Earlier today I
was reading a post on social media and a woman was sharing how she was taking a
ride with her children and she decided to listen to a sermon. And at the end of
the sermon, her daughter decided to give her life to Christ. After the girl had
given her life to Christ, she turned to her younger brother and ask him; ‘I
have given my life to Christ, what are you giving to Jesus?’
The lady was
struck by the question and it really got her thinking as it did me. What am I
giving Jesus? I took out some time to answer that question for myself and my
thoughts around it were quite informative and instructive.
What are you
giving Jesus?
Some people are
giving Jesus 1hr 30mins on Sundays and 1hr on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday
depending on which day of the week your local assembly meets and service dares
not exceed that 2hr mark.
Some people give
Jesus 30secs when they wake up, 5secs before a meal and 3secs just before they
go to bed.
Some people are
giving Jesus a shopping list in the form of prayer points with conditions and
timelines for delivery as if they are the boss to my Lord.
Some others are
giving Him their wish list hoping that someone will miraculously “dash” them
one or all the items on their wish list when they have not paid any attention
to the leading of the Holy Spirit in their hearts.
Some claim to
have given their lives to Chris but in the actual sense, there is a sharing
formula involved. On some days Christ has their lives and some other days they
take it back from Him.
So I pose the
question to you, if you claim to have given your life to Christ, what exactly
did you give Him? Did you give Him all of your life or some of it?
Selah!!!
