GOD’S APPROVAL
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you consult God when you make decisions?
He knows everything and he has all the solution
Run to the Lord for approval so you can thrive
Rely on him so you will have wisdom in your life.
God shows his approval by making our efforts successful
He will take care of all believers who stay faithful
Make sure that He comes first in all that you do
Feed on his word which only brings the truth.

There are many people who seek someone’s approval. Most of the time it is the wrong person they seek consent from. I grew up with a lack of affirmation from those who raised me. I became hungry for approval from others. It brought much trials and suffering in my life. I got trapped from being accepted by those people I work for or I am in relationship with. No wonder, I became so unhappy and devalued. I was seeking approval from the wrong persons.
The bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians 2:4 that our purpose is to please God, not people. Galatians 1:10 tells us that if we are trying to please men, then we are not servants of Christ. We are blessed with success once we seek God’s approval.

Lord, help me to be concerned with pleasing you only.

How is seeking other’s approval an easy trap to get yourself enslaved from?

BLESSINGS TO PROSPER
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whatever we do, we mustn’t forget to bring laud
We should always seek the approval of the Lord
Remember that our efforts will only succeed
If we constantly hunger for him and believe.
May the Lord our God show you his approval
May we live in obedience instead of denial
May he anoint us and make our efforts successful
May he guide us in his truth and make us fruitful.

When you plan, do you usually consult the Lord? It wasn’t until I became so deprived and deep down in a terrible mess that God brought me on my knees to depend on him. I was a very self-sufficient and independent person. In the past, It never occurred to me to consult anyone when I want to make a major decision. I always thought that I carve my own destiny. “Live in God’s will” was a statement alien to me for many decades of my life, until he called me to live a life seeking his’ instead of man’s approval. I stopped being an approval addict, instead I pursued to do everything to please the Lord.
The bible tells us that if we want to prosper, we need to consult God in everything so that our efforts will succeed.

SEEKING GOD’S APPROVAL Poem Devotional

And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. –Psalm 90:17(NLT)

A poem by ILMA
Do you find yourself fixated on pleasing someone?
Do you try to search for happiness from everyone?
Do you consult God for every little plan you make?
Do you just do things for your own sake?
May the Lord show you his approval and consent
In all you do, seek his guidance and his presence
Whenever you confer with him, he gives you insight
If you ask in faith, you will bring him joy and delight.
I was raised to be very independent and was surrounded by people who were self-reliant. Identifying and discussing problems and issues in our families were taboo. The authorities in my life made it a point that all issues are dismissed and never talked about. I grew up making my own decisions without consulting anyone and I took pride in doing so. Each time I make the right one, I pat myself on the back for it, as if it was an achievement.
The bible tells us to align all our plans, choices and decisions with God. We will be blessed and anointed if we seek God’s consent rather than other people’s viewpoint. When we seek God first, he will grant our efforts and make it successful.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to seek your counsel always.

Why is it important to get God’s approval?
