Yield
“Whom
have I in heaven but You? And I have no delight or desire on earth besides You. 26.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the Rock and firm Strength of my
heart and my Portion forever.” Psalms 73:25,26 (Amp)
In our driving,
“yield” means to give the “right of away” to someone else. In the
spiritual sense, we are saying that we are giving Almighty God the “right of
way” of our lives yielding to His power and His control.
Read:
Romans 6:6-18
How Do I Yield?
I. Admit that God’s Way Is The Best Way
2 Corinthians 10:5
bring yourself subject to Christ
Matthew 6:33 seek
first His spiritual Kingdom purpose
"My
thoughts are completely different from yours," says the LORD. "And my
ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. 9 For just as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts
higher than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8,9 (NLT)
II. We Must Surrender
Our Lives To Almighty God
Matthew 11:28-30
be yoked together with Him
1 John 2:6 walk in
His way
vs. 12,13 do not
be used as a tool to wickedness and sin
Psalms 73:25,26
only He can bring ultimate satisfaction
III. We Must Obey
God’s directives For Our Lives
We can listen to what
God is saying, and we can agree to everything He says and yet not yield,
actually do nothing about it!
“You
ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may
spend it on your pleasures.” James 4:3 (NASB)
IV. Why should I Yield
To God?
1) we will
experience spiritual success when we yield to the Lord
2) we will
experience spiritual satisfaction never experienced
3) we will
experience surety of who we are and where our spiritual strength and power
comes from
“Those
who trust in the LORD are as secure as
Mount
Zion
; they will not be defeated but will
endure forever. 2. Just as the mountains surround and protect
Jerusalem
, so the LORD surrounds and protects
his people, both now and forever.” Psalms 125:1,2 (NLT)
Is
Jesus in the back seat- or is He in the drivers seat of your life ?
