A LIFE OF ENDLESS YES’S.

A couple of months ago, I celebrated my salvation birthday and my heart was leaping with joy as I thought back to the day I truly started living, the day God drew me to Himself. The day He set me up for a life of endless fulfillment and satisfaction in Him. The day I walked forward to the altar and made a public confession to renounce my past and invite the King of Kings as Lord over my life.

I wish there was a heart scan, not the kind that tests the health condition like the ones at the hospital, but the kind of scan that can allow you to see my heart so you could visualize the intensity of my joy.

Unlike our birthdays that end after the cake is cut, this is a day that doesn’t have to wait a year to be celebrated because every day we walk uprightly with God is a day closer to eternity that must be acknowledged and celebrated. Yet I have observed that birthdays and anniversaries are often at the forefront of our minds and even without much emphasis, we find ourselves celebrating. We don’t need to set alarms for these occasions. But many of us can barely remember our salvation birthdays.

On the 4th of June, I recall saying yes to Jesus as Lord and Savior of my life and yet the truth is that every day with Jesus is a day of YES. As I reflected in gratitude this year, I felt God nudging me to the realization of what I signed up for; a life of endless yes’s

I am thankful for the hunger that I have had over the years. It is my daily prayer to always have God occupy me and all spaces in my life! Every day I WANT MORE !!!!!! As is obvious, every day is a war against the flesh, and with His help, I have fought and I still testify that my life is best with Him in it.

QUICK RESPONSE

Immediately, is one of the references that I find useful when it comes to saying yes. I am learning that God needs our yes immediately; not when we have tried all else and failed. To walk with God is to involve Him in everything and to always wait on Him. Saying yes to God moment by moment takes dying to self and discarding the opinions of others and our own; no matter how justified we feel.

In the Bible, we see many people who said yes; Abraham, Noah, Moses, Gideon, Joseph, Esther, and many more. While their YES was associated with great, visible, and significant assignments, it does not nullify the opportunities to say yes that are seen even in the mundane.

Great things, important things, always begin with someone saying yes to God, and then moving along one yes at a time

Weaver

Samuel models a posture that is critical for those who desire to say YES each waking day.  “Speak Lord, for your servant hears. (1 Samuel 3:10) We must tune our ears to the heavenly frequency; close to the throne, so we can always be listening in to the whispers He sends. We can only do this with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells with us and in us (John 14:17). We must learn to submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit on a day-to-day basis. (1 Thessalonians 5:19). In a Christian’s life, the Holy Spirit is AIR. We will become spiritually dead if we do not lean into His guidance.

Our attentiveness to His voice determines how and when we respond

Saying YES to God can be uncomfortable, difficult, and unpopular, and yet it remains to be the best way to live. It is rewarding and life-changing. May you be found faithful and obedient to His voice. Keep Saying YES.
