“Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more” (1 Thessalonians 4:1).

Walking to please God should be the utmost desire of everyone. This is not always so as many people are living to please ‘self’. Pleasing self will lead to a regrettable end while living for God leads to joy and everlasting blessing. This was the testimony of Enoch. He walked with God and pleased Him. This was what qualified him to be taken up to heaven without experiencing death. There are many examples of children both in the Old and New Testament who lived to please God. These include Samuel, Joshua, Daniel, Esther, Joseph, Abel and Timothy.

Walking to please God demands that you:

(i) Surrender your life to Jesus by accepting Him as your personal Savior and Lord.

(ii) Live a holy life every day.

(iii) Become prayerful, watchful and thankful.

(iv) Daily read your Bible, think on its word and put it into practice.

(v) Run away from all bad things.

(vi) Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and spirit.

(vii) Give out of love as God gave His son.

(viii) Endure persecution for Christ’s sake.

(ix) Share the truth with others in love.

(x) And many others in revealed in Scriptures and as the Holy spirit guides us per time.

Follow the example of those who please the Lord so as to enjoy bountiful blessings. Living a life that pleases God is the most beautiful thing that can ever happen to a believer because it comes with so much assurance and confidence without fear or a guilty conscience. In fact, it is a great privilege to live a life that pleases God for it also attracts tremendous rewards.

Prayer Point:

We should thank God for the word today. Let us ask for grace to live a life that pleases Him at all times.
