Daily devotion – 26th May Wednesday 2021
Whoever loses his life for My sake…will save it.- Mark 8:35
I am often asked what is the secret for victorious Christian living?
My response is always centred on one word – surrender!
How does one truly surrender their life? You surrender your life the same way that salvation comes to every sinner who seeks God’s forgiveness and grace. There needs to be a confession of sin and a complete yielding of every area of our lives, personalities, and wills to Jesus Christ – plus faith that Jesus Christ will accept that commitment.
It is not enough for us to simply be confirmed or to make a decision for Christ at an altar. We cannot walk successfully in the wake of that experience for the rest of our lives. We need to return and renew those vows and covenants with the Lord. We need to take inventory and have regular spiritual check-ups.
Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” Luke 9:23.
Daily surrender – that is the key to daily victory!
