```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: HOW TO LIVE (FOLLOW PAUL INDEED)*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

1 Thess 4:1 NIV  Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more.

There is a way to live in order to please the Lord. In fact, scripture tells us that we have to walk, work and live in a way that will please the Lord and yet there are preachers who are saying a mam cannot please God. Are you telling me, God saved me in order to please self or in order to live the way that I please.

If there is a way to live to please God, it therefore means there is a way you will live and God will not be pleased with you.

Brethren, this is Paul's teaching, anybody who tells you because you're now saved then you can begin to live the way you like, such a person is only pushing you to hell and you have also accepted to be pushed and end in destruction.

You are to live your life to please God and not to please self. You're called to holiness and not uncleanliness (1Thess 4:7) This is how to live.

Holiness and righteousness is not a standard of any mortal man, don't be deceived by false teachings who uses the name of Paul to confuse you. Paul himself mortified the deads of the flesh, how can you follow such a man and not do that which he did because paul himself said, follow me even as I follow Christ.

Many nowadays have trashed the word of Jesus "carry your cross and follow me". Paul himself carried it because he followed Jesus, if you truly claim to be following Paul, you also will have to carry your cross.
People speak against tithing but my question is "how much can you give to the God who saved your soul from destruction and eternal damnation?"

*Insights For Today: You can't live anyhow and not end in destruction. You were not saved to live the way you want but the way God wants.*

*Prayer: Father, grant me the grace to please you in everything I do in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

TODAY'S INSTRUCTION: Pray in tongues for 30mins.
DAILY BIBLE READING PLAN: Isaiah 34; 2 Thessa 2 and Psalms 52
