  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word.

NEVER LOOK BACK

NEVER LOOK BACK

Luke 9:57-62
"But Jesus said to him, No one, having put hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (V. 62)

   

     Indecision is one of the characteristics of failure and can result to double defeat. So, a single focus is Important for anyone that will succeed. Every one that will enjoy the kingdom grace must be determined to follow, not withstanding. Most people that are found in the church today have not really come to a point of conclusion whether to follow the Lord or not to follow the Lord. Many are only attracted by bread and cake. Such people want to follow Him only when He is good to them. They will love Him as much as it is rosy and the going is well. One of their legs are inside and the other outside. Any little thing could make them tum back from following Him.

Though there is no time that God is not good to us, but God is always interested in building and training us for the challenges of the future. Most of such times look odd to us. And it looks as if God has deserted us. No matter how we see Him, He is always Good (Psalm 100:5). There are just two basic experiences in life: peace and trouble and God is the giver of peace. You are to decide what to enjoy. lf you are going to be a victor in the strength of God then you have got to take the decision to follow Him notwithstanding. Storms will come, wind will blow, but never allow your faith to be shaken.

Don't forget He is always with you (Isaiah 43:2, Roman 8:31). And that is why no situation can swallow you. Make the decision today and God will uphold you by His right hand (Isaiah 41:10).

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep my focus on you alone
