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
May God judge and cut off every demon, witch, or power clinging tightly to your life, in Jesus name.
Also, it is important to note that if you master how to be filled with God’s fire at intervals during the day, no witch or demon can cling to your life or hold on to you very tightly. They cannot stand the fire, power, and presence of God.
There is a loophole they use to enter your life and sit there and remain as if they own you. That loophole is the absence and scantiness of the fire and presence of God.
The Holy Spirit told me that infilling alone, is different from both infilling and covering. You need to be filled and overflowing with the presence and fire of God. That is how your cup or spirit runs over, and God’s glory will hide you and be a wall of fire all around you to protect you.
Pray for full baptism and overflow of God’s fire and presence every day.
Yesterday’s anointing will not carry you today.
Today’s anointing will not carry you tomorrow.
God’s mercies are new every morning and every day.
May God teach you how to be victorious in spiritual warfare by making sure you are not empty and naked of the fire, glory, and presence of God. That is a non-negotiable with God. Demons and witches know this, and they exploit your ignorance. Demons believe God and tremble with fear.
Give no room to Satan, demons, witches, and the gates of hell. Do not allow the gates of hell to prevail against you.
May God fill you and cover you with His life-giving presence and fire, in Jesus name, amen.
Stop chasing people and start pursuing God’s perfect will.
Keep your focus on God and let Him handle the destiny spouse manifestation.
When God wants two people to marry each other, the Holy Spirit will confirm it in ways that cannot be denied.
But realise that humans have free will. Your destiny spouse can choose not to be with you the same way that someone who is called to be an Evangelist can go outside God’s will and be a pilot.
It is what it is.
The only thing you need to do is to pray to be in God’s perfect will, but never be obsessive about someone that God revealed as your destiny spouse.
Never idolise anyone. Let God be God and let people choose. God does not force choice. But a prayer focused on God’s perfect will can attract your destiny spouse because your focus is on God, not man.
May God teach you how to make Christ your first love and love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, spirit, and will, in Jesus name, amen.
Value your emotional health and do not encourage people to silently snuff out your life with mistreatment and abuse. Love yourself.
That is a commandment from God. Cherish the life that God gave to you and be a good custodian of that life.May God bless you with true godly love, and plant godly relationships into your life, in Jesus name.
Stop abandoning yourself to keep someone else in your life. That is self hate and self betrayal.
Love your neighbour as yourself but don’t hate yourself and don’t swallow emotional poison because you are desperate to keep someone in your life.
People rarely walk away from what they truly value.
People fight to keep what benefits them.
People make time for what matters to them.
That is why you must stop ignoring actions and start paying attention to patterns.
Words can be manipulated.
Actions reveal priorities.
Never sell yourself low just to be with someone.
Never abandon your dignity to keep a relationship alive.
Never lower your standards because you are afraid of being alone.
A relationship should add value to your life, not strip away your self-respect.
If someone constantly disrespects you, belittles you, ignores you, humiliates you, abuses you, or refuses to value you, stop making excuses for behavior that should not be tolerated.
Self-respect creates boundaries.
Self-value changes behavior.
When you truly value yourself, certain things become unacceptable.
You may feel hurt.
You may feel disappointed.
You may feel emotional attachment.
But healthy self-respect refuses to normalize mistreatment.
One of the greatest mistakes people make is remaining in places where they are constantly dishonored.
People often learn how to treat you by what you repeatedly tolerate.
If you tolerate disrespect, many will continue to disrespect you.
If you tolerate neglect, many will continue to neglect you.
If you tolerate humiliation, many will continue to humiliate you.
Your silence can sometimes become permission.
Know your value.
Know your worth.
Know what you bring to the table.
Stop chasing people who are comfortable losing you.
Stop begging for love, attention, commitment, and respect.
The right people will not need to be forced to value you.
The right people will appreciate your presence.
The right people will respect your boundaries.
The right people will recognize your value.
Do not sacrifice your dignity to keep someone who is determined to treat you like an option.
Some doors should be closed.
Some tables should be left.
Some relationships should be released.
Not because you hate people.
Not because you are proud.
But because you finally understand your value.
Value yourself enough to walk away from places that continually dishonor your worth.
May God perfect all that concerns your relationships and love life and bless you with true godly love from His throne of grace.
May God heal every trauma bond and soul tie chaining you to people that are committed to hurting you and breaking your heart, in Jesus name, amen.
