Oyedepo recounts the story of a woman who was told she had three months to live. She entered her room, locked the door, and for three days did nothing but play worship tapes and shout praises. At the end of the third day, she felt a heat pass through her body. When she returned to the hospital, doctors found no trace of the disease. Oyedepo’s moral: "Praise is the hospital where incurable diseases die."
A crucial distinction in Understanding The Power Of Praise By Oyedepo is the difference between (giving thanks for what God has done ) and Praise (celebrating who God is ).
In that story, the armies of Moab, Ammon, and Mount Seir came against Judah. Instead of building bunkers or hiring mercenaries, Jehoshaphat appointed singers to go ahead of the army, singing, "Praise the Lord; for His mercy endureth forever."
