(09-11-1008, 25-04-2010,02-05-2010)

Matthew 3:17 God is pleased with children who obey him. God loves you as His child, but is He pleased with you?

Job 1:8 God was proud of Job. Can he be proud of you?


John 8:29 Jesus always wanted to please the Father

John 4:31-34 My food is to do the will of my father and to finish his work.


Psalms 119:9 If you want to please the Father, live according to His word.

John 6:63 The words of Christ are spirit and they are life; the flesh profits nothing. DO NOT PLEASE THE FLESH AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR SPIRIT.


Hebrews 11:6 It is impossible to please God without faith; he who comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Faith gives God an opportunity to intervene on our behalf, but fear and worry give Satan an opportunity to torment us.


2Chronicles 16:7-9 Rely on God and not on people. God's eyes are moving to and fro throughout the whole earth, he is looking for those whose hearts are perfect toward him so that he can show himself strong on their behalf.


2Timothy 2:1-5, 15-16,20-26

You are a soldier in God's army. Always do your best to please your commander in chief, the Lord Jesus Christ. Always obey the instructions of the Lord.

Be skilful in the word. Live by the Word.

Avoid godless talk. Avoid foolish and stupid arguments.


In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also vessels of wood and clay. There are vessels of honour and those of dishonour. If you cleanse yourself you can be a vessel of honour, sanctified and worthy for the Master's use.


Luke 12:22-32 It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Do not worry. Your father knows your needs and he cares for you. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Treasure the word of God more than everything else.


Matthew 25:19-21 The Master will come back and each one of us will give account of how we lived on the earth. My desire is to hear him say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Be faithful to the assignment. Stick to the reason of your existence.
