Daily Cry by adefajosekayo(m): 9:27am On May 21, 2020
<b>DAILY CRY<b/>


John 3:27, a man can receive nothing except it is given to him by God. Many today are confused by the way salvation come, is it a thing you struggle before you get? No salvation is not. Only God saves you cannot do the work of your own salvation.

Many will think that it takes their own work for God to use them. It will not be by your own doing that his mercy will be over you. You cannot buy his mercy with any amount, neither can you buy his gift Act 8:18, many think the holy spirit comes by going to church. Romans 11:29, the gift and calling of God is without repentance, but the Holy spirit is holy and does not dwell in unholy place. If luckily you receive the gift without repentance, to sustain the gift, you need the Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit does not come without Repentance.

All you need to do for salvation is 'Surrender' you cannot be saved by struggling (Not by struggling to brake out). Mathew 16:13-20, it was'nt Peter by himself who receive who Jesus is but the spirit of God, and it is the result of surrendering all, Mathew 4:17-19. Neither is it Paul who worked for the Holy spirit, all he did was surrender (He could have proven stuborn and contend with Christ on his way to Damascus) Act 9, Paul surrrendered and called Jesus Lord.

Solomon could have think about rulling with his own wisdom and say to himself: i will be careful of my judgement, but he surrendered to God, knowing that only him gives wisdom, 1 King 3:1-15. Shedrach, Medrach an Abedalingo could have been frightened, when they heard that they will be thrown into fire, but because they have surrendered to God, Daniel 3:17.

When you surrender to God his fear naturrally comes, Proverbs 9:10. Jesus could have considered the offer of Potiphar's wife, but because He had surrendered to God and he is ready to do his will alone (You will surely do the will of who you surrender to) he said, Genesis 39:9. Abraham surrendered to God that even at old age he still beleived in God's promise to give him a child.

Martha choosed the right part to surrender at Jesus feet, when Mary was still strugling, Luke 10:42. In One of Pastor Benny Hinn message, he said 'work of salvation! you cannot do it, just surrender to him and he will do the doing'

I cry, surrendering to God is the key to peace and to be taken over by Him. You cannot be saved when you still struggle on your own. When you still battle with sin you cannot be saved, Only if you will surrender.
SURRENDER
