Topic : PLEASING THE LORD IN A TIME LIKE THIS 
 
Text : Heb 11:6 

INTRODUCTION

The requirements for those that want to please the Lord at a time like this may look difficult but is very possible and easy to do . This can only be achieved by the grace and power of the Holy Spirit who helps us to seek God by Faith and to walk worthy of our calling in obedience and submission to the WILL of God.

You may not have many friends if you are determined to please God in such a time like this but honestly , the best friend to have is JESUS .Colossians 1:9-14

WHAT A LIFE THAT PLEASES GOD LOOKS LIKE 
1. Bears Fruit , Matt 7:15-17 
2. Grows in knowledge 
3. Being Strengthened 
4. Giving Thanks 
5. Knows God 

A. Bearing Fruit : our heart and lives goes together so if your outward life does not correlate with your salvation that you confess to have , we can conclude that there is no change in your soul. 
John 15:4 ” Remain in me ……….and I will remain in you . You can’t go outside the world to bear fruit in Christ to abide in Him will bring out the fruit naturally . 

B. Growing in Knowledge : In order to please God in this end time, you need to grow more in the knowledge of God so that you will not be deceived by strange doctrines. On the negative these days, people seek God because of what they want God and we end up using God . When a child goes to the parents only when he or she needs something , the parent may not feel loved and that is how many of us treat God . God needs people to fellowship and serve Him without any ulterior motive . 

C. Being Strengthened ( HANG IN THERE ) : You must desist from complain , grumbling and murmuring . Complainers lack the face of Faith . Praising and gratitude attitude is healthier as children of God. When you are encouraged and strengthened even in the face of adversity , it separates the men from the boys . 

D. Giving Thanks : The life that pleases God is the life lived gratefully . Gratitude begins when we realize we do not deserve what we have . Gratitude begins when we learn to open our eyes to blessings we take for granted . Gratitude begins when we see how wonderful our savior is to us . 

E. Knowing God : The book of Daniel 11: 32 says ” Those that know their God will be strong and they will do exploit but on the negative , those that does not know their God will be weak and they will be defeated . I pray that we will not be defeated in Jesus name . 
God is not obligated to work through thousands of people but through a few that are ready to go all the way for Him . 

CONCLUSION
God is still seeking for bold, brave and uncompromising servants to use in this end time. God is still looking for wise and discerning Isaccahs of our days . God is still looking for people that will possess the special insight to Gods agenda in His word . 
Brethren , we must understand the shortness of the time where gross darkness is covering the earth and God is depending on us to shine as the light and win several souls for God . 

God bless you as you yield to this awakening calling at such a time as this . 

Shalom !!!
