TOO FAR FOR YOUR SAKE - Pleasing God Series 001
God can go too far for your sake. Yes, when you PLEASE Him.
"Pleasing" is difficult if you don't know. If it were not difficult, why do individuals in relationship get discontented with each other? It's because pleasing is not easily stumbled on.
In pleasing or wanting to please, you must forget about YOU and concentrate on the other. When the Bible says, "God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven"; that's a prayer that reveals the earth and its inhabitants who are described as grasshoppers before God have still not aligned to pleasing this God. In heaven (the model to pattern after however), they're not debating pleasing God. Perfect synchronization!
So, there is still daily contest of wills. God wants this; man desires the opposite. God has said in His Word, "do this"; man creates another to do for himself in his own world. Did you see conflict and spring of sorrow in many people's lives as they jostle with God?
The day God's will becomes your priority is the day that you'll start pleasing God. The day you can offer, forget, sacrifice, kill, burn, disdain, let go, sell away, eject, give off, cut off anything in order to PLEASE (win God's admiration and love) is the day GOD (who has been moved by this you're doing to satisfy Him) begin to pay you back in a fold unimaginable BY TRAVELLING TO THE UTTERMOST ENDS OF THE EARTH TO make people be at peace with you.
Proverbs 16:7, KJV
"When a man's ways PLEASE the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at PEACE with him."
GOD can die for some people. He can travel miles to see that everybody is in perfect harmony with them. It doesn't matter the stature, influence, education, background, wealth, eloquence, wisdom, throne, principality etc challenging them. Why? They're paying the ultimate sacrifice of PLEASING HIM. ...if you've been in this business of pleasing God, you'll agree it's difficult and hard to let God prevail over one's desires, cravings and ways. If one loses all these for God, should one not be rewarded? These are the things God totals together before saying, "what I'll give to you as reward for PLEASING ME is by proving to you that your enemy, even your strongest enemy would be at peace with you."
By doing ministry, being assured of His commitment and having been given the mouth of a striker, I have incurred some enemies but God sees my sincerity that I was not hunting to hurt people. I say what He wants me say and if many should get offended (like before) with that, the task is left to God to advocate my cause and appease them on my behalf.
People of God, pay the price and let God pipe you the prize.
