Yielding to Christ

Hello beautiful family💞 If you’re new here HI 5 🤚🏾

The train is leaving the station, get your finest seat. (I sit by the window, always because Incase of emergency 🚨 😂 but you don’t have to here. The only danger is hell )

In a nutshell yielding is defined as surrender, submission, to comply with, to be overcome , to conform to. This is something many many Christians sing but do not understand. “I surrender all to thee my blessed Saviour” is “l submit or yield all to you Jesus” now take a moment to Selah.

You sang it but did you understand the words? If you did , how come the next moment you refused to yield your finances and only tithed 2%? Why is it that you decided by yourself who to date or marry? Didn’t you say you surrendered all to Him? Hmmm… do we really understand or do we say words carelessly to stir up emotions or to sound spiritual?

Before we go in too deep and we start swimming with the sharks, l want to give an opportunity to someone who is not saved to receive Christ. The truth is, these things we talk about remain empty words if you are not saved. We can only yield to Holy Spirit if we have yielded to Christ. You cannot get on a plane you don’t have a ticket for. You don’t just pack and rush to the airport. The first step is to book your flight which is yielding to be taken to a destination by a particular airline, you understand that you cannot walk to Egypt or swim to China, you can’t, so you getting on their plane is you surrendering your life to them .

Likewise, the first step is salvation because we can’t get to the deep things of the Spirit if we ignore Jesus Christ. Nobody arrives in heaven without Him. Honestly, if you can entrust your life to a pilot you do not know, if you can entrust a human being with your heart then you can give your life to Christ. The greater part of this journey is us experiencing God to the point where our lives are a full experience and expression of Christ. God wants to help you in every aspect of your life but you must yield by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ. Isn’t that beautiful? He’s saying YIELD TO MY LOVE! ”For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Come on, pray with me my friend.

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, thank you. Thank you for the opportunity to give my life to you. I receive you today as my Lord and Saviour. I believe that you came from God, died for me, rose from the dead and has now returned in glory and to glory to the Father. My heart has received many people but today my heart is receiving the best, The Messiah. Thank you for washing away my sins, henceforth, l am a new creation and l belong to you.

___________ (your name) “and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Remember, YOU ARE SPECIAL, God loves you, l love you! 💓

Wow! experiencing God to the point where our lives are a full experience and expression of Christ!✍🏾 Yes, because if we are to yield, to live lives that are purpose filled and are indeed an expression of Jesus then at some point we need to experience and encounter Him for ourselves. I NEED that experience and encounter with Him

Eish…everyday, everyday I trust a random bus driver who probably doesn’t even care about me and most definitely doesn’t know me, with my life but I fail to trust The One who gave up His life for mine?😩geez! It’s not giving psalms 82:6💀
