah is a Hebrew
word, simply meaning “Praise ye Jah”. It can also be spelt as “halleluiah” or
“halleluyah”. The Latin or Greek form of it is “Alleluia”. The modern use is
“halleluya”. The English use it as “Halleluyah” meaning “praise yah”. Yah is a
shortened word for ‘yahweh’ (originally ‘YHWH’ before the introduction of
vowels letters by the Masorete), the name of God the creator. Halleluyah is
actually a two-word phrase which is ‘Hallel” and ‘yah’ or “jah” when using halleluyah.
Hallel in Hebrew means “a joyous praise in song, to boast in God. It could also
refer to someone who acts madly or foolishly”. It is used in Judaism as part of
the Hallel prayers. Halleluyah occurs sixty-one times in King James Version of
the bible.
Halleluyah in the Old
Testament is connected to the overthrown of the wicked. Anytime it appears in
the bible it mostly signifies victory over a strong enemy or attacks of the
wicked. Since God created us to praise Him, and Halleluyah is another form of
praising Him, then this means that there is no limit to how, when and where we can
praise the Lord.
Facts
About Halleluyah:
1.
Halleluyah is a heavenly language
The origin of Halleluyah
shouts started in heaven.
Ps. 148:1 Praise ye the
LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights
The scripture above
says praise the Lord from the heavens which shows an indication that Halleluyah
started from heaven. Angels were the first beings created and they were created
fundamentally to praise the Lord.
Ps 148:2 Praise ye him,
all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
2.
Halleluyah is a form of respecting the
Lord and acknowledging His Omni-potent power
Rev. 19:6 And I
heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many
waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord
God omnipotent reigneth.
Halleluyah Shout is a
form of saying to the Lord “I know you are the All-mighty God; the one who
holds all the powers in heaven, on earth and beneath the earth” (Isaiah 9:6,
Philip. 2:9-11).
3.
Halleluyah is a form of salutation to
God, the creator and the redeemer:
Matt. 28:9 “And
as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail.
And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.”
Therefore when you
shout Halleluyah, you are saluting the Lord just like a lower ranked soldier
will salute the General Commander. (Matt. 26:49; 27:29)
4.
Halleluyah is a form of saying to the
Lord that he is the holy God.
Ps 99:3 Let them praise
thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
5.
Halleluyah summarizes all the praises
you offer to the Lord
When you shout halleluyah,
it summarizes all the praises you would have offered to the Lord; therefore it
is the easiest way to praise the Lord.
Rev. 4:10-11 The
four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship
him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne,
saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for
thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
(KJV)
6.
You never praise God amiss when you
shout Halleluyah.
Ps 147:1 “Praise
ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant;
and praise is comely.”
It is possible to
praise God amiss depending on the words you use but when you shout Halleluyah,
you can never be wrong. It is like praying in tongues which make you pray
automatically in the will of God.
7.
The shout of Halleluyah is also the
shout of victory
Joshua 6:16 And it came
to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua
said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
The voice of victory is
a halleluyah shout.
Chapter
Two:
THE
SANCTITY OF HALLELUYAH SHOUTS:
Ps.
22:23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;
and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
The
fear of the Lord must go with the praise of the King. Our God is the Holy God
and whatever we do to obey Him must be done in reverence to Him.
The
Jews do not use the name, LORD, that is Yahweh often because it is one of the
holiest names of God and each time it is been use, the situation is critical.
This kind of Jewish attitude is needed when praising the Lord because His name
is holy.
Exodus
20:7 “No using the name of God, your God, in curses or silly banter; God won’t
out up with the irreverent use of his name.”(MSG)
Halleluyah
should never be shouted for fun. The Lord will hold anyone guilty that uses His
name in vain. It is pathetic that today some people joke with the Lord’s name
or the shout of halleluyah probably to mimic a character. There are some
precious things about the kingdom that should never be taken with levity or for
fun. One of those precious things is the names of God. This should be avoided
because each careless word has consequences.
Mt.
12:36-37 "Every one of these careless words is going to come back to haunt
you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously.
Words can be your salvation. Words can be your damnation.” (MSG)
Our
words matter. Each word becomes a plant either to justify us or to condemn us.
Therefore, when shouting Halleluyah, we should shout it deliberately and
reverently to the glory of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Chapter
Three:
WHY SHOULD WE SHOUT HALLELUYAH?
I
Pet. 2:8 says “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called
you out of darkness into his marvelous light”
1.
We
should shout halleluyah because he is our creator.
Ps.
100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we
ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
We must recognize that God is our Creator; He is our Lord,
and as a result, we should praise Him nevertheless there are those who do not
want to recognize God as their Creator, because they do not want to be
accountable to Him. Instead, they worship His creatures. As Christians, we
should never compromise by exalting the creatures over the Creator.
Rom
1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
2.
We
should shout halleluyah because He delivered us from the Kingdom of darkness to
the kingdom of light.
Col.
1:13 says “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated
us into the kingdom of his dear Son”.
The
price of the eternal redemption of man has been paid. If you are born again, it
was not by your ability but by the precious blood of Jesus. He forgave you your
sins without any payment. All He requires is your obedience. You should thank
Him for the provision of salvation from sin and the enemy of our lives.
3.
We
should shout halleluyah because we are still breathing.
Ps.
150:6 says “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD”
That
you are alive today is because of the Lord’s mercies. Every single breath in your
nostril was borrowed to you and the lender is God. What He requires from you is
to appreciate Him for the breath He graciously gave you.
4.
We
should shout halleluyah because He redeemed our life from destructions.
Ps.
103:2, 4a says “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who redeemeth
thy life from destruction”
If
you can look back, you will remember those instances that God delivered you
from incidents that would have claimed your life. No matter what you have lost
today, it is because of God that you have not lost everything. Therefore,
praise Him with Halleluyah shouts!
5.
We
should shout halleluyah because He is the sustainer of our life.
Ps. 3:5 says “I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the
LORD sustained me.”
There
are numerous reasons why you should praise the Lord at all times, no matter
what you are facing in life. We are primarily on earth to praise Him and once
the Lord sees that you are not fulfilling that, he takes you away. This is one
of the reasons why many die prematurely. When you are always grateful, He
sustains you. Gratitude makes God to do more for you. Therefore make up your
mind that you will be an addicted praiser.
Make up your mind that Halleluyah will not cease in your mouth.
6.
We
should shout halleluyah because He has crowned us with loving kindness and
tender mercies.
Ps.
103:4b who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies
It
is God’s love and kindness that produce Grace. Look at your life and you will
see that God has given you some blessings that your colleagues don’t have. It
is not by your strength that you have accomplished the feat that you now have.
Many people were smarter than you but the lot fell on you. You just notice that
people refer you to others; this is the finger of God. Don’t take it for
granted. Another part of the scripture is that he crowned you
with tender mercies. Wao! God’s tender mercies are beyond the regular and
general mercies that mankind enjoy. King David enjoyed this kind of mercy.
Things that should hang you are the gateways to your lifting. That is tender
mercies. It is not only that you escape from the trap of your enemies but God
turned it for your advancement. Praise Him for His tender mercies in your life.
Be grateful for where you are for your tomorrow is greater than you think.
7.
We
should shout halleluyah because He has satisfied us with good things
Ps.
103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed
like the eagle's.
God
is good all the time. No matter how you feel today, God has been so good that
you are still strong to read this message. Our youth is renewed because of His
goodness. All the good things of life, He has given us.
2
Pet. 1:2 “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God,
and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all
things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that
hath called us to glory and virtue”
Good
things include healing, health, money and everything money can buy, family,
love, ministry, breath etc. Be grateful for the level of goodness you enjoy
today and more will come.
Chapter Four:
THE BENEFITS OF HALLELUYAH SHOUTS
There
are benefits of shouting Halleluyah by faith in all the fourteen halleluyah psalms
and in various areas of the Scriptures. Below are thirty revealed benefits of
shouting Halleluyah in faith and consistently:
1. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke Heaven to release salvation - Rev. 19:1.
Ps
50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his
conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
Ps
118:21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
Anywhere praise is found, salvation is there.
2. When you shout Halleluyah, you provoke
the glory of God to come down. (Rev. 19:1)
Ps 148:13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for
his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
Anywhere praise is found, glory is there.
3. When you shout Halleluyah, honour
comes down -
Rev.19:1
Ps 66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his
praise glorious.
Anywhere praise is found, honour is there.
4. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
God Omni-potent (All Powerful God) fights for you
- Rev.19:6.
2 Chron.20:17 “You will not need to fight in this battle.
Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with
you, O Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out
against them, for the LORD is with you." (2 Chron.20:17)
5. When you shout Halleluyah, God
shall a surprise attack against your enemies.
2 Chron.20:22 And at the first notes of song and praise
the Lord sent a surprise attack against the children of Ammon and Moab and the
people of Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were overcome (Bible
in Basic English)
6. When you shout Halleluyah, total
victory is guarantee - 2 Chron.20:24,
And
he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them and of
the enemy. And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them
left. Then believed they his words; they sang his praise (Ps.106:10-12)
7. When you shout Halleluyah, you
spoil the enemies that have been spoiling you -
Ex. 3:22, 12:36, Deut. 20:14
Ex.
12:36 And the LORD gave the people
favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things
as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not
lay it to heart.”
The curse of devourers abides in the house of a
complainer! Here Jehovah Saboath is saying if you refuse to praise Him, he will
curse your harvest. This shows that when you shout Halleluyah, the LORD secures
your blessings.
9. When you shout Halleluyah, the LORD,
the avenger of blood will avenge for you
Rev. 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy
apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Judges 5:2 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of
Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
Have you been unjustly oppressed or has someone
murdered your loved one, don’t fight for yourself. Just shout halleluyah! Let
the Lord fight for you and avenge for you. I know it is not easy at all to
praise God when someone had murdered or killed loved ones. If you want justice,
give God some quality praise. Halleluyah shouts will provoke the avenger of
Israel to fight for you.
Deut. 32:43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for
he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his
adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

mine enemies. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated
me: for they were too strong for me.
Do you have a seemingly impossible enemy that you
have been battling with for long? It is time to shout halleluyah on that case. Our
God is a mighty one. He will deliver you from your strong enemy, from that
Pharaoh that wouldn’t let you go.
11. When you shout Halleluyah, you

heathen, and punishments upon the people
14. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord

God, O Zion. For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed
thy children within thee.
15. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
shall gives you peace all round.
Ps. 147:12,14 Praise
the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. He maketh peace in thy borders,

give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
16. When you shout Halleluyah, you
destroy the yoke of barrenness in your life.
Ps.113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house,
and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
17. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke the spirit of prophecy into your situation.
Rev. 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship
him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of
thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony
of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
18. When you shout Halleluyah, the
walls of limitations around your life shall fall down flat
- Josh. 6:1-20
19. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke divine presence into your situation.
Zech 2:10 Sing
and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst
of thee, saith the LORD.
20. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke divine intervention into your situation.
Ps. 109:30-31 “I will greatly praise the LORD with my
mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. For he shall stand at the
right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.”
Jer 20:13 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for
he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
21. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke divine connection.
Ps.113:1,7-8 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of
the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes,
even with the princes of his people.
22. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke the spirit of revelation.
Isa. 12:3-4 Therefore with joy shall ye draw
water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the
LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention
that his name is exalted.
23. When you shout Halleluyah, you undo
the anger of God against you
Isa. 12:1 And in that day you will say: "O LORD, I will praise You; Though
You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
Isa. 48:9 For
my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for
thee, that I cut thee not off.
Praise can undo the anger of God upon you. And not
only will He remove his anger, he will comfort you.
24. When you shout Halleluyah, the LORD
shall deliver you from the sting of death.
Ps. 56:10,13 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. For thou hast delivered
my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk
before God in the light of the living?
You can cancel death on the altar of praise. Halleluyah
is the master cure for untimely death. Any life that is constantly glorifying
God cannot be a candidate of untimely death.
Isa 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my
glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
God will not share his praise with any devil and
death is one of them. If you give Him the praise due to Him, he will not share
you with death because you are a praiser.
25. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
shall open the prison doors.
Acts 16:25-26 “And at midnight Paul and Silas
prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly
there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were
shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were
loosed.”
26. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
satisfies you with His goodness.
Ps. 107:8-9 “Oh that men would praise the
LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For
he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.”
27. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
breaks stubborn problems.
Ps. 107:15-16 “Oh that men would praise the
LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For
he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.”
28. When you shout Halleluyah, it stirs
up the spirit of thanksgiving.
Ps. 107:21-22 “Oh that men would praise the
LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! And
let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with
rejoicing.”
29. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
moves you from singlehood to family stage.
Ps 68:4, 6 “Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:
extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound
with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.”
The scripture encourages us to sing praises to the
Lord for He is a match maker. Are you single and you have prayed all the
prayers that you know how to pray, dedicate some time to give God praise for
your future spouse. Our God is the perfect match maker.
30. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
gives you rest roundabout
2 Chron. 20:30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for
his God gave him rest round about.
As a result of giving the LORD quality halleluyah
shouts in the midst of battle, Jehoshaphat had rest round about. God is
committed to give you rest from your battles if you are committed to give Him
praise.
Isa. 40:1-2 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably
to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her
iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all
her sins.

the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even
our own God, shall bless us.
13. When you shout Halleluyah, you
release the God of vengeance to arise on your behalf.
Ps. 149:6-7 Let the high praises of God be in
their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the
heathen, and punishments upon the people
14. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
Almighty strengthens you.
Ps. 147:12-13 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy
God, O Zion. For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed
thy children within thee.
15. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
shall gives you peace all round.
Ps. 147:12,14 Praise
the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. He maketh peace in thy borders,
and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
2
Thess.3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself
give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
16. When you shout Halleluyah, you
destroy the yoke of barrenness in your life.
Ps.113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house,
and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
17. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke the spirit of prophecy into your situation.
Rev. 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship
him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of
thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony
of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
18. When you shout Halleluyah, the
walls of limitations around your life shall fall down flat
- Josh. 6:1-20
19. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke divine presence into your situation.
Zech 2:10 Sing
and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst
of thee, saith the LORD.
20. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke divine intervention into your situation.
Ps. 109:30-31 “I will greatly praise the LORD with my
mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. For he shall stand at the
right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.”
Jer 20:13 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for
he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
21. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke divine connection.
Ps.113:1,7-8 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of
the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes,
even with the princes of his people.
22. When you shout Halleluyah, you
provoke the spirit of revelation.
Isa. 12:3-4 Therefore with joy shall ye draw
water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the
LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention
that his name is exalted.
23. When you shout Halleluyah, you undo
the anger of God against you
Isa. 12:1 And in that day you will say: "O LORD, I will praise You; Though
You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
Isa. 48:9 For
my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for
thee, that I cut thee not off.
Praise can undo the anger of God upon you. And not
only will He remove his anger, he will comfort you.
24. When you shout Halleluyah, the LORD
shall deliver you from the sting of death.
Ps. 56:10,13 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. For thou hast delivered
my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk
before God in the light of the living?
You can cancel death on the altar of praise. Halleluyah
is the master cure for untimely death. Any life that is constantly glorifying
God cannot be a candidate of untimely death.
Isa 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my
glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
God will not share his praise with any devil and
death is one of them. If you give Him the praise due to Him, he will not share
you with death because you are a praiser.
25. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
shall open the prison doors.
Acts 16:25-26 “And at midnight Paul and Silas
prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly
there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were
shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were
loosed.”
26. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
satisfies you with His goodness.
Ps. 107:8-9 “Oh that men would praise the
LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For
he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.”
27. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
breaks stubborn problems.
Ps. 107:15-16 “Oh that men would praise the
LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For
he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.”
28. When you shout Halleluyah, it stirs
up the spirit of thanksgiving.
Ps. 107:21-22 “Oh that men would praise the
LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! And
let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with
rejoicing.”
29. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
moves you from singlehood to family stage.
Ps 68:4, 6 “Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:
extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound
with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.”
The scripture encourages us to sing praises to the
Lord for He is a match maker. Are you single and you have prayed all the
prayers that you know how to pray, dedicate some time to give God praise for
your future spouse. Our God is the perfect match maker.
30. When you shout Halleluyah, the Lord
gives you rest roundabout
2 Chron. 20:30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for
his God gave him rest round about.
As a result of giving the LORD quality halleluyah
shouts in the midst of battle, Jehoshaphat had rest round about. God is
committed to give you rest from your battles if you are committed to give Him
praise.
Isa. 40:1-2 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably
to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her
iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all
her sins.
Chapter
Five:
QUALIFICATION
FOR MIRACLE-WORKING HALLELUYAH SHOUTS
1. You
must be genuinely Born Again
Jn.3:3
says “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except
a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Ps.137:4
says “How shall we sing the Lord is song in a strange land?”
Halleluyah
on the lips of a sinner is just a mere religious exercise. You cannot sing the
Lord is song when you are still in the domain of the enemy. You can’t remain in
darkness and expect to reign as light! For you to see the kingdom of God which
is the glory of God when you shout Halleluyah, you must have been translated
from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. Being born again is not
an option! It is either you are in or you won’t see the glory of God.
Matt.13:11
says “He answered and said unto them, Because it is
given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
is not given.”
Power
is void when identity is misplaced. A man that doesn’t know that he has been
crowned king will live a life of a servant. Therefore, being born again engrafts
you to using the wonder-working powers in Halleluyah.
Now
to be born again doesn’t mean you are going to church or you are baptized in
water; it means you are living the life that pleases God. It means to surrender
your life to the details of the word of God. It means making a decision to
follow Christ no matter how difficult it may seem.
2
Cor. 5:17 say: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
It
is time to let go of the old attitudes in your life and embrace the God kind of
nature. If you know that you have not surrender your life to Jesus or you are
still living in sin, this is your hour! This is the time for God to redeem and
forgive you of all your sins that your name be written in the book of life. If
you are born again but you know you have backslidden from the true faith, it is
time you return to the Lord and he will rebuild you again. Here is the promise
of the Lord if you will return today:
Jer.15:19-21
says: “Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee
again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from
the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not
thou unto them.
20
And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall
fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee
to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
21
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee
out of the hand of the terrible.”
Now
pray this prayer with your whole heart, mind and mouth: “Lord Jesus, I come to you today. Forgive me of all my sins. I
acknowledge am a sinner. Sanctify me with your precious blood. I believe that
you died for me and that you rose again for my justification. Right now and
hence forth, come be my lord and savior. Write my name in the book of life.
Give me the grace to love and serve you wholly from this day onward in and
through Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.”
Now
you are born again. You have been accepted into the beloved if you prayed the
prayer above sincerely.
Rom.8:17
says “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;
if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
2. You
must believe in the efficacy of Halleluyah
Ps.106:12
says “Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.”
Whatever
you don’t believe in, will not deliver its effects to you. And it understanding
of the knowledge of God is word that you hear that produce faith (Heb.11:1).
Just as it takes your faith in the anointing oil for it to produce in your
life, so also the invocation of Halleluyah releases its power to those who know
its value and believe it. Therefore receive the understanding of the powers in Halleluyah
in the name of Jesus.
Prov.21:16
says “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in
the congregation of the dead.”
It
is understanding that makes you outstanding! Once the mystery of the powers of Halleluyah
dawn on you, it will be easy to tap to its virtues. Therefore once again,
receive the insight to the wonder-working powers of shouting Halleluyah in the
name of Jesus.
3. You
must use it in the name of Jesus.
Prov.18:10
says “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it,
and is safe”
It
is through the name of Jesus that we gain access to salvation and it is in His
name that all other blessings are released into our lives. Everything bows to
the name of Jesus.
Philip.2:9-11
says “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is
above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in
heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue
should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
4. You
must shout it in faith
You don’t murmur Halleluyah, you shout it. Whatever
you cannot boldly declare you don’t really believe it.
2
Cor.4:13 says “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written,
I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak”.
Faith
is your connector to heavenly resources. It is faith that will make your Halleluyah
to get the attention of God; it is also faith that will transport God into your
situation.
Heb.11:1
says “Now faith is …”
The
Halleluyah shout should be by faith in your heart; that is the driving force to
bring to the answer you seek. Faith is a now force. According to Bishop David Oyedepo,
he redefined faith as “an irresistible force that can reverse any situation”. When faith is mixed with your praise, your
face will begin to shine with God’s grace. The quality of your faith is the
quality of your life; therefore engage the force of faith for ever-present help
when you invoke the powers of Halleluyah in your life.
Now that you know the benefits and the
qualifications of shouting Halleluyah, begin to put to work and you will see
the wonders of God. I remember a statement I heard the blessed Arch-Bishop
Benson Idahosa said, “Understanding is
simply sitting under the man that is standing.” This shows that
understanding mostly comes through the revelations God gives to men and when
you receive what has been given, you ride upon the same wave of glory that it
carries. Go and put to work with what you have received and let the LORD MOST
HIGH, the possessor of heaven and earth bless you with answers according to
your heart desires with divine speed in the name of Jesus. As you praise Him,
He will raise you! From today shame will be far from you. As you create an atmosphere
for the miraculous through the shout of Halleluyah, every prayer you pray this
year shall have speedy answers in the name of Jesus.
Chapter Six:
THE HALLELUYAH CHALLENGE
The Halleluyah Challenge is a situation where you
set a target to shout halleluyah to a certain time or for a number of times to
engage God into your situation. It is to challenge the church to shout halleluyah.
For instance, it takes two seconds to shout a halleluyah. Imagine shouting halleluyah
for one hour or two on a particular challenge you are going through.
An
Example of Halleluyah Challenge: The case of Joshua and the wall of Jericho (Joshua
6:
Joshua was faced with a strong battle and it was to
be his first fight after the death of Moses. It was obvious that this was a
difficult task, if not an impossible task because Jericho had a strong curriculum
vitae. Firstly, Jericho had some Nephilims (men of huge sides and height, giants)
living there. Secondly, Jericho had trained warriors. Thirdly, Jericho’s border
wall was the strongest border wall to be erected at that time in history. History
has it that the wall of Jericho was over 11 feet high, 14 feet wide with
massive stones walls on top of it reaching thirty-five feet high. Even Rahab,
the harlot had her house just beside or on top of the wall.
Joshua
2:15 Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on
the city wall; she dwelt on the wall (NKJV)
But God in His infinite wisdom gave Joshua the
secret and that was the shout of victory which broke through the wall, for with
God, nothing is impossible.
Joshua
6:16,20 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the
trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the
city. So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it
came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people
shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people
went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Therefore, what is that challenge before you that
looks impossible, challenge your challenger with shouts of halleluyah and that
challenge will fall down flat. The children of Israel surrounded the wall for
six days without making a noise. Theologically, the number six represent the
number for man which is an indication that by the arm of flesh, you cannot win
a seemingly impossible battle but on the seventh time, victory came. Seven is
the number for perfection or completeness. Once the LORD of host is involved,
that problem must bow. You may have prayed, fasted, cried, sow seeds but if you
can praise God for that situation, result is guaranteed. Moreover the shout of halleluyah
is the best way to praise God. When you shout in the time of battle, it is a
sign that you have conquered fear and victory over your enemy is anticipated.
Another
Example of Halleluyah Challenge: Jehoshaphat and the enemies of Israel (2
Chron. 20)
2 Chron. 20:1 “It came to pass after this also, that the
children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the
Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.”
Three nations came up against the Judah to swallow
them up. Jehoshaphat, being a righteous king engaged the people in prayers.
During the prayer session, God spoke that this battle can only be won by
praise. Judah means Praise. It was the first time recorded in the bible where
praise was used as a weapon of mass destruction in a major battle. This action
was indeed ridiculous and unheard of, that in a battle, instead of bringing
your best soldiers, he brought the best praisers.
And the victory was clean and huge.
2 Chron. 20:21
And
when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and
that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army,
and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.
What a faith in the prophetic word! He believed and
acted in faith to praise the LORD in spite of death facing them. God is also
instructing us to believe Him and praise Him in that dead zone. Halleluyah shouts
are your gateway to sweat-less victory over your enemies. All the praisers were shouting Halleluyah, for his mercy endureth for ever.
As you challenge that problem with Halleluyah shouts, every stubborn
problem in your life, family, business and ministry will collapse forever in
Jesus name.
2 Chron. 20:25
And
when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found
among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels,
which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and
they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
The next thing to note in this victory was that there
was a great spoil to the extent that it took them three days to gather the
spoils from their enemies’ camp. Halleluyah!
Our God is too much. Not only that the victory was sweat-less, it brought
abundance to Judah. Imagine a whole nation gathering spoils for three days. The
harvest must have been beyond imagination. This is God at work. Therefore as
you shout Halleluyah, you will gather
great harvest that your hands will not be able to count them in Jesus name.
2 Chron. 20:29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms
of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the
enemies of Israel.
Finally, the LORD of Host granted Jehoshaphat rest
round about for all kingdoms feared to go against him in battle because they
knew that the LORD was fighting for him. When you engage in Halleluyah shouts
constantly, the LORD of host becomes your constant companion and if God be for us, who can be against us?
(Rom. 8:31)
Halleluyah
Songs
Halleluyah
songs are one of the ways to shout halleluyah. They are the songs that include
halleluyah in it. The Bible has 14 Halleluyah psalms which can be sang as a
song. In Hebrew, they are called Hallel
Psalms. They are:
Psalms
104, 105, 106, 111, 112, 113, 115, 117, 135, 146, 147, 148, 149 and 150.
Below halleluyah
songs are some of the popular ones sang in Nigeria and the world. Angels in
heaven are singing the Halleluyah songs,
why shouldn’t we join them. Do you know why God’s glory keeps on glowing in
heaven? It is because halleluyah never ceases in heaven. Praises magnifies the
glory of God in any atmosphere. God may be in a place, but for His presence to
be felt there, give him praise. When praises goes up, blessings comes down. The
best way to invite God in a place is through praise, and halleluyah song is one
of the best ways to praise God.
I believe when we get to heaven, one of the most
sang songs will be the halleluyah songs.
Therefore get ready for heavenly visitations as you join the hosts of heaven to
praise and worship the lamb who sit upon the throne.
Finally, Jesus made a strong remark during his last
days on earth which has become my mantra for action-driven information.
John
13:17 "If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them.”(Bible
in Basic English)
The blessing does not come to talkers but to doers.
Therefore, to harness the benefits of halleluyah shouts, you have to put this
mystery to work. God bless you richly and make you a wonder to your world in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
1. Halleluyah,
thine the glory!
