Day 42: The People-Pleaser Trap ✨

Proverbs 29:25
"It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe."

Galatians 1:10
"I'm not trying to be a people pleaser! No, I am trying to please God. If I were still trying to please people, I would not be Christ's servant."

Whose approval are you living for?

Because God wired us for relationships, each of us carries a desire to be loved, to be valued, and to be appreciated. We long to feel accepted and approved by others. This longing for belonging, the desire to "fit in" and feel connected to others, is the driving force behind many of the choices we make. In both small choices, like the clothes we wear or the style of our hair, and in major decisions such as where we live and work, what other people think has a greater influence on us than we are aware of.

The Bible warns us not to let the fear of disapproval keep us from doing what we know God wants us to do.

The Dangers of People-Pleasing

Let me share five harmful effects of letting other people’s approval or disapproval determine what you do with your life.

1) People-pleasing will cause me to miss God’s will for my life.

2) People-pleasing prevents my faith from growing.

3) People-pleasing leads me to other sins.

4) People-pleasing causes hypocrisy.

5) People-pleasing silences my life message.

How to Break Free from the People-Pleaser Trap?

What is the cure for approval addiction? How do we break out of the people-pleaser prison? Well, since this prison is mental, not physical, the solution is to change the way we think. The Bible word for this mental shift is repentance. We break free from the pressure to conform by having our thoughts transformed by God: "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." So what does God use to transform our minds? The answer is truth! Cultural lies conform us, but eternal truths transform us.

Jesus famously said, "The truth will set you free. " Here are six truths to remember the next time you are tempted to give in to peer pressure:

1) Remember that even God can’t please everyone.

What does God use to transform our minds? The answer is truth.

Remember that I don't need anyone's approval to be happy. Happiness is a choice. You are as happy as you choose to be. What other people think of you cannot rob your happiness unless you allow them to rob it. It is a fact of life that on our broken planet filled with broken people, there will always be those who will demean how you look, dislike what you do, disapprove of what you believe, dispute what you say, and disrespect who you are. But they cannot control your emotions unless you let them. Disapproval doesn't have to devastate you.

2) Remember that what seems so important now is only temporary.

“The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; but those who do the will of God live forever.”

3) Remember that I only have to please one person.

If what I do pleases God, I can stop worrting about everyone else’s reactions.

4) Remember that one day I will give an account of my life to God.

5) Remember that God shaped me to be me, not somebody else.

1 Corinthians 2:9
“No mere man has ever seen, heard, or even imagined what wonderful things God has ready for those who love the Lord.”

Day 41: The Envy Trap ✨

Proverbs 14:30
“A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”

Ecclesiastes 4:4
“I observed all the work and ambition motivated by envy. What a waste!”

You cannot fulfill God’s purposes for your life if you envy the lives of others.

While God created each of us for the same five eternal purposes, the way you fulfill those purposes - the time, place, plan, and style - is absolutely unique. God never creates clones, never copies what He's already made, and never duplicates a life plan. God only creates original masterpieces.

Only you can be you. Only you can live the life God designed you to live. But it's also true that you cannot live a life that God designed for someone else. To attempt to be what you weren't created to be always leads to frustration, fatigue, and failure.

Envy is such a destructive attitude that God outlawed it in the Ten Commandments. The last commandment says, "You shall not covet!”
Coveting is another word for envy. God absolutely prohibits us from envying what others have, how they look, what they accomplish, and who they are because he knows the damage envy does.

Four Hamful Effects of Envy;

1) Envy denies your uniqueness.

2) Envy divides your attention.

3) Envy misuses your time and energy.

4) Envy leads you to other sins.

Envy infects everything inside you and affects everything around you.

Steps to Eradicating Envy:

1) Stop comparing yourself to others.

2) Celebrated God’s goodness to others.

If you would like to increase the amount of happiness you experience in life, here is one of the secrets: learn to enjoy the successes and joys of others. If you are only happy when good things happen to you, then you will be unhappy for much of your life, since no one experiences only good things. But if you learn to enjoy other people's victories too, you will always have something to be happy about.

3) Be grateful for who you are and whatever you have.

If you don’t know how to be happy with what you have, you will never be happy with more.

4) Trust God when life seems unfair.

Anytime we accuse God of unfairness, we are actually doubting His goodness. Envy is the fever, the symptom, but doubting God is the disease.

The next time you start to rant about God's unfairness to you, remind yourself of these facts:

1. Everything I have is an undeserved gift from God. I wouldn't even exist if it weren't for God's grace. The next breath of air I take is a gift of God.

2. I don't know what God knows and I can't see what God sees, so I should trust Him.

3. Life on earth is unfair because of sin, not because of God. Our rebellion against God has broken everything on the planet.
This isn't heaven, where everything works perfectly. Nothing works perfectly here.

4. God sent Jesus to save us from the judgement day when He will balance the books, right all wrongs, and administer justice.

5. It was not fair for Jesus to die in my place for my sins. But He did.

Day 40: Living with Purpose ✨

Proverbs 19:21
“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

Living on purpose is the only way to really live. Everything else is just existing.

What Is a Life Purpose Statement?

It’s a statement that summarizes God’s purposes for your life.

It’s a statement that points the direction if your life.

It’s a statement that defines “success” for you.

It’s a statement that clarifies your roles.

It’s a statement that expresses your shape.

Life’s Five Greatest Questions

1) What will be the center of my life?

When God is at the center if your life, you worship. When He’s not, you worry.

2) What will be the character of my life?

3) What will be the contribution of my life?

4) What will be the communication of my life?

5) What will be the community of my life?

Before most unbelievers accept the Bible as credible they want to know that we are credible.

God Wants To Use You

“The future is as bright as the promises of God.”

When fulfilling your purposes seems tough, don’t give in to discouragement. Remember your reward, which will last forever.

Day 39: Balancing Your Life ✨

Ephesians 5:15
“Live life with a due sense of responsibility, not as those who do not know the meaning of life but as those who do.

2 Peter 3:17
“Don’t let the errors of evil people lead you down the wrong path and make you lose your balance.”

Blessed are the balanced; they shall outlast everyone.

God’s five purposes for your life:

1) “Love God with all your heart”: You were planned for God’s pleasure, so your purpose is to love God through worship.

2. "Love your neighbor as yourself": You were shaped for serving, so your purpose is to show love for others through ministry.

3. "Go and make disciples": You were made for a mission, so your purpose is to share God's message through evangelism.

4. "baptize them into ..? You were formed for God's family, so your purpose is to identify with his church through fellowship.

5. "teach them to do all things ...": You were created to become like Christ, so your purpose is to grow to maturity through discipleship.

A great commitment to the Great Commandment and Great Commission will make you a great Christian.

These are four important activities for purpose-driven living:

1) Talk it through with a spiritual partner or small group.

2) Give yourself a regular spiritual checkup.

3) Write down your progress in a journal.

Our greatest lessons come out of pain, and the Bible says God keeps a record of our tears. Whenever problems occur, remember that God uses them to fulfill all five purposes in your life: Problems force you to focus on God, draw you closer to others in fellowship, build Christlike character, provide you with a ministry, and give you a testimony. Every problem is purpose-driven.

4) Pass on what you know to others.

You owe it to the future generations to preserve the testimony of how God helped you fulfill His purposes on earth.

Today God calls each of us to the same work. Not only does He want us to live out His purposes, He also wants us to help others do the same. God wants us to introduce people to Christ, bring them into His fellowship, help them grow to maturity and discover their place of service, and then send them out to reach others, too.
This is what purpose-driven living is all about. Regardless of your age, the rest of your life can be the best of your life, and you can start living on purpose today.

Day 38: Becoming a World-Class Christian ✨

Mark 16:15
“Jesus said to His followers, “Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone.”

Psalm 67:2
“Send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind.”

The great commission is your commission.

You have a choice to make. You will be either a world-class Christian or a worldly Christian. Worldly Christians look to God primarily for personal fulfillment. They are saved, but self-centered. They love to attend concerts and enrichment seminars, but you would never find them at a missions conference because they aren't interested. Their prayers focus on their own needs, blessings, and happiness. It's a "me-first" faith: How can God make my life more comfortable? They want to use God for their purposes instead of being used for His purposes. In contrast, world-class Christians know they were saved to serve and made for a mission. They are eager to receive a personal assignment and excited about the privilege of being used by God.
World-class Christians are the only fully alive people on the planet.

It has never been easier in history to fulfill your commission to go to the whole world.

How to Think Like a World-Class Christian

1) Shift from self-centered thinking to other centered thinking.

2) Shift from local thinking to global thinking.

People may refuse our love or reject our message, but they are defenseless against our prayers.

3) Shift from “here and now” thinking to eternal thinking.

“You can’t take it with you” — but the Bible says you can send it on ahead by investing in people who are going there!

4) Shift from thinking of excuses to thinking of creative ways to fulfill your commission.

If you want to be like Jesus, you must have a heart for the whole world. You can't be satisfied with just your family and friends coming to Christ. There are over 6 billion people on earth, and Jesus wants all his lost children found. Jesus said, "Only those who throw away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live!" The Great Commission is your commission, and doing your part is the secret to living a life of significance.

Day 37: Sharing Your Life Message ✨

1 John 5:10A
“Those who believe in the Son of God have testimony of God in them.”

1 Thessalonians 1:8
“Your lives are echoing the Master’s Word… The news of your faith in God is out. We don’t even have to say anything anymore — you’re the message!”

God has given you a life message to share.

Your life message has four parts to it:

1) Your testimony: the story of how you began a relationship with Jesus

2) Your life lessons: the most important lessons God has taught you

3) Your godly passions: the issues God shaped you to care about most

4) The Good News: the message of salvation

Shared stories build a relational bridge that Jesus can walk across from your heart to others.

While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.

God gives us different passions so that everything He wants done in the world will get done.

If you’ve been afraid to share the Good News with those around you, ask God to fill your heart with His love for them.

In this book you have learned God's five purposes for your life on earth: He made you to be a member of his family, a model of his character, a magnifier of his glory, a minister of his grace, and a messenger of his Good News to others. Of these five purposes, the fifth can only be done on earth. The other four you will keep doing in eternity in some way. That's why spreading the Good News is so important; you only have a short time to share your life message and fulfill your mission.

1 Peter 3:15B
“Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you, but do it with gentleness and respect.”

Day 36: Made For A Mission ✨

John 17:18
“In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world.”

Acts 20:24
“The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me.”

You were made for a mission.

God is at work in the world, and He wants you to join Him. This assignment is called your mission. God wants you to have both a ministry in the body of Christ and a mission in the world. Your ministry is your service to believers and your mission is your service to unbelievers.

The Importance of Your Mission

Fulfilling your life mission on earth is an essential part of living for God's glory. The Bible gives several reasons why your mission is so important:

1) Your mission is a continuation of Jesus' mission on earth.

Jesus calls us not only to come to Him, but to go for Him.

2) Your mission is a wonderful privilege.

3) Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.

4) Your mission has eternal significance.

The Great Commission was given to every follower of Jesus.

5) Your mission gives your life meaning.

6) God’s timetable for history’s conclusion is connected to the completion of our commission.

When the disciples wanted to talk about prophecy, Jesus quickly switched the conversation to evangelism. He wanted them to concentrate on their mission in the world. He said in essence, "The details of my return are none of your business. What is your business is the mission I've given you. Focus on that!"
Speculating on the exact timing of Christ's return is futile, because Jesus said, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Since Jesus said He didn't know the day or hour, why should you try to figure it out?
What we do know for sure is this: Jesus will not return until everyone God wants to hear the Good News has heard it.

It is easy to get distracted, because Satan would rather have you do anything besides sharing your faith.

What It Costs To FulFill Your Mission

To fulfill your mission will require that you abandon your agenda and accept God's agenda for your life. You can't just "tack it on" to all the other things you'd like to do with your life. You must say, like Jesus, "Father,.. I want your will, not mine.” You yield your rights, expectations, dreams, plans, and ambitions to him. You stop praying selfish prayers like "God bless what I want to do." Instead you pray,
"God help me to do what you're blessing!" You hand God a blank sheet with your name signed at the bottom and tell Him to fill in the details.

Matthew 28:19
"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Day 35: God’s Power In Your Weakness ✨

2 Corinthians 13:4
“We are weak… yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you.”

2 Corinthians 12:9A
“I am with you; that is all you need. My power shows up best in weak people.”

God loves to use weak people.

If God only used perfect people, nothing would ever get done.

God will use us if we allow Him to work through our weaknesses. For that to happen you must:

1) Admit your weaknesses.

2) Be content with your weaknesses.

Your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.

3) Honestly share your weaknesses.

4) Glory in your weaknesses.

God works best when I admit my weakness.

Day 34: Thinking Like A Servant ✨

Numbers 14:24
“My servant Caleb thinks differently and follows me completely.”

Philippians 2:5
“Think of yourseleves the way Christ Jesus thought of Himself.”

Service starts in your mind.

God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do.

Real servants serve God with a mind-set of five attitudes:

1) Servants think more about others than about themselves

Real servants don’t try to use God for their purposes. They let God use them for His purposes.

2) Servants think like stewards, not owners.

Servanthood and stewardship go together, since God expects us to be trustworthy in both.

“If you have not been trustworthy in handling wordly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?”

How you manage your money affects how much God can bless your life.

3) Servants think about their work, not what others are doing.

Real servants don’t complain of unfairness. They just trust God and keep serving.

Your service for Christ is never wasted regardless of what others say.

4) Servants base their identity in Christ.

The closer you get to Jesus, the less you need to promotire yourself.

5) Servants think of ministry as an opportunity, not an obligation.

“Serve the Lord with gladness.”

Why do they serve with gladness? Because they love the Lord, they’re grateful for His grace, they know serving is the highest use of life, and they know God has a promised.”

To be a servant I must think like a servant.

Day 33: How Real Servants Act ✨

Mark 10:43
“Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.”

Matthew 7:16
“You can tell what they are by what they do.”

We serve God by serving others.

Your shape reveals your ministry, but your servant’s heart will reveal your maturity.

How can you know if you have the heart of a servant?

1) Real servants make themselves available to serve.

2) Real servants pay attention to needs.

3) Real servants do their best with what they have.

4) Real servants to every task with equal dedication.

Great opportunities often disguise themselves in small tasks.

5) Real servants are faithful to their ministry.

6) Real servants maintain a low profile.

Matthew 10:42
“If tou give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.”

Day 32: Using What God Gave You ✨

Romans 12:5
“Since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ’s body, let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be.”

Danish Proverb
“What you are is God’s gift to you; what you do with yourself is your gift to God.”

God deserves your best.

DISCOVER YOUR SHAPE

1) Begin by assessing your gifts and abilities.

You will never know what you’re good at until you try.

2) Consider your heart and your personality.

3) Examine your experiences and extract the lessons you have learned.

ACCEPT AND ENJOY YOUR SHAPE

God wants you to enjoy using the shape He has given you.

The Bible warns us never to compare ourselves with others: "Do your own work well, and then you will have something to be proud of. But don't compare yourself with others.” There are two reasons why
you should never compare your shape, ministry, or the results of your ministry with anyone else. First, you will always be able to find someone who seems to be doing a better job than you and you will become discouraged. Or you will always be able to find someone who doesn't seem as effective as you and you will get full of pride.

KEEP DEVELOPING YOUR SHAPE

“Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of.”

We’re getting ready for eternal responsibilities and rewards.

2 Timothy 2:15
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”

Day 31: Understanding Your Shape ✨

Psalm 139:13
“You shaped me first inside then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb.”

Only you can be you.

SHAPE: Applying Your Abilities

1) All of your abilities come from God.

2) Every ability can be used for God’s glory.

3) What I’m able to do, God wants me to do.

SHAPE: Employing Your Experiences

For God to use your painful experiences, you must be willing to share them.

1 Peter 4:10
“God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings.”

Day 30: Shaped For Serving God ✨

Job 10:8
“Your hands shaped me and made me.”

Isaiah 43:21
“The people I have shaped for myself will broadcast my praises.”

You were shaped to serve God.

The Bible says, "We are Gods workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works." Our English word poem comes from the Greek word translated "workmanship." You are God's handcrafted
work of art. You are not an assembly-line product, mass produced without thought. You are a custom-designed, one-of-a-kind, original masterpiece.

God never wastes anything.

The Bible says you are “wonderfully complex.”

How God Shapes You for Your Ministry:

Whenever God gives us an assignment, He always equips us with what we need to accomplish it. This custom combination of capabilities is called your SHAPE:

Spiritual gifts
Heart
Abilities
Personality
Experience

SHAPE: Unwrapping Your Spiritual Gifts

“A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.”

An unopened gift is worthless

“There are different kinda of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving.”

SHAPE: Listening to Your Heart

The Bible uses the term heart to describe the bundle of desires, hopes, interests, ambitions, dreams, and affections you have. Your heart represents the source of all your motivations - what you love to do and what you care about most. Even today we still use the word in this way when we say, "I love you with all my heart."
The Bible says, "As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the person."I Your heart reveals the real you - what you truly are, not what others think you are or what circumstances force you to be. Your heart determines why you say the things you do, why you feel the way you do, and why you act the way you do.

“Serve the Lord with all your heart.”

How do you know when you are serving God from your heart?
The first telltale sign is enthusiasm. When you are doing what you love to do, no one has to motivate you or challenge you or check up on you. You do it for the sheer enjoyment. You don't need rewards or applause or payment, because you love serving in this way. The opposite is also true: When you don't have a heart for what you're doing, you are easily discouraged.
The second characteristic of serving God from your heart is effectiveness. Whenever you do what God wired you to love to do, you get good at it. Passion drives perfection. If you don't care about a task, it is unlikely that you will excel at it. In contrast, the highest achievers in any field are those who do it because of passion, not duty or profit.

When you are doing what you love to do, no one has to motivate you.

We have all heard people say, "I took a
When you are doing what you love to do,
no one has to motivate you.
job I hate in order to make a lot of money, so someday I can quit and do what I love to do." That's a big mistake.
Don't waste your life in a job that doesn't express your heart.
Remember, the greatest things in life are not things. Meaning is far more important than money. The richest man in the world once said,
"A simple life in the fear-of-God is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.”
Don't settle for just achieving "the good life," because the good life is not good enough. Ultimately it doesn't satisfy. You can have a lot to live on and still have nothing to live for. Aim instead for "the better life" -serving God in a way that expresses your heart. Figure out what you love to do - what God gave you a heart to do -and then do it for His glory.

Day 29: Accepting Your Assignment ✨

Ephesians 2:10
“It is God himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago He planned that we should spend these lives in helping others.”

John 17:4
“I glorified you on earth by completing down to the last detail what you assigned me to do.”

You were put on earth to make a contribution.

1) You were created to serve God.

2) You were save to serve God.

If I have no love for others, no desire to serve others, I should question whether Christ is really in my life.

3) You are called to serve God.

4) You are commanded to serve God.

Spiritual maturity is never an end in itself. We group up in order to give out.

Preparing for Eternity

At the end of your life on earth you will stand before God, and He is going to evaluate how well you served others with your life. The Bible says, "Each of us will have to give a personal account to God.”
Think about the implications of that. One day God will compare how much time and energy we spent on ourselves compared with what we invested in serving others.
At that point, all our excuses for self-centeredness will sound hollow: "I was too busy" or "I had my own goals" or "I was preoccupied with working, having fun, or preparing for retirement." To all excuses God will respond, "Sorry, wrong answer. I created, saved, and called you and commanded you to live a life of service.

Service and Significance

Service is the pathway to real significance.

What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived.

Day 28: It Takes Time ✨

Ecclesiastes 3:1
“Everything on earth has its own time and its own season”.

Philippians 1:6
“I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in His grace until His task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns.”

There are no shortcuts to maturity.

While we worry about how fast we grow, God is concerned about how strong we grow. God views our lives from and for eternity, so He is never in a hurry.

Why Does It Take So Long?

Although God could instantly transform us, He has chosen to develop us slowly.

Why does it take so long to change and grow up? There are several reasons

1) We are slow learners.

2) We have a lot to unlearn.

3) We are afraid to humbly face the truth about ourselves

4) Growth is painful and scary.

There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss, and no loas without pain.

5) Habits take time to develop.

Don’t Get in a Hurry

As you grow to spiritual maturity, there are several ways to cooperate with God in the process.

1) Believe God is working in your life even when you don’t feel it.

2) Keep a notebook or journal of lessons learned.

3) Be patient with God and with yourself.

God is never in a hurry, but He is always on time.

4) Don’t get discouraged.

PBPGINFWMY
“Please Be Patient, God Is Not Finished With Me Yet.”

God isn’t finished with you, either, so keep on moving forward. Even the snail reached the ark by persevering!

Day 27: Defeating Temptation ✨

2 Timothy 2:22
“Run from anything that gives you the evil thoughts but stay close to anything
that makes you want to do right.”

1 Corinthians 10:13
“Remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it.”

There is always a way out.

God has promised never to allow more on you than He puts within you to handle it.

You must do your part too by practicing four Biblical keys to defeating temptation:

1) Refocus your attention on something else.

The battle for sin is won or lost in your mind. Whatever gets your attention will get you.

2) Reveal your struggle to a godly friend or support group.

The truth is, whatever you can’t talk about is already out of control in your life.

3) Resist the devil.

Don't ever try to argue with the Devil. He's better at arguing than you are, having had thousands of years to practice. You can't
bluff Satan with logic or your opinion, but you can use the weapon that makes him tremble - the truth of God.

4) Realize your vulnerability.

“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.”

We must never let down our guard and think we’re beyond temptation.
