Title: Victory Through Submission
Memorize: Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Psalms 37:4-5 (Nkjv)
[4] Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
[5] Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
Message:
Submitting to God is an important key to victory for every believer. Whenever some people quote today’s memory verse, they only emphasise on the latter part of it.
However, as we see in that Scripture, before a fellow can make the devil flee from him or her after resisting him, such a fellow needs to first submit to God.
When you submit to God and align yourself with His will, you will experience victory over the devil.
When you submit to God, you will obey His commands and follow His directions.
David, a man after God’s own heart, is a perfect example of someone who submitted to God’s will.
The Bible makes us understand that he grew great, and the Lord was with him (2 Samuel 5:10).
My dear child, if you are trusting God for a breakthrough in any area of your life, you must submit to His lordship.
When you submit to Him totally and obey His instructions, victory becomes certain.
Key Point:
Total submission to God brings victory.
HYMN: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER

All to Him I freely give;
I will ever low and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all.
I surrender all:
All to Thee,
My blessed Saviour
I surrender all
2: All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken.
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
3: All to Jesus I surrender.
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

Now I feel the sacred flame
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
