Be A Pleaser Of God, Not Man
Pleaser of God Not Men – Get Rid of The Delilah’s In Your Life.
Hello, welcome to another message titled “Be A Pleaser Of God, Not Man.”
Get rid of the Delilahs in your life.
Galatians 1:10 says:
“For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.”
One of the enemy’s greatest deceptions is making people idolize human beings. Many people begin to attribute qualities and powers to humans that belong only to God. They fear men more than they fear God, and this becomes a dangerous trap.
Proverbs 29:25 says:
“Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.”
The three Hebrew men chose to fear God rather than man, and God proved Himself faithful by delivering them from the fiery furnace. That is what happens when you refuse to idolize people and choose obedience to God instead.
Many people constantly seek to please others even when it grieves the Holy Spirit. This is why Jesus said that He must be our first love. God wants your heart completely. When you truly love God first, He gives you the grace to love others rightly.
Love comes from God. But when love is misdirected, it becomes idolatry and leads people away from God.
Matthew 10:37 says:
“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”
Any relationship that constantly pulls you into disobedience against God is a snare. No human being should ever take the place of God in your life.
Acts 5:29 says:
“We must obey God rather than men.”
Many people desire fame, applause, and human approval. Some seek celebrity status because they want to be worshipped and admired. In that pursuit, many fall into darkness, deception, and spiritual bondage.
The Bible says in John 12:43:
“For they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.”
Some people value the approval of family members, spouses, friends, or society more than the approval of God. But every believer will eventually face moments where they must choose between pleasing people and pleasing God.
Never reject God in order to satisfy man.
As you grow spiritually, God begins to reveal hidden idols in the heart. Human idols can exist silently in the heart without you realizing it. You may think you love God most, but your actions may reveal otherwise.
Sometimes the Lord exposes these hidden idols through situations and tests.
Anything you love more than God becomes an idol.
1 Corinthians 8:4 says:
“We know that an idol stands for something that does not really exist. We know that there is only one God.”
1 John 5:21 says:
“Little children, guard yourselves from idols.”
An idol is a deception. It is assigning God’s position to something or someone else. It may be money, fame, relationships, celebrities, physical objects, or even emotional attachments.
Power belongs to God alone.
Jesus Christ is highly exalted above all things. He alone deserves worship. He alone saves. He alone delivers.
Many people are spiritually trapped because they opened doors through deception, emotional bondage, sinful relationships, lust, and unhealthy attachments.
The enemy uses fake love, emotional obsession, lust, and unhealthy soul ties to draw people away from God.
Samson allowed Delilah to become an idol in his heart. His passion for her blinded him spiritually and eventually destroyed his destiny.
Many people today also carry spiritual Delilahs in their hearts. Some are emotionally attached to people they are not married to. Some are consumed by unhealthy passion and emotional dependence.
Even without physical immorality, emotional and spiritual bonds can become dangerous strongholds.
Guard your heart carefully.
Do not allow anyone to occupy the place that belongs to God alone.
The Holy Spirit should fill your heart, not human idols.
Jesus said:
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Truth destroys deception. The Word of God exposes lies. The Holy Spirit leads believers into truth.
Choose God above every relationship, every idol, every emotion, and every worldly desire.
Let Christ become your first love.
Remove every Delilah from your life. Remove every idol from your heart. Remove every attachment that weakens your walk with God.
Choose holiness. Choose obedience. Choose truth. Choose the approval of God over the approval of men.
May the Lord give you discernment to recognize every false love and every hidden idol. May your heart become fully surrendered to Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit fill you with wisdom, holiness, and truth.
May the Lord strengthen you to walk in obedience and purity. May He decorate your life with His glory and preserve you from deception.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Remain blessed. Have a good day.

Prayer For Divine Favour, Open Doors & Victory Prayer – Laura Bon
Carry the Fire of God!
The gates of hell will not prevail against you.
This is God’s will for you.
Pray! Pray fervently with persistence and faith.
Wait upon the Lord to carry God’s fire.
Demons will flee in terror. No demon or witch can withstand the presence, glory, power, fire, or blood of God.
Pay the price to continually put on the fire of God through persistent prayer.
Revelation 3:18 says,
“I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.”
Embrace spiritual discipline. To buy is to trade your spiritual laziness and worldly distractions for the spiritual discipline of constantly waiting upon the Lord to seek His face and power.
You will seek God and find Him when you seek Him with all your heart.
God promised that you will find Him. You will experience His visitation, mercy, and fire.
He said,
Jeremiah 29:12–14 NKJV
“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity.”
God wants you to experience the fullness of life.
He wants you to carry His presence and fire in the highest degree and dimension here on earth.
He wants you to be a king and prince on earth. When you manifest as a son of God, carrying His fire and power, you will do exploits for Him. The gates of hell will not prevail against you. Rather, you will prevail against the gates of hell and be a terror to demons and the kingdom of darkness.
Demons screamed in terror and ran away from Jesus because Jesus was filled and surrounded by the presence, fire, and power of God.
Stop playing. Take your rightful place today. Carry God’s fire and power, and rule over demons and witches.
May God Himself teach your hands to fight and make war, in Jesus name, amen.

May God bless you with godly destiny relationships, in Jesus name, amen.
DO THEY LOVE YOU—OR DO THEY JUST NEED YOU?
Does someone truly love you if they are with you because they depend on you and need you?
Or do they simply love what you provide?
Those are two very different questions.
How do you know when someone truly loves you—and when you are simply needed, useful, or convenient?
The answer is deeper than most people think.
Love chooses. Dependency needs.
Love values the person. Dependency values the benefit.
Biblical love seeks the good of the other person.
Jesus loved people who could give Him nothing.
Loyalty reveals genuine love.
Mutual dependence is healthy. Codependence is not.
How do you recognize genuine love?

Develop a Deeper Passion for God’s Presence
May God fill you with a deeper passion for His presence.
May the Holy Spirit give you an unquenchable hunger for God.
May God make you a yielded vessel for His glory.
May God fill your cup until it overflows with His presence and power, in Jesus name.
The Holy Spirit wants passion. He wants love. We were created by love and for love. Your heart was created to be filled with the love of God. God’s presence and fire is His love.
God is looking for passionate believers whose greatest pursuit is His presence. God is looking for fervent, passionate lovers of God like Jesus and David.
Become a yielded vessel. Become a man or woman after God’s heart.
Nothing satisfies the human heart like the presence of God. Only the presence of God can make you truly happy and be filled with all the fruits of the Holy Spirit. You can’t live without God and His presence. You cannot be truly happy and fruitful without the presence and fire of God.
God delights in filling hungry hearts with His glory and presence. He wants hunger and passion.
May your heart continually burn with love for Jesus, and may God’s presence become your greatest delight all the days of your life. #prayers

Stop asking, “Do I love them?” Start asking, “Are they God’s perfect will for my life?”
Samson loved Delilah, but Delilah was not God’s perfect will for Samson.
Emotions can be very deceptive, and emotions can die, but a heart dedicated to God’s will sticks by you like that friend that sticks closer than a brother and that brother that is born for adversity.
Find out from the Holy Spirit if they are part of God’s plan and purpose for your life. Be purpose driven. Jesus and Paul were purpose driven.
When you become passionate about your destiny and purpose and making sure you are surrounded by your destiny partners like Jonathan, the apostles, and Joseph the husband of Mary, your relationships become very sweet. They glorify the Lord and please the Holy Spirit.
May God visit you mightily and plant your God ordained destiny relationships and spouses into your life, in Jesus name, amen.
