THE PLACE OF SURRENDER (PT 2.)


21ST MARCH

MEMORY VERSE: Rom 12: 1
(I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.)

TEXT: John 12:24-25
24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
    25, He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

It’s required that we lay down our gifts or talents before the Lord for them to be useful in His service. God cannot be glorified by that which we refuse to lay down before him. Abandon your life, your cares and gifts to Him and you will be amazed at what He will do with you. He is able to cause you to boom and blossom like Aaron’s rod (see Num 17:7-8).
Until a vessel is empty and made available to be filled, it cannot be filled. Until we are desperately hungry for the presence of God and surrender for Him to when we lay down everything that would have taken His place in our lives, we will never experience the manifest glory of God.

ACTION POINT
As we willingly decrease for Him to increase, surrender from our heart to the Lord becomes a reality and we simply want to live for His glory.
