Commitment

In today’s society the word Commitment is seen as the ultimate threat. This fear has filtered itself into the Church House and our Christian walk. The word Commitment by definition is: a promise, a pledge, a vow, loyalty, and dedication… Wow, when you think about you can see how the word Commitment is a threat to the humanistic society that the US has become. Humanism is being absorbed by secular concerns and self interest, Christianity is being sold out and totally dedicated to God and not self. See the conflict? The Bible teaches us to kill our selfish desires each day and to renew our Commitment to God and to Our Spiritual Calling. But it seems that today’s culture has taught us not to be too committed to anyone or anything, what’s wrong with us? I ask this; without Commitment what is our society becoming?

In the religious realm this lack of or fear of Commitment has really had its toll on the local church. Christians have developed this lazy attitude that “I’ll Commit to God, I’ll Commit to church as long as it’s on my terms.” Again, being a Christian is all about God and His Terms, not ours!!! If you want to see God move in a mighty way in your life you must first renew your Commitment to Him, then put to rest these Humanistic thoughts that has been leading you down the wrong path.

Ask yourself these questions:

1. Where is the place (Church, Ministry, etc…) that God has called me to?

2. Am I in the place that He has called me to?

3. What is My Commitment to God and the Ministry that He has placed me in?

4. How can I be less Committed to my human desires and more Committed to Gods will for my life?

5. How can I be more Committed to My Local Church, My Local pastor, and the folks in need who live in my community?

As you answer these questions, begin to renew your Commitment to God, Renew your Commitment to Your Local Church / Pastor, and you’ll see your walk with God soar to levels that you can only dream today. Remember, Greater Days are ahead!

Love Ya ALL
