GROWING STRONGER: AS A WORSHIPPING COMMUNITY - THE HEART OF WORSHIP
"Give yourselves to God...Surrender your whole being to him to be used for
righteous purposes: (Romans 6:13b TEV)
Surrender is not the best way to live; it is the only way to live. Nothing else
works. All other approaches lead to frustration, disappointment and
self-destruction. The King James version calls surrender "your reasonable
service." Another version translates it "the most sensible way to serve God".
Surrendering your life is not a foolish emotional impulse but a rational,
intelligent act, the most responsible and sensible thing you can do with your
life. That is why Paul said, "So we make it our goal to please him." Your wisest
moments will be those when you say yes to God.
Sometimes it takes years, but eventually you discover that the greatest
hindrance to God's blessing in your life is not others, it is yourself - your
self-will, stubborn pride, and personal ambition. You cannot fulfill God's
purposes for your life while focusing on your own plans.
If God is going to do his deepest work in you, it will begin with this. So give
it all to God: your past regrets, your present problems, your future ambitions,
your fears, dreams, weaknesses, habits, hurts, and hang-ups. Put Jesus Christ in
the driver's seat of your life and take your hands off the steering wheel.
Don't be afraid; nothing under his control can ever be out of control. Mastered
by Christ, you can handle anything. You will be like Paul: "I am ready for
anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses inner strength into me,
that is, I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency." Paul said, "I die
daily." There is a moment of surrender, and there is the practice of surrender,
which is moment-by-moment and lifelong. The problem with a living sacrifice is
that it can crawl off the altar, so you may have to resurrender your life fifty
times a day. You must make it a daily habit. Jesus said, "If people want to
follow me, they must give up the things they want. They must be willing to give
up their lives daily to follow me."
Now is your time to surrender - to God's grace, love and wisdom. As individually
we surrender in worship to God as the way we live then we will be transformed as
a worshipping community.

Matthew 5:14 'You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
