TODAY’S ANDREW WOMMACK DEVOTIONAL.
TOPIC: God Or Man Pleasers
John 5:43-44, 'I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?'
Text: John 5:28-47
This is in reference to the fact that Jesus came in the power and authority of His father to point men to Father God. Jesus existed before His advent on this earth in the form of God and was equal with God. Yet, He humbled Himself and became a servant while here on earth (Phil. 2:6-8).
He did not come to promote Himself but to give His life to provide the way to the Father (Jn. 14:6). In the same way, the Holy Spirit does not exalt Himself, but points all men unto Jesus. Jesus came, meek and lowly, totally submitted unto and seeking only to please the Father.

This
is radically different from the way so called 'great men' present
themselves. The Roman Caesar of Jesus' day proclaimed that he was God
and demanded worship. Lesser leaders ruled by exalting themselves over
the people they governed; but, Jesus showed us that 'whosoever will be
great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief
among you, let him be your servant: even as the Son of man came not to
be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for
many' (Mt. 20:26-28).
If we are concerned about what people think in an attempt to gain their approval (or honor), we will never take a stand in faith for anything that might be criticized. This one thing has probably stopped as many people from receiving from God as anything else. You cannot be a 'man-pleaser' and please God at the same time. Commit your all to Him - every thought, word, and deed.

PRAISEJAMZBLOG INSIGHT
Today’s devotional challenges us to examine the true motivation behind our actions, whether we seek the approval of God or the praise of people. Living to please men often leads to compromise, fear, and inconsistency in our faith, but choosing to please God brings freedom, boldness, and alignment with His will. Jesus demonstrated a life fully submitted to the Father, showing us that true greatness comes through humility and obedience. When we focus on honoring God above all else, our lives become anchored in truth, and we are empowered to stand firm in faith regardless of opinions or opposition.
