Pleasing and obeying God

"His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’" - Matthew 25:21

Sometime God puts us in charge of little things to test us. We should take advantage of the opportunity and serve God best in this time. God tests almost all the time! You might not see it everyday but God is almost always testing us. When you lose your smartphone for example, God might be testing you to see how much you REALLY love Him. Anyone can say that they love God but they need to SHOW it. When we are faithful to God's laws in times of testing God can put us in charge of many things. We make Jesus happy when we do what He says in His Word, with the Holy Spirit guiding us like I said on Friday. His Word is the path to our lives.
"The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple." - Psalm 119:130

Those who are 'simple' are those who please God and make Him happy by obey His laws and His Word in the way that HE would like them too. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian. It makes you a church-goer. Taking part in the things of God doesn't make you a Christian (although you should if you are a christian). It just makes you a Partaker in the things of God. The true thing that makes you a Christian is JESUS CHRIST. Following Him and making sure you listen to Him is what makes you a Christian. He can come into you through His Advocate, the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost will fill you with love and obedience as well as power so that you can obey, follow and listen to Jesus.

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life.

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
