Where is you focus?

My mother taught me one of the greatest lessons I ever learned and use daily. She taught me to observe people. I try to learn the secret of success in influential people's lives. I want to look at some in the Bible.

Enoch pleased God
"Enoch walked with God... for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God " Gen. 5:22, Heb 11:5. It had to be a delight to God to walk with Enoch. Remember who also "pleased" God? "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased" Matt. 3:17. And He Himself said, "I always do the things that are pleasing to Him," John 8:29. Why was God pleased with Jesus? He ALWAYS did those thing that He knew pleased His Father.

We must please God
Oh dear people, you and I must have a passion to "please" God. This has captivated me the past couple of months. The potential and possibilities of "pleasing God" overwhelms me. What we watch on TV, in movies, in magazines and papers makes a world of difference here on earth and in heaven . WOW, catch this, "When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him" Prov. 16:7.

I try to please my wife
I have said hundreds of times, "I have no greater joy than to put a smile on my dear wife's face." I want to please her. How much greater joy, to put a smile on God's dear face. What a testimony to have, "he pleased God."

Prayer:  Father, may each of us be consumed with the desire to please You, In Jesus name

You are loved by God and me, all because of Calvary, sumner

Heaven

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth...and I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold the tabernacle of God is among men...and He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will no longer be any death, there will no longer be any more pain for the first things are passed away...and I saw no temple in it for the Lord God almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it and its lamp is the Lamb."

An invitation, COME
"The Spirit and the bride say, "Come " And let the one who hears say, "Come " And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost."

Don't add to God's book
"I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him)the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book."

I come quickly
"He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly " Amen Come, Lord Jesus." From Rev. 21 & 22.

Jesus must have preeminence
Dear people, heaven is where God is. The streets of Gold and gates of pearl wont be the show pieces up there, Jesus will. God said "that He Himself will come to have first place in everything" Col 1:18. If we will give Him preeminence down here we will have a little taste heaven here on earth.

Are you sure?
Did the Lord Jesus suffer and die for all of your sins, pay your debt in full and rise again to be your savior? Are you trusting Him and His finished work to get you to heaven? Have you personally prayed to receive Him and called on Him to be Your savior? If not please pray right now and say, Lord Jesus, I know I have sinned and deserve to be punished. I believe You suffered and died for my sins, paid my debt in full and rose again. I trust and receive You to be my personal savior right now. in Jesus name I pray. Please write and tell me about it.

Prayer:  Father, bless the ones who receive you through these messages and help us all to give the Lord Jesus preeminence in our lives daily. In Jesus name. ABC, sumner
