“And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all…”
2 Corinthians 7:15
It all began when God said, “YES.”
It’s your turn.
You have been ignoring a message inside of you, a message that is evident all around you. The farther you try to take steps away from the inevitable, the closer you walk right into it. God has given you a word, a dream, a goal, an assignment. I don’t know how long ago it was given, but it is time to say “yes.”
You said ‘yes’ to that job because you are convinced that the paychecks is what pays your bills. You said ‘yes’ to that companionship because you think the closeness to just anyone fills the void. You said ‘yes’ to that car because you think you cannot get to where you ought to be, or where you are going without it. You said ‘yes’ to that house because you feel you would be without a bed to lay your head without it.
But you are hesitant to say “yes,” to the call of the Creator of all these things?!
Now whether or not all your ‘yesses’ have been motivated by the Spirit, or whether your agreement with all these things have yielded the results you wanted, is not the point. You said ‘yes,’ to the life you thought you were to live and to the things that the world has convinced you that you needed.
But if I may, has all these worldly treasures and disillusioned security brought you eternal peace? Have they given you new life? Have they given you new joy, new strength, new hope, and faith? Have they blessed you and given you comfort? Have they guarded and guided you with truth and mercy?
Have they given you wisdom and confidence? Have they been kind to you? Have they been comforting? Have they healed you? Are they forgiving? Go ahead, I dare you, examine your benefits from all that you have said ‘yes,’ to that has not been in alignment with the will of God for your life!
God is ALWAYS merciful, truthful, and full of wisdom.
Can you really compare dwelling in HIS house to dwelling in the place the world has convinced you is your home?
Friend, it is time to say “YES,” to the Alpha and Omega. I’m urging you today to agree and come in alignment with the Great healer and the merciful giver.
The fact that you are here reading this is a testament to how close you are to the beginning of a new “YES,” to the right agreement, and the perfect surrender.
My prayer for you is that every object or subject in your life that has enticed you away from agreement with God, will come to its knees today and bow at the power of the Most High God. May you begin to gain clarity and newness as you arrive at the place of surrender to HIS Will in Jesus name. Amen.
