It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever felt like God was requiring more from you? Within, you knew God wanted something else from you. While you were serving Him with a pleasant spirit, you felt the Lord pulling at your heart for more of you. You could sense His desire for you to fully commit yourself to Him. Have you ever heard the Lord tell you to give your all to Him? For years you gave little or half of yourself to the Lord, BUT you know God is saying more. No longer could you attempt to manipulate the Lord. No longer could you try to hide yourself and your gifts from the world. No longer could you ask God to bless you with more but you remain unfaithful with the little He gave you to start with (Matthew 25:21). Is God asking you to commit your entire being unto Him? Is the Lord asking you to totally trust Him with your life? Is God telling you to let go and allow Him to have it?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. In our walk with the Lord there will always come a time when we must decide if we will fully live for the Lord or not. We cannot treat God like He is some stranger on the street. We must honor and adore Him. We must surrender and submit unto Him. My friend, Present Your Body! The Bible declares in Romans 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. You must give yourself to be a sacrifice for the Lord. You must allow yourself to be used for the glory of God. You must be willing to do what the Lord says do, go where the Lord sends you, and say what the Lord tells you. You must be available for the Lord’s service.
My brother, my sister, Present Your Body! Present all that you are to the Lord. Do not hold back anything from Him. Until you fully submit and commit to the Lord, He cannot use you like wants to. Until you trust Him with everything, He will not release all that He has for you. How can God trust you with more, if you do not trust Him at all? How can God bless you with overflow, if you are not faithful with what you have now? How can God use you fully, if you are ashamed to give His name total praise? The Bible declares in Jude 1:24-25 – Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Beloved, now is the time for you to Present Your Body! Prayer for Today: Father, allow me to present my body to You as a present. I trust You with all of me. In the name of Jesus … Amen!
