Fully Commit to the Lord; For He Has Done Great Things For Us

God is very serious about our commitment to Him. He watches us all the time and checks the motives of our hearts when we ask for things or when we say that we love Him with all of our heart, but we really don’t make time for Him or don’t obey when He calls us. As we turn our full commitment towards Him, He will lift the veil over our eyes and we will begin to be transformed into His very own image from glory to glory. If we shortchange God, or don’t change and stay in our stubborn ways, we won’t be able to hear God, then, trouble will find us. However, if we are fully committed to God, we will be protected and our vision, sight and words will be unlimited in power. If we are fully committed to God, we don’t have to ask Him for anything! He said He shall supply our every need and He will give it to us anyway because we are wholeheartedly, fully and faithfully committed to Him.

Our attitudes should be the same as Jesus who was God as He faithfully committed to come to earth to save us. In a like manner, we should treat our “earthly masters” our pastors like we treat Christ and also serve them wholeheartedly. We used to be slaves to sin, but when the Word begins to come in from the pastors, we are set free and become slaves to righteousness. We are supposed to listen and obey the Word from God and not put anything before God. Our lives depend on our full commitment to God. God searches the earth looking for people fully committed to Him. Commit to God and all your plans will succeed. God gives us a committed promise: If we prove ourselves faithful to God, then He will entrust us with the secret things of God which produces the fear of the Lord in us, which makes us obey and listen to God and not put anything before Him. Those who fear Him, they lack nothing! God will open up the windows of heaven and pour out blessings on the faithful and wholehearted committed ones. God searches the earth, and says, “A faithful man, who can I find?”

Be wholeheartedly faithful and God will speak to you. Trust in the Lord, cast all your fears on Him and He will give you the desires of your heart. God wants us to make the right choices, so we can operate in the power of God. A faithful man will be richly blessed. We must qualify ourselves by serving him wholeheartedly and faithfully, all the time. Choose which master that you will serve and commit to him 100%. What didn’t work before will work now because of our commitment. God said He will instruct and teach us in the way we should go and He will watch over us and protect us because we are faithful and committed to Him. Do we fear God enough to come when He tells you to come? If you do not fear God you will lack things. If you change, God will change you. Obey God, listen to Him and follow Him, and lack will leave you.

Power Scripture: But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. Romans 6:17-18

GUIDED BIBLE STUDY:

THE LORD REPLIED, ‘’I HAVE FORGIVEN THEM, AS YOU ASKED. NEVERTHELESS, AS SURELY AS I LIVE AND AS SURELY AS THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH, NOT ONE OF THE MEN WHO SAW MY GLORY AND THE MIRACULOUS SIGNS I PERFORMED IN EGYPT AND IN THE DESERT BUT WHO DISOBEYED ME AND TESTED ME TEN TIMES---NOT ONE OF THEM WILL EVER SEE THE LAND I PROMISED ON OATH TO THEIR FOREFATHERS. NO ONE WHO HAS TREATED ME WITH CONTEMPT WILL EVER SEE IT. BUT BECAUSE MY SERVANT CALEB HAS A DIFFERENT SPIRIT AND FOLLOWS ME WHOLEHEARTEDLY, I WILL BRING HIM INTO THE LAND HE WENT TO, AND HIS DESCENDANTS WILL INHERIT IT.
NUMBERS 14:20-24

IN THOSE DAYS HEZEKIAH BECAME ILL AND WAS AT THE POINT OF DEATH. THE PROPHET ISAIAH SON OF AMOZ WENT TO HIM AND SAID, ‘’THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS: PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER, BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO DIE; YOU WILL NOT RECOVER.’’ HEZEKIAH TURNED HIS FACE TO THE WALL AND PRAYED TO THE LORD, ‘’REMEMBER, O LORD, HOW I HAVE WALKED BEFORE YOU FAITHFULLY AND WITH WHOLEHEARTED DEVOTION AND HAVE DONE WHAT IS GOOD IN YOUR EYES.’’ AND HEZEKIAH WEPT BITTERLY. BEFORE ISAIAH HAD LEFT THE MIDDLE COURT, THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO HIM: ‘’GO BACK AND TELL HEZEKIAH, THE LEADER OF MY PEOPLE, ‘THIS IS WHAT THE LORD, THE GOD OF YOUR FATHER DAVID, SAYS: I HAVE HEARD YOUR PRAYER AND SEEN YOUR TEARS: I WILL HEAL YOU. ON THE THIRD DAY FROM NOW YOU WILL GO UP TO THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD. I WILL ADD FIFTEEN YEARS TO YOUR LIFE. AND I WILL DELIVER YOU AND THIS CITY FROM THE HAND OF THE KING OF ASSYRIA. I WILL DEFEND THIS CITY FOR THE SAKE OF MY SERVANT DAVID.’’
2 KINGS 20:1-6

‘’SO NOW I CHARGE YOU IN THE SIGHT OF ALL ISRAEL AND OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE LORD, AND IN THE HEARING OF OUR GOD: BE CAREFULTO FOLLOW ALL THE COMMANDS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, THAT YOU MAY POSSESS THIS GOOD LAND AND PASS IT ON AS AN INHERITANCE TO YOUR DESCENDANTS FOREVER. ‘’AND YOU, MY SON SOLOMON, ACKNOWLEDGE THE GOD OF YOUR FATHER, AND SERVE HIM WITH WHOLEHEARTED DEVOTION AND WITH A WILLING MIND, FOR THE LORD SEARCHES EVERY HEART AND UNDERSTANDS EVERY MOTIVE BEHIND THE THOUGHTS. IF YOU SEEK HIM, HE WILL BE FOUND BY YOU: BUT IF YOU FORSAKE HIM, HE WILL REJECT YOU FOREVER.
1 CHRONICLES 28:8-9
YOU WANT SOMETHING BUT DON’T GET IT. YOU KILL AND COVET, BUT YOU CANNOT HAVE WHAT YOU WANT. YOU QUARREL AND FIGHT. YOU DO NOT HAVE, BECAUSE YOU DO NOT ASK GOD. WHEN YOU ASK, YOU DO NOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE YOU ASK WITH WRONG MOTIVES, THAT YOU MAY SPEND WHAT YOU GET ON YOUR PLEASURES.
JAMES 4:2-4

SLAVES, OBEY YOUR EARTHLY MASTERS WITH RESPECT AND FEAR, AND WITH SINCERITY OF HEART, JUST AS YOU WOULD OBEY CHRIST. OBEY THEM NOT ONLY TO WIN THEIR FAVOR WHEN THEIR EYE IS ON YOU, BUT LIKE SLAVES OF CHRIST, DOING THE WILL OF GOD FROM YOUR HEART. SERVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY, AS IF YOU WERE SERVING THE LORD, NOT MEN, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE LORD WILL REWARD EVERYONE FOR WHATEVER GOOD HE DOES, WHETHER HE IS SLAVE OR FREE. AND MASTERS, TREAT YOUR SLAVES IN THE SAME WAY. DO NOT THREATEN THEM, SINCE YOU KNOW THAT HE WHO IS BOTH THEIR MASTER AND YOURS IS IN HEAVEN, AND THERE IS NO FAVORITISM WITH HIM.
EPHESIANS 6:5-9

BUT THANKS BE TO GOD THAT, THOUGH YOU USED TO BE SLAVES TO SIN, YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY OBEYED THE FORM OF TEACHING TO WHICH YOU WERE ENTRUSTED. YOU HAVE BEEN SET FREE FROM SIN AND HAVE BECOME SLAVES TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.
ROMANS 6:17-18

YOUR ATTITUDE SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THAT OF CHRIST JESUS: WHO, BEING IN VERY NATURE GOD, DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH GOD SOMETHING TO BE GRASPED, BUT MADE HIMSELF NOTHING, TAKING THE VERY NATURE OF A SERVANT, BEING MADE IN HUMAN LIKENESS. AND BEING FOUND IN APPEARANCE AS A MAN, HE HUMBLED HIMSELF AND BECAME OBEDIENT TO DEATH---EVEN DEATH ON A CROSS! THEREFORE GOD EXALTED HIM TO THE HIGHEST PLACE AND GAVE HIM THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME, THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH, AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.
PHILIPPIANS 2:5-11

YOU MUST NOTICE THAT THE BIBLE DID NOT SAY; WHO BEING IN THE VERY NATURE OF GOD; BUT IT IS WRITTEN; (BEING IN VERY NATURE GOD)

FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD RANGE THROUGHOUT THE EARTH TO STRENGTHEN THOSE WHOSE HEARTS ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO HIM.
2 CHRONICLES 16:9

COMMIT TO THE LORD WHATEVER YOU DO, AND YOUR PLANS WILL SUCCEED. THE LORD WORKS OUT EVERYTHING FOR HIS OWN ENDS--- EVEN THE WICKED FOR A DAY OF DISASTER.
PROVERBS 16:3-4

TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD; DWELL IN THE LAND AND ENJOY SAFE PASTURE.DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART. COMMIT YOUR WAY TO THE LORD; TRUST IN HIM AND HE WILL DO THIS: HE WILL MAKE YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS SHINE LIKE THE DAWN, THE JUSTICE OF YOUR CAUSE LIKE THE NOONDAY SUN. BE STILL BEFORE THE LORD AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM; DO NOT FRET WHEN MEN SUCCEED IN THEIR WAYS, WHEN THEY CARRY OUT THEIR WICKED SCHEMES.
PSALM 37:3-7

TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO THE LORD THIS DAY: GOD HAS A WORD JUST FOR YOU: A COMMITTED PROMISE; IT’S WRITTEN!

SO THEN, MEN OUGHT TO REGARD US AS SERVANTS OF CHRIST AND THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH THE SECRET THINGS OF GOD. NOW IT IS REQUIRED THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TRUST MUST PROVE FAITHFUL.
1 CORINTHIANS 4:1

FOR THE WORD OF THE LORD IS RIGHT AND TRUE; HE IS FAITHFUL IN ALL HE DOES.
PSALM 33:4

MANY A MAN CLAIMS TO HAVE UNFAILING LOVE, BUT A FAITHFUL MAN WHO CAN FIND?
PROVERBS 20:6

‘’WHO THEN IS THE FAITHFUL AND WISE SERVANT, WHOM THE MASTER HAS PUT IN CHARGE OF THE SERVANTS IN HIS HOUSEHOLD TO GIVE THEM THEIR FOOD AT THE PROPER TIME IN 2009. IT WILL BE GOOD FOR THAT SERVANT WHOSE MASTER FINDS HIM DOING SO WHEN HE RETURNS IN 2009. I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, HE WILL PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF ALL HIS POSSESSIONS.
MATTHEW 24:45

‘’HIS MASTER REPLIED, ‘WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT! YOU HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL WITH A FEW THINGS; I WILL PUT YOU IN CHARGE OF MANY THINGS IN 2009. COME AND SHARE YOUR MASTER’S HAPPINESS!’
MATTHEW 25:23

A FAITHFUL MAN WILL BE RICHLY BLESSED, BUT ONE EAGER TO GET RICH WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED.
PROVERBS 28:20

I WILL INSTRUCT YOU AND TEACH YOU IN THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO; I WILL COUNSEL YOU AND WATCH OVER YOU.
PSALM 32:8

BLESSED IS THE NATION WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD, THE PEOPLE HE CHOSE FOR HIS INHERITANCE. FROM HEAVEN THE LORD LOOKS DOWN AND SEES ALL MANKIND; FROM HIS DWELLING PLACE HE WATCHES ALL WHO LIVE ON EARTH---HE WHO FORMS THE HEARTS OF ALL, WHO CONSIDERS EVERYTHING THEY DO.
PSALM 33:12-15

TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD; BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TAKES REFUGE IN HIM. FEAR THE LORD, YOU HIS SAINTS, FOR THOSE WHO FEAR HIM LACK NOTHING. THE LIONS MAY GROW WEAK AND HUNGRY, BUT THOSE WHO SEEK THE LORD LACK NO GOOD THING.
PSALM 34:8-10

THE RIGHTEOUS CRY OUT, AND THE LORD HEARS THEM; HE DELIVERS THEM FROM ALL THEIR TROUBLES. THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED AND SAVES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT.
A RIGHTEOUS MAN MAY HAVE MANY TROUBLES, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM FROM THEM ALL; HE PROTECTS ALL HIS BONES, NOT ONE OF THEM WLL BE BROKEN. EVIL WILL SLAY THE WICKED; THE FOES OF THE RIGHTEOUS WILL BE CONDEMNED. THE LORD REDEEMS HIS SERVANTS; NO ONE WILL BE CONDEMNED WHO TAKES REFUGE IN HIM.
PSALM 34:17-22

DEAR FRIENDS, DO NOT BE SURPRISE AT THE PAINFUL TRIAL YOU ARE SUFFERING, AS THOUGH SOMETHING STRANGE WERE HAPPENING TO YOU. BUT REJOICE THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST, SO THAT YOU MAY BE OVERJOYED WHEN HIS GLORY IS REVEALED. IF YOU ARE INSULTED BECAUSE OF THE NAME OF CHRIST, YOU ARE BLESSED, FOR THE SPIRIT OF GLORY AND OF GOD RESTS ON YOU. IF YOU SUFFER, IT SHOULD NOT BE AS A MURDERER OR THIEF OR ANY OTHER KIND OF CRIMINAL, OR EVEN A MEDDLER. HOWEVER, IF YOU SUFFER AS A CHRISTIAN, DO NOT BE ASHAMED, BUT PRAISE GOD THAT YOU BEAR THAT NAME. FOR IT IS TIME FOR JUDGMENT TO BEGIN WITH THE FAMILY OF GOD; AND IF IT BEGINS WITH US, WHAT WILL THE OUTCOME BE FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL OF GOD? AND , ‘’IF IT IS HARD FOR THE RIGHTEOUS TO BE SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER?’’ SO THEN, THOSE WHO SUFFER ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL SHOULD COMMIT THEMSELVES TO THEIR FAITHFUL CREATOR AND CONTINUE TO DO GOOD.
1 PETER 4:12-19

THEREFORE, SINCE CHRIST SUFFERED IN HIS BODY, ARM YOURSELVES ALSO WITH THE SAME ATTITUDE, BECAUSE HE WHO HAS SUFFERED IN HIS BODY IS DONE WITH SIN. AS A RESULT, HE DOES NOT LIVE THE REST OF HIS EARTHLY LIFE FOR EVIL HUMAN DESIRES, BUT RATHER FOR THE WILL OF GOD. FOR YOU HAVE SPENT ENOUGH TIME IN THE PAST DOING WHAT PAGANS CHOOSE TO DO---LIVING IN DEBAUCHERY, LUST, DRUNKENNESS, ORGIES, CAROUSING AND DETESTABLE IDOLATRY. THEY THINK IT STRANGE THAT YOU DO NOT PLUNGE WITH THEM INTO THE SAME FLOOD OF DISSIPATION, AND THEY HEAP ABUSE ON YOU. BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO GIVE ACCOUNT TO HIM WHO IS READY TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. FOR THIS IS THE REASON THE GOSPEL WAS PREACHED EVEN TO THOSE WHO ARE NOW DEAD, SO THAT THEY MIGHT BE JUDGED ACCORDING TO MEN IN REGARD TO THE BODY, BUT LIVE ACCORDING TO GOD IN REGARD TO THE SPIRIT. THE END OF ALL THINGS IS NEAR. THEREFORE BE CLEAR MINDED AND SELF-CONTROLLED SO THAT YOU CAN PRAY.
1 PETER 4:1-7

HUMBLE YOURSELVES, THEREFORE, UNDER GOD’S MIGHTY HAND, THAT HE MAY LIFT YOU UP IN DUE TIME. CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU. BE SELF-CONTROLLED AND ALERT, YOUR ENEMY THE DEVIL PROWLS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DEVOUR. RESIST HIM, STANDING FIRM IN THE FAITH, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BROTHERS THROUGOUT THE WORLD ARE UNDERGOING THE SAME KIND OF SUFFERINGS. AND THE GOD OF ALL GRACE, WHO CALLED YOU TO HIS ETERNAL GLORY IN CHRIST, AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE, WILL HIMSELF RESTORE YOU AND MAKE YOU STRONG, FIRM AND STEADFAST. TO HIM BE THE POWER FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN.
1 PETER 5:6-11
