"Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee; she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace; a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee" -Proverbs 4:7-9.
There is a wisdom you will operate that will render the devil important in your life; wisdom that makes your case different. It makes Jehovah God to come behind you. When you key into this wisdom you will pray less, because it makes God to be totally committed to your life and the devil is totally caged. In whatever you do, endeavor to commit God. The wisdom to an endless beauty is to commit God into your life; David knew the secret of committing God, and that is why he lost no battle in scripture, even though he the fought most number of battles. You can be a Christian and yet don't commit him to work in your life if you lack wisdom. Solomon had the wisdom for committing God in his kingdom, unlike David his father, he had no cause to fight any war; it was peace all through his rule. Some men may move God, but only few commit him.
What Does It Mean To Commit God?
God's word to David in Psalm 89:20-37 is a proof that David committed God. In verse 20-21, he says,
"I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him; with whom my hand shall be established; mine arm also shall strengthened him. The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him... My faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him...".
What a great commitment. There is a place you will touch in God's heart that makes him to be committed to you this way. When God is committed, all struggles are terminated, all burdens and yokes are broken, all delays and stagnation are dealt with. Solomon got God committed to the point that even the enemies of his father could not trouble him.
How Do You Get God Committed To Your Life?
Your active love for God and his kingdom gets him committed. There is a difference between moving God and committing him. When you commit him, his abiding presence comes to be with you. Your active love for him commits him. See what your love is in 1 Corinthians 13.
Love is called a more excellent way; excellent because he gives you an excellent life, 1 Corinthians 12:31. God desires an excellent life for you in spite of your challenges, but you'll experience this when you commit him. God defended Abraham when the enemy wanted to take over his wife, because he is committed to him. Psalm 132:1-5, David by love committed God, swearing his affection even in affliction.
"LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions; How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids, until I find out a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob".
How Do I Prove That I Love God, So He Can Be More Committed To Me?
Your prayer does not show you love God, it is only a proof that you have needs he can meet. You obedience to the reason Jesus died (savings souls) shows that you love him. The moment you are not concerned about preaching the gospel and winning souls, you don't love him. Soul winners are the true lovers. He died for souls, and so long as you don't get involved in saving those souls through witnessing, and showing love and kindness to them, that will bring them to Christ, you don't love him. There are many hypocrites in the church today singing, "I love you" but will not obeying the great commission - saving souls. Many people in the Church are 'hunters', they're only hunting for their needs, such people, even the offering they give is not in love, but only because of what they expect to receive back from God. Many would rather do other activities for God such as ushering, sanctuary keeping etc, than winning souls, but the central core of service to God is soul winning. It is one of the greatest reason that will make God to be committed to you. Love commits him, you don't get committed to God just by prayers only, but by showing it to him in love. Paul says "Woe unto me, if I do not preach the gospel", no wonder God was committed to him. Soul winners are God's lovers. It is dangerous to hate God's lovers because God is solidly behind them.
Benefits of Soul Winning.
When you become a soul winner:
1. You become God's candidate for beauty. If you don't have time for things that matters to God, God will not have time for the things that matter to you
2. He makes your feet beautiful, Isaiah 52:7, he orders your steps to be favored so that your needs are met, in order for you to have time to win more souls.
3. He makes you fruitful.
4. He purges you to bear more fruits John 15:1-3
5. He gives you the promise of answered prayer, John 14:14.
6. He pays you wages John 4:35-36, many Christians have been missing this wages. When God wants to say thank you for anything you do for him, he blesses you.
7. He gives you more wisdom, Daniel 12:3,
"He that wins souls is wise".
Proverbs 11:30. As you make this decision to be a soul winner, God will be committed to your life. It may take something from you, but it will bring greater things in your life. Remember, the wisdom for your beautification is in the love of God demonstrated by soul winning.
Shalom
