Absolute Surrender


God frequently requires adjustments in areas of our lives that we have never considered or been open to in the past. You may have heard someone say something like this: "Don't ever tell God something you don't want to do ...That is what He will ask you to do." God's not looking for ways to make our lives difficult. However, He intends to be the Lord of your life. When we identify a place where we refuse to allow His Lordship, that is where He will go to work. He is seeking absolute surrender. God may or may not require us to do the thing we identified, but He will keep working until we are willing for Him to be Lord of all. Remember, because God loves us, His will is always best! Any adjustment God expects us to make is for our good. As we follow Him, the time may come when our life and future may depend on our adjusting quickly to God's directives.

We shouldn't adjust our life to a concept. We should align our life to God. We should alter our viewpoints to resemble His. Change our ways to be like His ways. After we make the necessary adjustments, He will tell us what to do next in order to obey Him. When we follow Him, we will experience Him doing through us something only He can do.

Without God at work in you, you can do nothing to produce Kingdom fruit. When God purposes to do something, He gurantees it will come to pass. He is the One who will accomplish what He intends to do. If you depend on anything other than God, you are asking for failure in Kingdom terms. He seeks for us to give absolute surrender to Him.
