Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew
14:6) 06 February 2024
Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are
people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to
get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other
people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.
Are you living your life for people, trying to
please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I
AM pleasing myself, and so all our
lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we
live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your
life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God
is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good
and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you
rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.
I am living to please God; I desire for God to
say about me as God said about Jesus my way shower: “This is my beloved son and
whom I am well pleased.” I desire God to
be pleased with me and I would text today Herodias, his daughter danced before King Herod at a feast and she danced before the king and
entertained his guests in such a way that he was so pleased with her that he
said what do you desire I will give you
anything up to half of my kingdom and she wasn’t clear about what she desire so
she ran to her mother and said what shall I
ask the king for, her mother said ask for the head of John the Baptist on
a platter and so she went back to Herod and
said I desire the head of John the
Baptist on a platter.
And even though Herod didn’t want to give it
to her because he had said it because the decree and the edit had gone out, he
had John the Baptist beheaded; he gave
her what she desired. Are you in a place in your life where instead of asking
God for what you desire that God is so pleased with you, God is asking you what
you desire? You remember Solomon that God asked him. God was so pleased with
Solomon that God asked Solomon what he desired, and Solomon said
I desire wisdom and knowledge and understanding to lead your people and God told Solomon because you didn’t ask
for a long life because you didn’t ask for retribution against your enemies because
you didn’t ask for riches I am going to
give you what you didn’t ask for that
God was so pleased with Solomon that God gave him the desires of his
heart and beyond.
There’s a place in consciousness, a space in life
Where God is so pleased with you that God exceeds abundantly above all that you
can ask or even think according to the power that works within you. There is a
place in consciousness where God is so pleased with you that God blesses you in
a way that takes your breath away. There is a place in consciousness where God
is so happy with you that God blows your mind and exceeds your expectations.
Who are you pleased with today? Are you pleasing God? Are you working crazy to
please people, or are you pleasing yourself? I guarantee if you please, God, if
you also delight yourself in the lord, God will give you the desires of your
heart.
If you please, God, whatever you desire, one thing
have I desired of the lord. That will I seek after that; I may dwell in the
house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the lord and
to inquire in God’s temple if you please, God, even your enemies will be at peace
with you when you please God you will see optimal health manifesting in your
life, you will see harmonious relationships manifesting in your life, you will
see overflowing wealth manifesting in your life because God is so pleased with you. It is not just meeting
your needs; God will supersede them and give you your desires.
