Here I am
God Takes Our Yes Seriously
I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart.” ( Psalm 40:8 KJV)
Many years ago, I attended a meeting where it was announced that there was a need for more home cells in the area where I lived. The officiating pastor made an impromptu call for volunteers. Without thinking much, I jumped to my feet and committed my house to be used as a home cell. When I sat back, I had a rethink about my actions, but then I concluded.
“No one knows me here, No one will chase me if I don’t eventually fulfill my promise, since I did not leave a contact detail”
Two years later, my home cell leader, who was also the host of the fellowship I attended reached out to me that she would be relocating, and the lord laid it on her heart to move the fellowship to my home. I recall instantly my commitment to God earlier and honored it. I was not only the host of the cell group, but I also became the cell leader of one of the biggest cells in that area.
I learned from this experience that God takes us seriously when we commit to him or his kingdom. It is therefore important to have this in mind before we make our pledges.
Do you currently have an unfulfilled promise you made to God? What would it cost you to redeem today?
Pray: Heavenly Father, I am sorry for not fulfilling my part of the promises I have made to you. Help me lord to be truly committed to you today and always. Amen
