I SURRENDER TO YOUR WILL


Bible Reading: Matthew 26:36-45

Text:"... O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as l will, but as You will. " (vs. 39 NKJV)


COMMENTARY

Prayer is one of the essential disciplines of a godly life, yet many believers struggle to fully grasp its depth. At its core, prayer is a conversation with God—a sacred interaction between a loving Father and His beloved children. It is not meant to be a fearful or intimidating experience. Jesus Himself taught His disciples to address God as "Father," just as He did (Luke 11:2).

True prayer requires both honesty and faith—honesty with ourselves and sincerity before God. As Christ approached the final moments of His earthly journey, He prayed in Gethsemane with deep emotion: "If it be possible, may this cup be taken from me." He understood that this request was not aligned with God’s eternal plan, yet He did not hold back His feelings. However, His honesty did not lead to rebellion. Even in anguish, He surrendered to the Father’s will, saying, "Not as I will, but Your will be done." This powerful moment teaches us that God's will must always take precedence over our personal desires.

We, too, must be willing to surrender our own will and trust in God's perfect plan. When we come before Him with a heart of genuine honesty and submission, we may not always see our circumstances change—but we can be certain that He will transform us through the experience.

Rest well, and may His peace be with you. Goodnight.


Prayer Points

1. Heavenly Father, teach me to always surrender to your will in Jesus name.

2. Lord Jesus, lead me and my family in the path of honesty and submission to your plans and purpose for our lives in Jesus name.

3. Open my eyes to see the beauty of your decision in every challenge I face in

Jesus name.

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
