BE THANKFUL    1 Thessalonians 5:13–22 Devotional:- “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (V. 18) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional BE THANKFUL Support Us 1 Thessalonians 5:13–22 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Everyone on earth will always have a need. This is because human wants are unlimited. This has consumed us so much that we often forget to appreciate God for what we have received. Do you know that God sees us as immature whenever we refuse to appreciate him for what he has done for us? This can simply stop Him from doing other things we want Him to do. This can make a blessing to become a curse (Malachi 2:1-2). So, let us be wise to always appreciat Him in all things.

SURRENDER TO GOD

SURRENDER TO GOD

Scripture: Romans 6:1-14

Devotional:- And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God (v. 13) NKJV

     The word surrender look too foolish to the language in the world of winning, succeeding, don't give up or overcoming. But we can only be disciples of Jesus and be like Jesus when we surrender to Him (Romans 12:1). We don't surrender to God with a sense of fear or duty but love. (1 John4:9-10,19). We often don't surrender to God because we don't realize how much God loves us. So we always want to control our own life. For us to be able to surrender to God, we must be able to trust Him, then we can trust our life into His loving hands. We must also admit our limitations and weaknesses, then we can trust in His help.

Surrendering does not mean giving up rational thinking but it is demonstrated in obedience to God no matter what. It means to trust Him to be faithful to His promises. It means waiting patiently for Him (Psalm 37:7). It means not rushing to defend yourself or react to criticism. Everyone eventually surrender to something. No matter what, your life is controlled by something. That is why you should determine who controls your life by submitting to Jesus. People’s lives are controlled by opinion of others or expectations, money, fear, pride, inferiority complex, lust, or ego. But a true disciple of Christ will surrender to God in all things. That is when we can be like Him. Peace

Prayer- Lord, help me to totally surrender to you in all things.

“He who does not surrender to God has to surrender to an idol”.
