Renewal of Surrender

Jesus says in John chapter 12 that unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it can’t multiply and produce more wheat. Total surrender and death to ourselves is the only passage to true Kingdom impact and bearing fruit that will last.

Sadly, we all struggle in this area. We cling to areas of our lives and refuse to lay them down at the altar and invite God to invade these areas. It’s a fierce battle between the spirit and the flesh. We deeply desire to do great things for God, but we feel unable to make great sacrifices for Him.

I want to challenge you today to renew your surrender to God's will. Offer yourself as a living sacrifice, yielding to His plans. Remember that true life is found in living by faith in Christ, who gave Himself for you.
