Topic: The Tipping Point

Text: Romans 12:1

"Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God"

It has been observed that struggling businesses are often turned around by one key decision. Many once struggling companies are now thriving because of a choice that became the tipping point.

Though targeted to those in business management, the principles also applies to those who are committed to advancing the course of Christ. Sometimes we find ourselves up against a wall, struggling with a decision, or situation  that threatens to cripple our capacity for effective service to our King. It's at those critical junctures we can make a "tipping point" decision to turn things around.
What's the decision? Surrender your will and heart to God. James 4:7 says, "Submit to God". And Romans 12:1 tells us "Present your bodies a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God". Be willing to sacrifice your agenda for His greater purposes.
What if Noah had told God "I dont do boats". What if Joseph had not forgiven his brothers and failed to protect them from the life threatening famine? Or what if Jesus had refused to die on the cross?
Surrender is the tipping point. When we make that choice, God can use us to do great things for Him.
Surrender becomes victory when you yield to God completely.

PRAYER

Father take my life and make it wholly yours.
Fill my heart with your divine love
Take my will, my passion, self and pride. Let your presence abide in my life in Jesus name.
