Contrary to popular teachings that come from worship leaders and beliefs that permeate Christendom, Hallelujah is not the highest praise according to the Scriptures. Although we find Alleluia being cried in heaven, the Word of God gives us an explicit answer to this question. In the book of Nehemiah, we read...
Neh 9:5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
We know that the name of the Lord is Jesus. Hence, the name of Jesus is the highest praise! So just shout Alleluia Jesus!
