Surrender Fully

I once revisited some of my books and came across on my Reinhard Bonnke - "Time is running out". This was a book given to me by Alvin, my good brother whom the Lord has placed in my life to make significant contributions to my Spiritual Growth.

In this book, Alvin wrote about Dwight Moody, an Evangelist in the 1800s who impacted the world for Jesus. Alvin wrote about why Moody was of use by God.

Moody was
- fully surrendered
- prayed abundantly
- had no love for money
- humble before the Lord
- lived a Spirit-Filled life (that means, he knew God intimately)

God doesn't choose us to do things which are impossible for us. God is a God of impossibilities. God empowers as we obey Him in the things that He wants us to do. Not only in doing the things that I'm expected to do, but to step out, voice out and go the extra mile to become Excellent. To take lead in the vital things that many Christians shun away from. To voice out and proclaim His Gospel (as prompted by the Spirit) when many Christian simply wanna be comfortable and popular to non-believers. .

Sometimes, going the extra mile makes us look like fools. It seems to others that we're simply wasting our time, energy and finances on the things are aren't necessary. However, God delights in shaming the wise by using fools. God simply wants Child-Like faith in His people. People who hear His instructions and do them without doubt, nor rationalising His voice with our human understanding. This is also a major reason why the world nor many of God's Children do not hear the voice of God - their minds are clouded with logically understanding and therefore hinder or block out the spontaneous whisper of God.

This was also why Moody could hear God's voice - He was "Fully surrendered". Nothing in Him was placed above God enough to doubt God's instruction. He was also of use by God because nothing in Him hindered him of obeying that voice that he heard. He simply did it, regardless of the circumstances that was before him. Even if it meant being hurled insults and mockery, he would do it. Even if it meant that his message would be rejected, he continued to believe that if God spoke, there would definitely be a great reason and purpose behind it.

Christians get confused because Satan has planted seeds of lies in their minds to corrupt them in their understanding about how God works. The bible says that Satan is the Father of Lies and have come to "steal, kill and destroy" (John 10:10)

God never does anything for the joy of the moment and everything that he does, he does it so that the people will know him. This is the work of the Holy Spirit in this later times. God is always objective and focused on his plans. He never procrastinates and never acts rashfully. He never fails because He is Love (1 Cor 13:8) and his plans are always beneficial for His people (Rom 8:28).

Today, let's be Fully Surrenderred for the purposes of God. Let's sow unsparingly into His Kingdom and let's Seek to know Him intimately, so that through God, we know that we have lived a life on earth Well-Spent.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.... (John 15:16)
