1. By repeating the name of God.
   You repeat the name of God by calling it again and again and again, as often you like. The more you call the name of God, the more you rise in spiritual growth, the better for you and the powerful your protection is.
   


2. By singing praises to the name of God.
   On the day Jesus and I visited the highest heaven, He said, “Sing praises”.
   On the day Jesus transformed into Jesus of Nazareth, He said, “Sing praises to God.”
   On the day, I became the Lion of Tribe of Judah, Jesus and I said, “Sing praises to God.”
   The facts that King of Kings and Lord of Lords says, “Sing praises to God,” underlines the importance of singing praises to God. By singing, we call God’s name, and speaks of His great and wonderful works of love. By so doing, we thank, praise and honor Him. Also, and inevitably so, we receive everlasting blessings and favors.
   


3. By reading about God.
   When we read about God, we mentally and spiritually chant the name of God. Furthermore, we read and chant the various qualities of God. The reading, chanting and qualities transform us into the the very nature of God. The ultimate is that we become manifest God and then can hear, see or experience God almighty. The more charcoal stays in fire, the more it becomes one with fire, eventually, itself becomes consuming fire. So it is with those who are always conscious of God. This is a very good practice for those who are always engaged in their daily works. It is very good and fit for drivers, masons, traders, travelers, cooks …etc, who actively engaged and whose duties demand maximum attention.
   I remember a message Angel Gabriel gave concerning a driver. He said, “You use to sing/play songs of praises while driving your truck on the high way. You have stopped the practice. But you have to restart and continue it.” The fact that such a message comes from heaven means that calling, chanting and praying the name of God is very important.
   


4. By playing songs and music of divine nature.
   Such songs and music thank and praise God, and testify of His loving kindness, mercies and providence.
   


5. By participating in Godly activities.
   By Godly activities is meant any action, duty, service or occasion organized because of God. The activities include prayer, worship, meeting, ceremonies, crusade, etc. All through the event, even days before its occurrence and many days after its happening, we mentally and spiritually engage ourselves chanting the name of God, as remember the occasion.
   


6. By setting ring tones that praise God.
   The ring tone plays each time you have a call or receive text message. In other words, you organize the things you use to enable you remember, chant or praise God’s name from time to time.
   


7. By meditating on the names of God.
   You meditate on a name by thinking about it. As you do so, you not only remember and praise God, but in addition develop and manifest those qualities of God.
   


8. By setting your screen saver to display the names of God.
   This practice helps you remember, chant and praise God from time to time. You should know that each time you see, hear, or remember God’s name that you also then chant the name, both mentally and spiritually. And your silent prayer sounds like thunder and lightening before the throne of God.
   


9. By setting your desktop to display the names of God.
   The display may be on the computer monitor, on the screen of your handset or on a thick paper mounted on your table.
   


10. By wearing the name of God on bangles and rings.

11. By using stickers to display the names of God at strategic positions in your house, office, company, or church.
    
    6 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:6-9
    


12. By memorizing relevant portions of the holy books.
    The holy books inlcude the Bible, scriptures, sacred texts, etc. One special advantage of this method is that the moment you recite the first line in the verse, you are most likely to chant the whole verse to the end. Avery good example is found in psalm 24.
    
    7 Lift up your heads, O you gates!
    And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
    And the King of glory shall come in.
    8 Who is this King of glory?
    The LORD strong and mighty,
    The LORD mighty in battle.
    9 Lift up your heads, O you gates!
    Lift up, you everlasting doors!
    And the King of glory shall come in.
    10 Who is this King of glory?
    The LORD of hosts,
    He is the King of glory.
    Psalms 24:7-10
    


13. By composing the names of God into songs and music, beats and rhythms.
    The composition may be dance, merry making or play.
    


14. By composing folktales and folksongs with names of God.
    One day, Jesus said about folktales, “You spend precious time telling children folktales, which benefit nothing.” On earth, the folktales seem to entertain and teach wisdom, but in the spirit they add no value to life. In fact, the spiritual work of something is measured by its value in heaven. That is why many are living meaningless and useless life, even when they are rich and popular. Their lifestyles here on earth adds no value to the worth and mansion in heaven.
    


15. By watching video films of God. The video film may on worship, prayer, testimonies, etc.
    It is very unfortunate that humanity, especially the youths, who are the future leaders, spend enormous amounts of time, money and resources on watching video films of all kinds of evil - violence, rape, murder, war kidnapping, stealing, robbery, etc. The video industry calls it entertainment and the society say, “it doesn’t matter,” but the heavens call it ‘the broad and easy way’ that leads to hall fire.
    


16. By engaging in regular prayers and worship at set times.
    Examples and opportunities are morning prayers and devotion, afternoon recitation and remembrance, evening benediction and praise, night prayers and watch, etc. The Catholic Church is very good at doing this, except that in most cases, the meaning and purpose are wrong.
    


17. By using memory verse.
    By this method, specific portions of the holy books that chant or praise God are announced to the entire congregation on a weekly basis.
    


18. By using the light of the day.
    The light of the day is obtained by casting a holy book at the end of an opening prayer. The book is cast as follows:
    • Somebody holds a holy book.
    • He closes his eyes.
    • As the opening prayer is concluded, he opens the book to any specific portion, by pointing finger and without preference to any particular portion.


19. By radio and television studios helping people to chant the name of God.
    They can do this by playing jingles that chant God’s name or praise His goodness. Out of ignorance, they are busy playing only worldly jingles and adverts that have no values in heavens.
    The use of radio and television jingles helps those who do not have video, television, player or handset to benefit and participate in praising God by hearing and remembering God.
