Day 12 The more of myself I give to God, the more I have of Him.
Romans 12:1-2
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
In the spiritual world, there is a law known as the “Law of Exchange,” which establishes that when we give Him more of ourselves, He gives us more of Himself. John the Baptist would say, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (Jn 3:30). This should be our desire, because the supernatural transformation in a believer is based on an exchange of lives. Our “self” and our will must decrease so that Jesus can grow in us.
We must end sin and stop pleasing the desires of the flesh. If we obey God, deny ourselves and take up our cross every day, we will receive the life of Christ. However, if we keep giving in to the desires of the flesh, we are on a course heading to eternal death. What can we do? Walk in the Spirit: that will empower us to do the will of God.
When we walk in the Spirit, we live free of condemnation (Ro. 8:1). Today, we surrender our ego so that God may pour His spirit over us. One thing I have proven: the more of myself I give to God, the more I have of Him.
Activation
You can have more of God, as you give Him more of who you are. Today is a good day to start a new life in Christ.
Pray with me
Lord Jesus, I ask for forgiveness for having offended You. I repent and I give every area of my life where You’re not the Lord. I surrender my ego, I submit my will, I give my life to You so that You may pour Your spirit on me. I put my life on the altar as an offering, knowing that the more I give of me, the more I have of You. Glory and honor to You Lord! Amen
