Surrender


          When Christ was on earth, He referred to God as His Father over and
          over. It was there that He found His identity and inheritance. His destiny
          and purpose. I urge you to look into this topic on God’s Fatherhood
          a little deeper for yourself , if you have not already, so that you may
                                   13
          sharpen your understanding. Pray into it as well, because I truly believe
          He is longing to reveal Himself to all of us in His fullness, and that we
          just have to reach out in sincerity.

          I believe that a surrendered life begins with you knowing, confessing,
          and believing this truth. Because many of us, even those who consider
          themselves Christians and do church “as usual” (read religion), are dis-
          connected from God because they do not know Him as their Daddy.
          No small wonder that the scriptures say that it matters very little in the
          end if you only call him “Lord” and if I might add, “Saviour” but do
          not strive to KNOW Him for yourself, which includes knowing Him as
          your Father.

          You Are A New Creation


          Words are everything. He says what He means and means what He says
          and guess what? Because He created you in His image, He expects the
          same of you. I believe that this is why He says that in order to begin any
          form of relationship with Him; you have to confess with your mouth
          and believe in your heart (My friend! That is the faith He says pleases
          Him because you are taking Him by His Word, which does not return
          to Him void).

          In March 2020, I was honoured to celebrate my friend with whom I
          have journeyed. I have seen her go through a very hurtful relationship
          that broke up just before the wedding, and she is now married to a man


          13     I recommend you explore material from Simon Mbevi, Andrew Wommack, Robert Hender-
          son and any other reputable teaching that the Holy Spirit will lead you to.
