Galatians 1:10 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

 

In life we need to make choices and we will be judged

  • Whatever decision we make in life is judged
  • Luke 10:42 : Martha judged Mary
    • Example working in Church
      • If you listen to the word only, people can say that you are lazy
      • If you clean the Church, people can say that you do not bother  to learn more about God
  • We are judged in heaven, by family members, on the street, in church, in the workplace, by enemies, by friends etc.

What principle should we follow when we need to make choices ?

  • First of all, you need to accept that you cannot please people ! Somebody will always be unhappy with your choices.
  • The principle is that you should please God with your decision !

How do you communicate your decisions?

  • If God tells you to do something, then you need wisdom to get that message across to people
  • Try to communicate without being threatening
  • If you are a leader in church, you need to be ready to correct people, otherwise they will not grow

Our Prayer for you

  • Regardless how you are judged, embrace yourself and get to know God more
  • Your will begin to grow and you will become a better person
  • Your growth will be evident, even to your enemies
