Word for the Day

Word for the day 10-8-10
Each believer decides who rules his life, by either actively surrendering to Christ or deliberately going his own way.
Even those who try to avoid the issue by making no choice at all unknowingly opt for self-rule.
The fullness of the spirit and godly character await those who choose God over self.
No one produces these amazing qualities in himself.
God wants every Christian to be filled with the Spirit, Many Christians are not sure what this means or what this looks like.
To help us understand that whatever fills us controls us.
Trying harder to be godly will never work. Character transformation occurs when we submit to God, giving Him complete control of our lives.
Only then will the spirit be free to produce fruit that remains even in the deepest, darkest storms.
Surrendering may not seem like a way to advance, because you feel you don’t have control,
But in reality were just handing over the controls to God and saying
You guide me where you want me to go, doing so require a lot of trust.
We serve a God who is worthy of our faith and confidence.
Read Matthew 11-13 ; 14-16; 23-24; Ephesians 5:18-21
