Glory of GOD; everything else is wasted time and wasted energy.
Beloved, we can reach it; it is a high mark but we can get to it.
You ask how? "What wilt thou have me to do?"
That is the plan. It means a perfect surrender to the call of GOD, and perfect obedience.
A dear young Russian came to England. He did not know the
language, but learned it quickly and was very much used and
blessed of GOD;
But they pressed him so much he finally said to them: "First GOD called me, and His presence was so precious, that I said to GOD at every call I would obey Him, and I yielded, and yielded, and yielded, until I realized that I was simply clothed with another power altogether...
And I realized that GOD took me, tongue, thoughts and everything, and I was not myself but it was Christ working through me.
How many of you today have known that GOD has called you over and over, and has put His hand upon you, but you have not yielded?
How many of you have had the breathing of His power within you, calling you to prayer, and you have to confess you have failed?
If GOD can have His way today, the ministry of somebody will
begin; it always begins as soon as you yield.
Paul had been bringing many people to prison, but GOD brought Paul to such a place of yieldedness and brokenness that he cried out, "What wilt thou have me to do?" (Acts 9:6).
Paul´s choice was to be a bondservant for Jesus Christ.
Beloved, are you willing that GOD shall have His way today?
GOD said, "I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name´s sake" (Acts 9:16).
But Paul saw that these things were working out a far more exceeding weight of glory.
You people who have come for a touch from GOD, are you willing to follow Him; will you obey Him?
What Wilt Thou Have Me Do?
