Some Things That Please God

By Surujnauth Surujpaul

To anyone who is seeking a deeper relationship with God, this book is a must-read.

Some Things That Please God is a compilation of scriptures and comments on different ways to please God.

For example, God is always pleased with faithhaving confidence in God. Today we find people who cannot believe God for spiritual strength to fight Satan. As a result, their lives are far from pleasing God. We must believe God for the fulfillment of his wonderful promises in our lives, and then we will see his abundant blessings.

God is pleased with worship and praise. When we give him praise in humble and sincere worship, he opens the windows of heaven and showers us with all his blessings.

Believers who come together in sweet fellowship can be assured that God is in their midst. He delights in the unity of the Body of Christ and visits them with his sweet presence. Discord and confusion turn his favor against us, so let us strive to be together in one spirit when we worship.

Giving pleases God. He looks down from heaven on the generous givers and rewards them with his bountiful blessings. We cannot deny that his blessings are shared with all those who give cheerfully and from a pure heart.

God is a holy God and, as such, demands holy living from his followers. Contrast holy living with the fruits of the fleshhatred, envy, jealousy, covetousness, adultery, fornication. His favor is against those who live after the flesh. But his grace is extended to those who live holy.

Let us strive to do the things that please God and, as such, receive the favor of God.

Dedication

May this work be a blessing to your soul as it has been to mine.

Introduction

Many people have their own ideas of how to please God. However, we cannot think that our ways are God’s ways; neither can we guess what pleases God. We must have a definite source of reference that will show us how to gain God’s favor.

See Isaiah 55:8 for reference.

We must understand that they are more than three billion people on this planet and everyone has his or her own opinion of how they can please God.

For example, the Hindus have millions of gods and they try to appease every one of them. Some of them throw their babies in the Ganges river hoping that they will have God’s favor; and they do not kill the diseased infected rats that live among them, believing that each one of them is a god. They donate offerings to many images, hoping that they will appease them and gain their favor.

One of their prophets rolled for one thousand miles to a holy site in India hoping that his humble act will be accepted by God. Another gives his body to be burned hoping that God will be pleased. Some feed the poor and give all they have to the church. Is God pleased with these sacrifices?

In Africa some cut themselves, until the blood flow freely from their bodies, hoping that God will
