Surrender to God

Scriptures:

James 1:17
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Jerimiah 10:23
23 O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Philippians 4:13
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

John 12:26
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

Main Points:

  • Worship is a time when we pay deep, sincere, awesome respect, love, and fear to the one who created us.
  • Surrender means to yield ownership, to relinquish control over what we consider “ours”.
  • When we surrender to God we are acknowledging that what we “own” actually belongs to Him.
  • He is the giver of all good things.
  • We are responsible to care for what God has given us, as stewards of his property, but by surrendering to God. we admit that he is in control of everything.
  • By surrendering to God, we let go of whatever has kept us from wanting God’s ways first.
  • You have to be a servant.
