The day you realize that the "Praise from men" is totally different from the "Praise from God".
That day, you will finally see that most times, the PRAISES of men and a larger percentage of society, is always and often opposite of the PRAISES of God.
That day, you will instantly and completely be freed from the need to please all or most men.
The common temptation to please people, including or especially yourself, at the expense of Divine Approval, at any cost, will lose all appeal to you, once and for all.
In life and destiny, in ministry and service, our main audience is one.
The one to please, whose approval and otherwise matters, is still one.
Pleasing the father by all means, in every way, is the true Hallmark of anyone, who wears or desires to wear the honour of the name "Son of God".
Remember, the temptations of Jesus is all about querying if he was truly a "Son of God" (Luke 4:1-13)
SONSHIP is all about extreme focus on the disposition of the Father, against all odds.
A child is born into the kingdom, but only a son can be given the kingdom.
Only true sons can wield the authority of representation and demonstrations bestowed by our heavenly father.
You must be born again, and by all means, you must become a SON. Nothing else really matters.
Your Audience Is Forever ONE! Focus on him alone!!! Reject Distraction. Be still and hear his voice loud and clear!!!
Let The Joy of Your Heavenly Father be the only JOY set before you, to endure the cross of true discipleship, and despise the shame of being labeled a fool for Christ.
Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
John 3:35; The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
We receive Grace to grow into Him in all things, and count everything else on earth as dung, for the excellency of winning Christ. Amen.
-Apostle Godfrey Emuze, of Bridechamber Church.
