Surrender!

Luke 22: 42

“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

Each of us when we were born, were given a portion of self awareness.

Every day we now have a choice of serving God, or serving ourselves. It’s called free will.

I believe I was born with a degree of self-centeredness and selfishness.

I’m not sure in total what makes me tick, but I do know that God does.

When I took a recent rest from ministry, I did wonder selfishly how our church would survive.

Maybe I had a larger opinion of myself, than was necessary.

God showed me an object lesson, when our giving/tithing at church in the month of May, was of record proportion.

The universal church has learned that there is power in numbers, but in God’s economy, that’s an absolute myth.

I do know that God doesn’t need me, but He really does want me.

I so often make this walk of faith about me, when it doesn’t have anything remotely to do with me.

What do common criminals have in common with each other? They do whatever it takes to get what they want.

We know the world operates like this, and often times the church does too.

Case in point: How many people look for a church that centers around Jesus, and bringing Salvation to this lost  and dying world?

What we’d rather do is scrutinize the music, the service, the leadership, and whether there are eligible opportunities to get what we want.

Once we completely surrender to the will of God and empty ourselves, we can boot out our inflated egos, and then there will be ample room for Him
