Pastor J.T. Kalejaiye - Make God Happy
TOPIC: MAKE GOD HAPPY
TEXT: 1 KINGS 3:4-13
PREACHER: PASTOR J.T. KALEJAIYE
This is an
appeal. It is practicable and profitable.
If you make
God happy, He will surely make you happy.
God can be
happy. In other words, He can be pleased.
He can also
be angry and displeased – Psalm 7:11b, Romans 8:8. Hebrews 11:6
Hebrews 13:6
tells us that anytime we do good, we make God happy. Both earthly and eternal
rewards await those that make God happy.
-
Solomon’s offering made God happy; it was an
uncommon offering. After the sacrifice, God appeared to Solomon and gave him a
blank cheque.
-
Another reason for God’s happiness towards
Solomon was his humility. He humbled himself before God by telling his true
identity, claiming to be a little child – 1 Kings 3:7. This, in turn made God
happy. Like Solomon, in Luke 5:8. Peter humbled himself before Jesus. Further
examples are in Matthew 15:22-28, Matthew 8:8a. Their humilities
pleased God and He granted their desires.
-
Solomon showed gratitude to God which also made
God happy. An attitude of gratitude will always take one to a higher altitude.
-
Solomon’s request for an understanding heart and
wisdom to deliver the right justice made God happy – 1 Kings 3:10 pleased God
and his requests were granted – 1 Kings 3:12&13.
Therefore,
making God happy guarantees happiness, answers to requests and exceeding of
expectations. Solomon’s quality/uncommon offering/sacrifice made God happy,
little wonder he richly blessed with uncommon riches.
