Still a People Pleaser? Stop That Mess Now!
We cannot be a people pleaser and servant of Christ. The Lord requires all of us, spirit, soul and body. How can we properly serve or be a good servant of the Lord while being totally comfortable and influenced by the world with its ways. Unless we are earnestly seeking the Lord daily, how can you be of acceptable service to God, you’ll have too much worldly influence on you. God needs servants that can be in the world but not of it (John 17:14). So seeking the approval of any man or woman not of the same faith you are, will keep you bound from God’s grace and favor. This world doesn’t know God nor wants to according to the news media or the Internet always giving us news that rips our faith to pieces with unbelief. The true sons of God are those who are led by their spirits, and not by their emotions, fleshly thoughts, or inordinate desires (Romans 8:14). Pleasing people to the point of your self inflicted abuse, will keep you so in bondage as a mere man or woman, that God won’t recognize you as one of His. A dangerous place to be when you behave so much like the world that people can’t tell you from a true honorable Christian bold in their faith for God. Think about it, And let that sink in.
