WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE WANT TO PLEASE GOD

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE WANT TO PLEASE GOD?

To please God, we have to do just what God wants.

This could be easy or difficult depending on where you stand.

If you are on the Lord's side, He is already pleased with you so you do not really need any additional effort to do so.

Just as He that is down needs fear no fall,
and He that is low no pride;
and
He that is humble ever shall have God to be his guide

and

have God on his side.

If you are not on the Lord's side, then
how can you please Him? You have it all to do.

When you are on the Lord's side, it is easy to allign your desires with His.

It is easy to use His resources to do His will.

It is easy to do what He says because your desires are the same as His.

You have a lot in common and you have the same objective in view.

Since this is the case, How can one be on the Lord's side?

This is made possible when you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work at Calvary on the cross where He died so that we may live;
and
 rose again to give us  life everlasting.

When we believe we get Power  from Him to become Children of God.

Children of God have what it takes to please God. (HIM)

Let us believe sincerely and be sincere in our believe. Thank you and God bless you.







John Chapter 15



1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

John Chapter 15: The Vine and the Branches
The Vine and the Branches
John Chapter 15 : 5
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
