HIS PLEASURE


Text: Revelation 4:11

Thou at worthy oh Lord, to receive glory, honour and power, for thou hath created all things and for thy pleasure, they are and were created.

All things were made by Jesus and without Him was not anything made that was made. John 1:3.

All things (yourself inclusive) were not just created by Jesus, they were created for Him.

If you have been wondering why you were created, or what exactly your primary purpose was. Well, here is the answer. YOU WERE CREATED TO BRING HIM PLEASURE.

God said concerning Jesus in Matthew 3:17 that He is a Son that brings the Father much pleasure. Matthew 17:5. This is exactly what God is looking for in you - Pleasure.

Why is it difficult for men to give God pleasure?

1. Pleasure of sin. The reason people are so attached to their sins is because sin has pleasure.  The bait of sin is the pleasure, but the end of sin is death.  The wages of sin is death,  but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23.

2. Because Men are lovers of pleasure. God wants our lives to bring Him pleasure,  but men(fallen man) have turned away from God to become lovers of themselves. This is one of the signs of the end time.  2Timothy 3:4. Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. 

To please the father or to bring pleasure to the Father,  you must note these two things :

1. Have faith in God : Hebrews 11:6 says empathically that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Because he that comes to God must believe that He is,  and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

This faith is a total trust and reliance on God.

2. Quit walking in the flesh.  It's so clear from Romans 8:8 that they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit if the Spirit of God is in you. 

 *We are unto God a sweet  smelling savour of Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:15, Ephesians 5:2. *Let your life bring out a beautiful fragrance unto our God* 

Bible reading: John 1:1-18.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
