God's Good Pleasure

 Revelation 4:11

Our ultimate aim in life should be to please God, our Creator.

The reason we have been created and came into this world is for the pleasure of God.

Whoever and whatever God is pleased with attracts God's blessings and benevolence.

Pleasuring God attracts His presence.

Requests made to God or prayers that God is pleased with will not only get answered but manifest more than what we asked from God in terms of results and testimonies.

A great example of this is seen in the life story of Solomon the wise king and son of king David.

Solomon was a young prince who had just stepped into the 'shoes' of his father who was a legend in every sense of the word.

It was a huge responsibility for any young man to step up to.

Aware of the huge task of leading God's people ahead of him, Solomon asked for wisdom when God presented him with an opportunity that can be likened to being given a blank check by God Himself.

Solomon's request for wisdom pleased God and that was the start of Solomon's distinction as a king and as a man.

1 Kings 3:5-14

It doesn't matter how fervent, loud, and physically dramatic a person's prayer may be; if it doesn't please God it is a waste of time.

Anything that glorifies God pleasures God.

Nature and creation declares the glory of God.

Psalm 19:1

After creation, God was satisfied and took pleasure in all He created. God saw that they were good.

Genesis 1:31

You are the work of God's hands and God wants to receive pleasure and satisfaction from your life.

This is what your life's assignment and purpose is about, satisfying God and bringing God pleasure.

We are meant to bring God pleasure by glorifying Him.

God is glorified in our worship and our praise.

Psalm 22:3

God is glorified through our obedience to His word and instructions.

John 14:15, 25

God is glorified through our testimonies of His work.

Psalm 107:31

Revelation 19:10

Our success, our results, our fruitfulness glorifies God.

John 15:7,8

God is pleasured and glorified in His church, His holy assemblies.

Hebrews 12:22-24

God is glorified when we persist in doing His will against all odds.

Ephesians 6:13

Matthew 6:10

God is pleasured when we are mindful of His kingdom.

Matthew 6:33

Our faith (the faith of God in us) pleasures and pleases God when used.

Hebrews 11:6

Believers are people of God saved by Jesus Christ to glorify God as His servants on the earth.

Isaiah 49:3

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
