Listen "Fully Yielded to God"
Episode Synopsis
In our distraction-filled world where multitasking has become the norm, this message challenges us to consider what it means to be fully devoted to God. Drawing from the remarkable life of Samuel in 1 Samuel chapters 2-8, we discover that God can use anyone who is completely yielded to Him. Samuel's story begins even before his birth, with his mother Hannah's fervent prayers and her decision to dedicate her son entirely to the Lord's service. From age three, Samuel wore priestly garments and learned to hear God's voice, responding with those powerful words: 'Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.' What makes Samuel's life so compelling is his unwavering faithfulness across every season—from childhood through old age, he remained steadfast in truth-telling, even when it was difficult. He gained the blessing of spiritual discernment, learning to apply godly wisdom to complex situations. The Ebenezer stone he erected declared 'Thus far the Lord has helped us,' reminding us that God's faithfulness extends through all our life stages. In an age where truth itself is debated and relative, we desperately need to raise up a generation of Samuels—truth seekers and truth tellers who won't waver regardless of cultural pressures. The question confronting us is profound: Are we giving God our full attention, or are we offering Him only our leftovers while we juggle countless distractions? God doesn't want a divided heart; He calls us to complete surrender, knowing that the most fulfilled life is found in the center of His will.
