POWER TO LAY DOWN: PART 2

John 3:16(For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life).

In the journey of life, we are to follow the footstep of our Heavenly Father who created us in His own image; only then can we make headway. He lay down His only begotten son, so that He can have us back to Himself. When God created the first man He sowed a seed of blessing to them; but He first of all gave him His breath. Genesis 1:28a (And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it). From the time God created man He has never stopped giving to man. (Genesis 1:28-30) shows us how God was just given man everything without asking for anything in return. God will not ask us to do what He has not empowers us to do; that’s why He taught us how to give by giving to us; the best way to teach a child is by showing them example.  if I am meant to release something into your palms and your fist are close, you won’t be able to receive it; and if you don’t release what you locked in, there is no way you can receive what is available for you; so nothing goes out and nothing comes in; and that is stagnation. The blessing of God is meant to flow through our hands not our head; but if your hand is always close; how then can the blessing flow through it. The ability to lay down is a cure to every form of frustration in life; Peter laid down his boat for Jesus to use after toiling all night and caught no fish. Some people would have been very angry with Jesus after a frustrating night of no fish but he did not. Luke 5:4(Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net).  Friends, I don’t know that things that refuse to work in your hand; it is time to lay it down at the feet of Jesus; Let him use it and revive it for you. Peter’s boat refused to work; but when he gave it to Jesus it began to work perfectly; Peter did not change location, it was the same Peter, the same boat, the same water and the same net. A night of frustration was terminated on the platform of giving. The love of God in our heart is what empowers us to surrender our life to Him; God loves the world and He gave His only son and in return He has many sons; Jesus loves the Father and he surrenders his life as a sacrifice and the Father loves him and gives him everything. Peter’s breakthrough experience has already shown us that God has giving everything to His son; because Jesus knows exactly where the fishes were;  the same way he knows what you are looking for and how you can get them without stress but the scripture cannot be broken, you just have to surrender.  John 3:35(The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 36 he that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him). And the scripture said in 1 Corinthians 2:9(But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him). Friends, I want us to note something from this scripture; God has prepared blessings for his lover; it is already prepared waiting for you to lay down whatever that is contesting with your love for Him. Our God is a jealous God; God wants us to dedicate our life to Him as a living sacrifice; that means, our own will is no longer important; we surrender everything to Him; we accept to obey His commandment and allow Him to rule over our life. Are you tired of your life; is your business and career frustrating you, are you toiling like Peter and the net refuse to catch a fish; are you contemplating suicide or are you just counting days; is your health challenge; are you now an object of mockery among people; then this message is for you; it is time to lay them down. I call this prayer below small but mighty; just continue to meditate on it and you will have your testimony in Jesus name.

Pray this prayer: Lord Jesus, I am tired and I need help; I am ready to give you everything that I have in exchange for my peace, thou prince peace help me. Lord Jesus, take all of me and give me more of you; take all of me and give me more of your Holiness, I need more of your righteousness O Lord; take all of me and give me more of your faithfulness.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
