Poem
One time I asked myself what's so hard about being a child of Christ? is it because I have to fight against the devil everyday of my life? is it because I'm now saved and living sanctified? or is it because I refused to sell out and I'm now rectified? the hardest thing about being in Christ I would profess is that after the first time, God requires another yes when you say yes to God it's not a one time event for it's only by His grace that you are even in His presence to be a child of Christ you need to advance by little steps and say yes to all He asks of you, if you desire to be His earthly rep in the process of time God will tell you to have no fear for when your well runs dry He will make water appear for God won't let you thirst nor let you starve and die He will always provide for on His word you can rely when Elijah asked that widowed woman for some water to drink she said yes, that's no problem, what did you really think? but when he next asked for a little bit of bread she said I only have enough for one last meal and then I will be dead as a prophet of the Lord, Elijah wanted another yes to see if she would commit to God and trust in Him to do no less her first yes was only a very convenient gesture but her second yes would have been a show of her true measure sacrificial commitment and unselfish attitudes are some of the things God requires of you step out of your comfort zone and sacrifice for the heavenly throne many people tend to treat God like a tire that's a spare kept in the trunk until we need it there and when that tire gets us to our final destination we remove that spare and put it back in hibernation but God has a plan and He's not just a convenient device He's the master of our fate and Controller of our lives you don't really own anything for all you see belongs to God always give Him another yes and give it from the heart so when that widowed woman did as the Prophet Elijah did say God then provided her with food for many, many days Yes Lord, Yes Lord say it as often as you can Yes Lord, Yes Lord I put my fate in Your righteous hands Yes Lord, Yes Lord for You I can do no less Yes Lord, Yes Lord, ALWAYS ANOTHER YES
