What's this Lordship thing?

A new Christian may think the future will be  wonderful, but then they run into this "Lordship" thing.

God has a call on every believer's life, not just the preacher, and all should be in His Word, studying to be fit for the kingdom of God. That's our training ground Monday through Saturday. 

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

We need to give God permission to be Lord of our lives. If we don't, we are operating in our own wisdom. We need to get out of the driver's seat and give Jesus the keys. He is capable. Partial surrender is no surrender.

What do you lose when you totally surrender to God, and what do you gain? We lose everything and gain everything. That's a good deal.

Why don't we give Him permission to be Lord of our life? We have to get rid of our pride, but we are getting something back we can be proud of: His righteousness.

Is He truly your Lord or do you just call Him that? Have you given His Lordship permission?
