KEY SCRIPTURE: Romans 12:1 ” I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

A life committed to the Lord is the safest way to live. Our key scripture says it is our reasonable service. This implies that every other way is unreasonable. When the Israelites were leaving Egypt, King Pharaoh suggested the children of Israel. Exodus 10:24 “And Pharaoh called unto Moses and said, go ye serve the Lord, only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you”. Pharaoh’s request is one of the biggest strategies of Satan. He tells you to serve God, yet for one Sunday in the month, just stay at home and rest. Serve God with all you have, but keep your money and don’t make sacrifices unto God. He may ask you to serve the Lord but just keep the worldly music or maybe some “x” films. (X-rated films are pornographic films). Satan says to serve God but leave something small for him.

Please listen to Moses’ answer to King Pharaoh. Exodus 10:26 “Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind, for thereof must we take to serve the Lord….”. Dear child of God, let God have everything. Anything left for the devil leaves you in bondage to satan Everything given to God is your deliverance or your real freedom. The call of God is purely for our deliverance and liberty. Give everything over to the Lord. This is the most secure way to live. The Lord Jesus explained this in Matthew 16:25 this way “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it”. Don’t be wiser than the master. The man who fails to commit his whole life totally unto the Lord would lose it, although he may be attempting to secure it.

Satan is an enemy of all men. He is like a roaring Lion seeking whom he may devour. Who are those he may or can devour? Those who have decided not to yield their whole being to the Lord Jesus. Such a person has no shepherd over his soul. The enemy has the cheapest task to pounce on such a person and tear him or her apart. The Holy Spirit begs us in the key scripture to give ourselves totally to Him.

CONFESSION

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the opportunity to be yielded to you. My life is perfectly secured, and no devil can make a mess of me because the Lord is my shepherd.
