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

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

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

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
