DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: WALK BY FAITH – LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT – AND BY THE WORD!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall NOT FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that ARE Christ\u2019s have CRUCIFIED [PUT TO DEATH] the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit”<\/em> Galatians 5:16, 24-25.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts”<\/em> Zechariah 4:6.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go of our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT\/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT\/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the path of PLEASING of God.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him”<\/em> Hebrews 11:6.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, the question and examination for us is to ask and take on is if the efforts we are exerting to accomplish anything whatever are of – the GOOD, the ACCEPTABLE and the PERFECT WILL of God as enjoined in the scripture of Romans 12:1-2<\/strong>? And we mustn’t forget that God’s WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. And while God must have EXALTED and LIFTED UP His WORD and His NAME, He has however MAGNIFIED His WORD ABOVE His NAME in order to ensure, assure and authenticate the immutability of His person and character in His grace, in the faith for us, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; FOR YOU HAVE EXALTED ABOVE ALL ELSE YOUR NAME AND YOUR WORD AND YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ABOVE ALL YOUR NAME!”<\/em> Psalms 138:2\/Amplified Classic Edition.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“Wherein God, WILLING more abundantly to SHEW unto the HEIRS of promise the IMMUTABILITY of His counsel, CONFIRMED it by an oath: 18 that by TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS [HIS WORD AND HIS NAME], in which it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to lie, we might have a STRONG CONSOLATION, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 which HOPE we have as an ANCHOR of the soul, both SURE and STEDFAST, and which ENTERETH into that within the veil; 20 whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, MADE an HIGH PRIEST for EVER after the order of Melchisedec”<\/em> Hebrews 6:17-20.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And with the context of His IMMUTABILITY, we can then ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God in the context of Hebrews 11:6 and Romans 12:1-2.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Therefore, what then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask. HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW but not limited:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Spend your most precious time on what God IS and has BECOME to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God, while Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS applause. [Philemon 1:6; Jeremiah 29:11; Philemon 1:6].<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on the enemy and cohorts presence irrespective, if you think you have one in labelled; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God’s presence as primarily as in His WORD on any context [Matthew 6:33; Psalms 16:11]<\/strong>. And God in His own terms, will makes the enemy and cohorts to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you [Proverbs 16:7]. <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? DON’T YOU WANT GOD TO BE IN CHARGE TO FIGHT YOUR FAITH OF FAITH INSTEAD OF YOU? [1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Joshua 5:13-15].<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
As for me, because I Do LOVE and have faith in trust of God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS, I won’t burn my time on the enemy and cohorts; instead, I burn my all PLEASING God in spirit and in truth. That’s the realm of living in an effortless position, and to keep one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, even in the midst of diverse challenges and obstacles in cause of living under the heavens in the earth.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matter that confronts me; and that’s what I want you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobia when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES”.<\/em> Galatians 5:25.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6<\/strong>, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Romans 8:1-4, 8<\/strong> states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consists of:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
1. Hearing (Hear)<\/span><\/div>\n
2. Seeing (See)<\/span><\/div>\n
3. Smelling (Smell)<\/span><\/div>\n
4. Tasting (Taste)<\/span><\/div>\n
5. Feeling\/Touching (Feel\/Touch)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE, PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost of his birthright to of his brother – JACOB;<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
King SAUL of losing his throne towards harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE who touched the ARK to help carry it against divine process;<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14.<\/strong> Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7.<\/strong> And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” <\/em>Philemon 1:6.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“When a man\u2019s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” <\/em>Proverbs 16:7.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ\u2019s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” <\/em>Galatians 5:16, 24-25.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” <\/em>Romans 8:1-8.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“. . . 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” <\/em>Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST”<\/em> James 4:1-3.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
