Let Your Life be Pleasing To Your Creator
Some scientists made us believe that we as human were formed in the nature of Ape or should I say science were taught in schools while we were empty and full of sins that we as humans were created jn the nature of Animal but when we finally had the knowledge of God, we realized or we came to understand that we were created by someone, it sure means, we have Creator and as such, our Creator expect something from us.
ROMANS 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

It is more like saying , we have our parents and our parents expects so much from us like, go to school, come out with good grades and find a good paying tht will be used to take care of ourselves and take care of them as well when they are old and unable to take care of themselves or do anything for themselves.
If this is what our earthly father expects from each and every one of us, don't we also think that our Heavenly Father who created us all, also expects something from us as He sent us down or created us for a reason.
Although each and every one of us has different purpose of our existence even though they are one but one outstanding reason which is compulsory for all is to live a life that is pleasing to our Creator which is living a Holy and Righteousness life. A life that gives glory to our Creator.
This life cannot be lived except and only we have a closer relationship with our Creator, no child who does not have a cordial relationship with his or her father can come to the father boldly. So, we can only live a life tht is pleasing to our Creator when we have a cordial relationship with Him.
JOHN 15:1-8
I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
I remember when I was young in my Secondary School days while my dad was alive, because of the cordial relationship I and my father had, I always aim to get a good grade in School to make him happy and proud of me.
Our life is supposed to live not to please any human around us but to please the one who created us.
We should be ver careful of not living our life to please anybody but our Creator and that means everyday, and constantly asking God to help and teach us on how to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
Happy Sunday Family!
