SATISFYING HIS PLEASURE

Text: Revelation 4:11

" You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."

Your life is like a candle that burns, and every single person on earth is certainly burning for something, the question is; what are you burning for?

A missionary once said, "People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives … and when the bubble has burst, they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted."-Nate Saint.

Your major and singular responsibility as a man on earth is to simply burn for God's pleasure and purpose.

You are created for God's pleasure, hence, His Pleasure must prosper in your life.

If you truly believe and know that you are created by God, then you must truly live for Him.

To live for God is to satisfy God's pleasure and purpose in your life. You are not just born here on earth to be a goal setter and achiever- setting and achieving your own goals only. You must know that you are also a goal to be achieved by God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Anyone who is wise enough knows that the first goal to be set is the goal of hitting God's goal for his own life. Your major goal is to give God pleasure. It is to please Him. It is to burn for Him.

No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing._ (Ephesians 2:10, Msg).

May you daily find the needed strength and grace to satisfy God's pleasure in your life. (Amen).

Bible Reading: Jeremiah 1: 1-7.

*PRAYER FOCUS*

1.) Father Lord, please cause me to daily find and satisfy your pleasure (that which pleases you) for my life and living in Jesus name.

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text : Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware. However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called believers. That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew 7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.* Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
