There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that is committed to God that does not turn out well. This is why you must commit things into God’s hands and let Him take the lead in everything that you do. Ask Him for counsel before you make any move, and everything will go well.
My Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, exemplified committing things into God’s hands. He placed the church in God’s hands right from its outset. He did not just commit the church into God’s hands in prayers, he also did so in actions. He did exactly everything that God asked Him to do as regards the church, and in turn, God fulfilled His promises concerning the church. Many people think that The Redeemed Christian Church of God is what it is today because of me; that is not true. God already decided the destiny of the church long before I became born again. If I had refused to obey Him, He would have gotten someone else to become the General Overseer. Whatever is committed into God’s hands can never go wrong.
If you really want to be successful, place all your plans in the hands of God. Proverbs 3:5 says:
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Don’t depend on your degrees, skills, connections, or money; depend on God alone. Trust Him with all your heart, do everything according to His word, obey all His instructions, and you will see Him do great things for you. Make it clear to God that He is the owner of your career, business, ministry, and every other aspect of your life, and He will make sure that you have all-round success.
You must note, however, that when you commit something to God, you are agreeing to Him becoming your senior partner. This means that when He gives you instructions, you must obey. Some of these instructions may not make sense to you, and some may be very difficult for you to do, but if you don’t take the control back from Him, and if you submit to His leadership, you will enjoy greater success than you could ever have had all by yourself.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please take complete charge of all that concerns me from today, in Jesus’ name.
