A CONTRACT WITH GOD!

I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. Romans 6:19

Surrender isn’t just the best way to live - it’s the only way! Nothing else works. All other approaches lead to frustration, disappointment, and self-destruction. The Bible calls surrender, “Your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1). Your wisest moments will be those when you say ‘yes’ to God. Sometimes it takes years, but eventually you discover that the greatest hindrance to God’s using you and His blessings - is you! You cannot fulfill God’s purposes for your life while focusing exclusively on your own plans. If God’s going to do His deepest work in you, it’ll begin with surrender. So give it all to God: your past regrets, your present problems, your future ambitions, your fears, dreams, weaknesses, habits, hurts, and hang-ups. Put Jesus in the driver’s seat and take your hands off the wheel. Don’t be afraid; nothing under His control can ever be out of control. Mastered by Christ, you can handle anything. One of the great Christian leaders of the 20th Century is Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade. Through the Four Spiritual Laws tract, and the Jesus film (seen by over 4 billion), over 150 million people have, through the Holy Spirit, come to know Jesus Christ. When asked why God used him so much, Bill replied: “When I was a young man I made a contract with God. I literally wrote it out and signed my name at the bottom. It said, ‘From this day forward I am a slave of Jesus Christ.’” Think maybe you too need a contract with God?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I give thee but Thine own, whatever the gift may be, all that I have is Thine alone, a trust Oh Lord from thee. Amen
