TOPIC: YIELDING TO GOD 7: Yielding To His Will
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:
Jonah 1:1-3.
“1. Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,”
“2. Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.”
“3. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.”
Thinking Point:
When our Will is subjected to His Will, we are yielding to His totality.
Beloved, it’s my joy to share with us today my last point concerning Yielding To God. Yielding to the will of God is another aspect we’ll need to check. Nobody is left out of this area, either as a minister or as a believer, young or old, yielding is necessary for us all. From our Bible reading, we saw how a Prophet of God decided to yield to His will rather than the will of God. He was assigned to go to Nineveh city to deliver a message of repentance but he went to Tarshish instead, why? Not because he was afraid or fearful but he wanted the destructions of the city because of their attitude and behavior. His will differs from God’s Will so he acted on his.
How often do we find reasons not to go the way of the Lord, carrying out His Will because we have a hurt against a fellow. In anger, envy, jealousy we disobey God’s instructions to be of help to others, to be a solution to many and this has put us in the belly of a Whale like Jonah. How often do we try to teach God what to do than to do His Will? Yielding to His will is paramount than our ambitions. Are we sure we’re not in this situation we found ourselves because we decided to go against His Will? We can always go back to God as Jonah did and seek for mercy to fulfill God’s Will for our lives. Yielding to God’s Will is what we should strive to do. Every area of our lives is patterned according to His Will just that we never seek for it. As we round up this week on this topic, I’lI like us to take a deep breath, and ask ourselves, why am I struggling with God’s Will? Make the discovery and surrender to His Will, and things will be better.
Good Day and God Bless you.
