Topic: YIELDING TO GOD 7: Yielding It All
MEMORY VERSE:
Romans 6:16.
“16. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
BIBLE READING:
1 Kings 19:19-21.
“19. So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20. And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
21. And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.”
As we round up our study for this week, we shall be considering Prophet Elisha who yielded it all to follow Prophet Elijah. He gave it all and ran after Him to pour water in His hand. Total yielding to God is what makes us greater in the purpose of God for our lives. Going further than others will go. When the mantle of Leadership rested on Elisha, he begged Elijah to wait for him as He closes up His Business and followed Elijah to be the next world prophet.
Mind you, not everyone will be called to this type of yielding, some will be called to yield them selves to Him totally while they retain their personal jobs. Apostle Paul was called to yield it all also but He was still a tent maker who cared for himself and those with him. Elisha fully yielded to Elijah till death separated him. All we need to know is this, Is God calling me to yield it all by following Him? We’ve seen mathematicians, Medical Doctors, Architects, Engineers and other fields who yielded it all. Which area is God asking you to yield it all? Time to search out and do the needful like Elisha. Yielding it all brings the highest fulfillment in life.
Good Day and God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
