THE GOD PLEASER

   
Please never respect anyone enough to please them at the expense of pleasing God and yourself.

SCRIPTURE: These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. Genesis 37:2

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Please never respect anyone enough to please them at the expense of pleasing God and yourself.

In life, those who follow the crowd usually get lost in the crowd, but those who take a stand for God stand out in life. It is important to know that your assignment in life is not to see how many people you can please but how much you can please your Maker and be at peace with your actions.

Please, never respect anyone enough to please them at the expense of pleasing God and yourself. You must always take a stand against evil even if you have to stand alone. Stand against evil even if it means standing against your blood relations, or closest friends. This was what made Joseph to stand out in his generation.

Please understand this: The fact that you and your siblings came out of the same womb does not mean you have the same destiny. Having the same father doesn’t mean having the same future. Life is a product of personal adventure. What you do with your life today determines where you find yourself tomorrow. 

So, to please other people at the expense of pleasing God makes you a nonentity on earth. Refuse to join those who refuse to take a stand for God so you don’t become a nonentity in life. 

Beloved, if you are a political officer holder, do the right thing even if you have to sacrifice a second tenure. Be A God pleaser.  

Remember this: Please never respect anyone enough to please them at the expense of pleasing your God and yourself

PRAYER: Thank You LORD for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace and discipline to please You always, LORD in Jesus’ Name.

AN OUTWARD SHOW OF AN INNER TRUTH

AN OUTWARD SHOW OF AN INNER TRUTH .* *Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD (Psalm 134:2).* Have you ever wondered why oftentimes, people look towards the sky when we say, “Let us pray?” It’s actually an outward show of an inner truth, of something spiritual, because the Father isn’t in the sky but inside us; He lives in you. So, don’t get confused by the motions and outward expressions and gesticulations.  *Psalm 141:2* says, *“Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”* When David, a prophet of God, wrote this, he was well acquainted with the priesthood ministry of the Old Testament in the old tabernacle. He spoke prophetically and likened the evening sacrifice in the Old Testament to the lifting of our hands in worship today.  Also, the Bible says, *“Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD”* *(Psalm 134:2).* The Apostle Paul reiterated the same thing; he understoo...

*DON’T CONDEMN OTHERS

 .* *Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).* In your life, don’t be too quick to find fault with others. Don’t give in to the urge to condemn. The Bible says the Lord Jesus has been  *“…ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead”*  *(Acts 10:42 NKJV).* He alone is the true Judge, and He’s rich in mercy. There may be some people around you, perhaps, even in your local church that may not be living right; don’t judge them. Instead, be the light that wins them over. That’s what Jesus said in our theme verse.  One of the reasons people may not be living right where you are may be that your light isn’t shining brightly enough. When a Christian condemns other Christians about their way of life, he may think he’s being spiritual when it’s actually an expression of carnality. Don’t write anyone off because of their errors; Jesus also paid the price for their mis...
