When he said everybody was around I decided to call for you because there are times we have to confront issues to make headway.
I have told him that living for God is a call to a life of surrender and as negative as the word sounds, it is the key to victorious living.
Surrendering to God’s leading, counsel, directions and decisions.
Trusting Him more than our senses
Trusting that He has the best plan for us because He knows the end from the beginning.
Genuine surrender says “Father, if this problem, situation or circumstance is needed to fulfill your purpose and glory in my life or in another’s, please don’t take it away”
Surrender is warfare and it does not weaken us, instead it makes us stronger. Once a man surrenders to God, you don’t have to fear or surrender to anything else.
The truth is, we all surrender to something…opinions or expectations of others, cultural beliefs, ego, pride, fear, lusts, resentment, unforgiveness but the only surrender that guarantees victory is when we surrender to God’s will.
The Bible says in Job Chapter 22 verse 21“Surrender to God, you will find peace and prosperity”
Then he turned to Folahan and said
“Bro Folahan, we are here…all five of us with God in our midst. You said it times without number, before they got here, that God has told you again and again that Sister Aramide is your wife, and whatever you decide here today will receive heaven’s stamp.
What do you want to do?”
Folahan raised his head so I got off him, then he sat up but did not respond. His eyes were bloodshot.
Pastor T suggested that Uncle Ade should talk too
“Thank you man of GodI already said a lot o and your words are just confirmation from God.
Olufolahan…I can’t say that I know exactly how you are feeling but I know that feelings are transitory which is why we cannot base long-term decisions on them.
I also know is that a sure word from God is valid for a man’s lifetime.
You already got that and God also confirmed it with others, including me.
I once told you that if God tells you to walk through a wall, don’t hesitate…
If He tells you to walk through fire, forget your senses…
If you see an open road, straight and smooth but God says NO…please don’t follow it…
It is time to trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
