11 ways to please JESUS

If you desire to please JESUS, then you are guided by the Holy Spirit and so you are on the right track. Consider this verse in 2 Corinthians 5:9, “ So we make it our goal to please Him,   whether we are at home in the body or away from it.” So, how can we please our loving God and Savior JESUS CHRIST? 1. Have faith in Him. First, in order to please JESUS, we need to have faith. This is written in Hebrews 11:6, “ No one can please God without faith; for whoever comes to God must have faith that God exists and rewards those who seek him. ” So, what is faith then? Hebrews 11:1 defines faith here is the verse, “ Now faith is confidence in what we hope for   and assurance about what we do not see. ” Now, what do we hope for? We hope that JESUS will come again and will take us to heaven where there is no more pain and wailing. We are assured of the fact that JESUS died for us 2,000 years ago to save us from sin. And, we believe that even if we do not see Him, He is al...

Reasons why we need to have a good, loving, and faithful relationship with JESUS first

Sometimes, we tend to wander off from the faith and focus on the material things of this earth. Material things like money and food, we seek them first. But, JESUS said in Matthew 6:33 that we should seek Him first before anything else and He will give us what we need. We need to have a "good, loving, and faithful" relationship with Him first. What I mean with good, loving, and a faithful relationship is we communicate with Him constantly, obey His commands written in the Bible; and have the fear to commit sin knowing that when we sin, He will be hurt if we hurt Him, we lose our good relationship with Him. Listed below are the reasons why we need to to have a good relationship with JESUS first. 1.) He is our Creator. Isaiah 43:7 tells us that JESUS created all things for His glory. He created us so only Him knows exactly what's best for us. That is why we need to love Him communicate with Him constantly and thank Him for creating us in this wonderful planet so th...

How to pray for business growth?

Do you own a business? Do you want it to boom and grow? Well, you're like me. My husband and I have a small online business and we want it to grow so we can help more people. So one day, I prayed to JESUS that our business will boom. And here's His reply, “A business won't grow without the right prayer and intentions.” So, He taught me some important things to pray for our business to grow. Here they are: 1. First, acknowledge that the LORD JESUS is the Creator, Owner, and Source of everything. Apart from Him, we can do nothing (Psalms 89:11). 2. Give thanks for the privilege to have an amazing life and a good business. 3. Ask for guidance on how to run the business. He is our guide and constant help (Psalms 41:6). 4. Ask for guidance and knowledge on how to treat customers. He is the Source of all knowledge and wisdom (Proverbs 2:6). 5. Promise JESUS that you will give Him 10% of your profit and do it. The LORD JESUS says this in Malach...

JESUS, our One and Only True Living GOD

Have you tried asking yourself about who GOD is and what is His name? If your answer is yes, then this article is for you. I am one of those who earnestly seek God and His kingdom. I asked who the real GOD is and fortunately, after several years of seeking, I found the answer. I joined a Christian Pentecostal church in our community in the Philippines in August of 2012. Right after I started attending church service, I underwent an assimilation process about JESUS and during that process, I accepted JESUS as my Lord and Savior. I had my water baptism in September 2013. Additionally, in 2014, I joined a public group on Facebook called JESUS CHRIST is GOD. The members of that group kept posting and confessing that JESUS is GOD. I was so interested to know JESUS more and so I messaged one of the members and asked him who is JESUS and he replied that JESUS is our One and Only True God. It can be found in 1 John 5:20 NKJV:  "And we know that the Son of God has come and ...

What is JESUS’ purpose for creating us?

At some point in our lives, we ask this question, what is JESUS’ purpose for creating me? Why am I here on earth? These questions can only be answered meaningfully if we shift our focus on JESUS and allow the truths found in the Bible to guide us as we address these important questions of life. JESUS’ main purpose for creating us is found in Isaiah 43:7 which says, “They are my own people, I created them to bring me glory.” What is glory then? The Merriam Webster dictionary defines glory as heavenly happiness. In other words, JESUS created us to make Him happy. So how can we make the LORD JESUS happy or glorify Him? Matthew 5:16 suggests, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” We can glorify CHRIST by being rooted in Him and by being good examples to others. As believers, we can glorify CHRIST first with our faith, then with our words and last our deeds. Glorifying CHRIST with our fai...
