Once we come to the place of surrender, GOD can use us to establish HIS Kingdom on earth!
When we finally come to that place of full surrender, HE will get the glory. If we haven’t fully surrendered, we will attempt to take the glory for the results.
King David recorded in a song by The Holy Spirit in 1st Chronicles chapter 16:
8 Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His Name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!
10 Glory in His Holy Name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD! 28 Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Give to the LORD glory and strength.
29 Give to the LORD the glory due His Name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of Holiness!
30 Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.”
How do we express our surrender to THE LORD? Give thanks, give HIM the glory, give HIM an offering, walk in HIS Holiness, and walk in the Fear of THE LORD for HE reigns.
If you try to bring forth glory to yourself, you will hinder your spiritual growth and may even become subject to HIS correction.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Habakkuk chapter 2:
14 For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Haggai chapter 2:
6 “For thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;
7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the LORD of hosts.
8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the LORD of hosts.
9 ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of hosts.”
FATHER’S Kingdom and the fullness of HIS Glory will come… count on it! This will be done through a yielded, surrendered people. The earth is to be our inheritance where we are to rule and reign.
What prevents us from fulfilling HIS mandate? Fear and unbelief! Fear will always direct your worship and focus. You focus on a problem out of fear rather than trusting Our Heavenly Father for the solution. If you are afraid of going broke, you will hoard your resources. If you are afraid of not being recognized by others, you will hold on to the opportunity to make sure people notice that you are the one responsible for the act, gift, or achievement.
Fear is a horrible taskmaster, and we are to fight fear by fully submitting to THE LORD in all areas of our life. The Scripture constantly tells us to “fear not” so let us replace fear with the peace of GOD by fully surrendering and submitting to HIS Word.
Fear will always attract whatever information is necessary to legitimize its existence. Fear is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Searching social media provides such a source of information to find agreement and fulfill the prophecy. There are a multitude of opinions that will tweak fear’s attraction to you. The most repeated command in Scripture is “do not fear”.
When I am anxious, I don’t hear from HIM well and I live from HIS Voice.
As Jesus said in Matthew chapter 4:
4 But Jesus answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the Mouth of God.'”
When we come to a place of full surrender to GOD and HIS Word, we will no longer entertain fear or unbelief but instead we will give HIM the glory and do our part in fulfilling HIS mandate on the earth.
