LIVING FOR HIS PLEASURE

Text :  Revelation 4:11 

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Everything in heaven and on earth were created for God's pleasure, and any of His creature or creation that ceases to give Him pleasure shall seize to radiate His glory.

Our God is a God of pleasure Himself. When you think of the various forms of pleasures He has created for man to enjoy, then you should know that He knows what pleasure really means. Hence, He wants to continually receive ceaseless flow of pleasure from all His creations and creatures, especially man.

Imagine a manufacturer who has produced a car for the purpose of his   comfort, mobility and pleasure. One day, the manufacturer picks up his car key to travel a 100km journey. He starts the car and embarks on his journey. While on the journey, the car decides to stop and tell the manufacturer "I'm no longer willing to continue the journey with you anymore."
The manufacturer asked the car, "Why?" The car answered, "I have discovered another purpose for my life. And I want to start flying like an aeroplane henceforth.

What do you think will happen to the car thereafter? The manufacturer ordered for another car from the factory and instructed his staff to dismantle the old car because it's no good for any use again.

In the same way, *God has an intention for your life, and that is to give Him pleasure; and to give pleasure to God is to Please Him in all that you do.* 

Before Jesus Christ launched into a full scale ministry, he heard a voice from God saying, "this is my well beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased".

God was pleased with Jesus Christ because His pleasure  prospered in Jesus's hand. Prophet Isaiah prophesied long before Jesus was born in this manner, _"...the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."_ 
(Isaiah  53:10).

God's pleasure prospered in Jesus's life and ministry. Hence, God was, is and will always be pleased with Him.

You need to ask yourself:

Is my life giving pleasure to God?

Is God's pleasure prospering in my life, marriage, home, ministry or career?

Always remember that you were created for God's Pleasure and God's pleasure you must always serve.

Bible Reading:

Isaiah: Isaiah 53:1-12.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, please give me more desire to satisfy your pleasure.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
