Now we know

For we are not ignorant of the devices of the enemy
With all the vices going on in various parts of the world
We are firm in the promises of the Lord in His word

The scriptures contain the truth we need so we search
It helps us guide our heart with all diligence all the way
We keep on with the fight of faith for fear is a defeated fellow

Now we know, we wrestle not against flesh and blood
This war we fight neither with swords nor physical strength
But the weapon sharper than two edged sword; the word

So we let not our hearts be troubled for He is with us
We put on the breastplate of righteousness in all
And walk with our heads high in victory parade always

WWF- SUBMISSION contd

Leave a comment

Jesus Christ is literally saying in Revelation 3:20, that He is standing at door of everyone’s heart. That if any hears His voice and opens, He will come in to dine with that fellow. And you can imagine, if the Lord Jesus is supping with you, who is that foe that will disturb? The Lord Himself will handle such. (Psalm 23:5 should come to mind.)

But this will not happen, if you don’t on your own open up to Him sincerely from your heart. That is, you willingly submit unto Him…

Note also that being a willing submission, it has to be daily renewed. Remember in physics, natural vibration does not go on forever. It dwindles to a trickle after a while. So, it has to have a resonant assistance to keep it going. So also it is when walking with Jesus Christ, we will have to daily renew our willing submission to Him.

Luke 9:23

And He(Jesus Christ) said to THEM ALL, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Let me make these points with Bible references, and draw the curtain on this, though I could continue with more. But I pray God’s Spirit elaborate this better in your heart and mind. Amen.

*Without willing submission there cannot be a proper growth. And without proper growth, privileges that come with growth will be wanting.
Galatians 4:1

*It takes willing submission for one to be able to follow God’s master plan, perfect will, for one in Christ Jesus. God’s master plan is only available in Christ Jesus. And the only qualification for it is willing submission. Romans 12:1-2.

*Without willing submission you cannot command authority. Show me a man who is at the command of the supernatural, and I will show you a man who has willingly yielded himself, his all, to all of God in Christ Jesus. 2Corinthians 10:6.

*Without willing, free, spirit in you to submit, you cannot properly preach the gospel, nor effectively win souls for Christ.

Psalm 51:12-13

12 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy FREE SPIRIT (SPIRIT OF WILLINGNESS, according to direct Hebrew interpretation.)

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.

Pray this from your heart:
Father, uphold me with Your spirit of willingness, that I may do and finish all that you have written for me in Christ Jesus, and enjoy every step of the way.

Amen.

WWF- SUBMISSION

Leave a comment

Submission simply means yielding, giving up oneself to somebody, a cause or something. Basically, submission can be categorized into two, viz: forced and willing.

Forced submission is a situation whereby one is made to do something forcefully against one’s will. While Willing submission is when someone sees reason why to be given to something and do just that from the heart.

See, God wants for all people to willingly submit themselves to Him, without being forced. God of the Bible is not like other gods, who are no gods at all, who make people to follow them forcefully. No, He does not do that. It’s not His nature. He loves mutual understanding above other things. He is a fan of willingness, not subjection.
God of the Bible normally approaches everybody with the desire for them to willingly submit to Him. But not cooperating with this will bring one to forced submission before God in the end. At last those that are not submitted to Jesus Christ willingly will experience forced submission, especially during His millennial reign… But this will not lead to their salvation. It will be too late by then. All that rejected Jesus Christ, to willingly make Him their Lord and Saviour, shall finally be cast into the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.

Matthew 21:42&44

42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Isaiah 45:22-23

22 Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

23 I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Philippians 2:9-11

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father…
