It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever wondered how you overcame the many trials and traps in your life? It seemed as if everywhere you went someone was out to destroy you. No matter what you said or how you said it, this person was determined to flip your words around to mean something totally different. Have you ever wondered how people could spend all of their energy despising you and your ministry? Through love, you attempt to befriend this person but their animosity and jealousy toward you was a barrier. Their inner conflicts caused them to turn their back to your friendly gesture. Have you become so overwhelmed with life and the many challenges it presents until you desired to throw in the towel? You grew tired of fighting and defending yourself. Have you been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. If you said, “yes” to any of the above asked questions, you are in good company. I believe the called and anointed of God have experienced these times in their life. Whether you believe it or not, to be anointed will cost you something. It will come with challenges. However, God never calls anyone unless He plans to use them for His glory. Every road may not look straight but God is still able to bring you across. My friend, Does Your Life Belong to Him? Have you totally surrendered your all unto the Lord? Have you freely submitted your will to the Lord’s will? The Bible declares 1 Peter 5:6 – Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: No matter how impossible things appear right now, God fights the battles for His children. You are victorious, but do you realize it? Many people walk in “unrealized” victory. Although it has been won for them, they have yet to take hold of it.
My brother, my sister, Does Your Life Belong to Him? Think about it. Have you given your all to the Lord? Have you released everything in the hands of the Lord? Everything including your family, your friends, your finances, etc. Everything!!! The Bible declares in Proverbs 3:5 – Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Beloved, God is trustworthy. He is faithful. How many battles has the Lord lost? How many patients has the Lord lost? How many promises has the Lord broken? How many traps has the Lord fallen into? The answer to each of the questions is NONE! Now, how many battles have you lost? How many promises have you broken? How many traps have you fallen into? Does Your Life Belong to Him? Prayer for Today: Father, help me to totally surrender everything to You today. Help me realize You are all I need to survive. Everything else comes as a result of my relationship with You. In the name of Jesus … Amen!
