SWEET SURRENDER
Monday 2nd May 2022
1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never fails...
May the Unending, enduring, and conquering love of God consume and burn us deep in our souls.
May the love that brings obedience, sacrifice, and surrender run deep into every faculty of our being.
1 Thessalonians 3:12 And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we [do] to you,
Our heavenly Father, cause us to abound in this love.
May You consume, compel, and drive us into all these spiritual activities by the motivation of your love.
John 3:30 He must increase, but I [must] decrease.
We decrease that you may increase, diminish that you may be magnified that men may see, touch, meet, and hear you through our lives.
Our ultimate desire is to be like you Lord; in our speech, tongue, thoughts, and deeds.
So we surrender our good and bad, our best and worse. We place it all at the Your feet that we may desire your desire, long for your longing, and yearn for your yearning.
Psalms 37:4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Let your desire burn in our souls, burden us with your burden and yoke us with Your yoke.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
It is not of us but it is of You. We desire your ways, wisdom, and knowledge ooh Lord.
Proverbs 21:1 The king's heart [is] in the hand of the LORD, [Like] the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.
Incline our hearts towards your Purpose, Will, and what heaven is saying at the time.
We yield our bodies, eyes, ears, mind, feelings, tongue, that all these senses come under your influence.
Luke 22:42 saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."
Lord may it not be our will but Your will be done.
We not only give you our hearts, but we give you our minds. Let your Word dominate our thought, reasoning, imagination, and memory.
James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [you] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [you] double-minded.
We cry for help from above, call us to come and we will come.
Stir up our hearts with a Holy stirring in our souls. Give us a passion for Your kingdom.
We come to the throne of Grace with our eyes on you Jesus. Rain down your mercy upon us. Come through us as our hearts are open (Hebrews 4:16).
John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Father draw us as sons into the Kingdom. We lay down the weight that slows us and put down the things that easily entangle us. We run this race with our eyes set on you (Hebrews 12:1).
Zechariah 4:6 So he answered and said to me: " This [is] the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ' Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of hosts.
Take over and overwhelm our souls precious Holy Spirit.
STAY BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED, WE LOVE YOU. PASTOR BEN OCHOLA.
