My Isaac
October'2017.. God asked :
HOW SURE ARE YOU THAT YOU HAVE SURRENDERED YOUR LIFE TO ME, CHILD? HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR HEART LATELY? HOW ABOUT YESTERDAY? EARLIER TODAY?.. those were the questions thrown at me, and I was left stunned.
Then - remembered Abram.
Sometime later, God tested Abraham’s faith. “Abraham!” God called. “Yes,” he replied. “Here I am.” “Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
Genesis 22:1-2
Then I realized, God was specifically asking me to surrender whatever I have inside my heart. EVERYTHING, not just a portion OF IT. Which made me realize that God knows and sees everything.
I was crying so hard that I cannot stop myself from shaking because I knew at that moment, in every aspect of my life was bound to change. I found myself saying "ALL THAT I HAVE LORD IS YOURS SO I'M GIVING IT ALL TO YOU.. MAY YOUR WILL BE DONE." But it didn't stop there, God said "SURRENDER IT, BECAUSE I WILL BLESS IT." And I understood at that moment that I will be a full-time worker for God's kingdom once the National Conference is done.
So I cut off all access from the person God asked me to surrender at that moment. Deleted his number and didn't even look at his face. Totally decided to LET EVERYTHING DIE for that person.I have to DIE TO MYSELF at that very moment too and let God's will be done.
Told no one about it, not even my leader. NOT YET..
I reckoned, this process will prepare me for God's promise. So I obeyed God's instructions. Things might look different at that time,it may take longer than anticipated to what I thought, but God's way is always best.
And so I indeed begun serving fulltime in my ministry and just focus on reaching out to people and spent most of my time with them, which will always be a joyful thing to do. Didn't realized that He is already doing a deep work in me. When God requires me to aim HIGHER and reach FARTHER in that season, I had to understand that by doing so, I have to trust Him because He has paved the way for everyone already.I must say that God works on both ends. We became whole in our walk with Christ when we fixed our eyes and focus first to Him and took action to our commitment to God.
If you think something is taking too long to pass, I'll say to you "DON'T GIVE UP." It will come right on time whatever promise it may be, if it is from God. He will always be on time.
2018 came and my Isaac became my Ephesians 3:20, at the rigt time God will make it happen.
A new part of my heart I never knew existed.
I'm loving the journey of consistently living a lifestyle of praise and gratefulness with you. Thank you for the support, encouragement and being the best worship partner in life I could asked for. You always lights up the lives of so many, especially me.
I look forward for lunch time everyday, and It is always a joy to do life with my best friend.. I will say this again, your garment of praise impacts the people surrounding you. I know you always pray for me, and I praise God for your life.
HAPPY 4TH OF APRIL Love 😍
