LOVE WORTH FINDING 14 AUGUST 2024 WEDNESDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: Are You Fully Surrendered?
“‘Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.’ And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.” – Acts 4:29-31
PONDER THIS
Every now and then, I’ll come behind a car and it’ll have a bumper sticker that says, “God is my copilot.” Some people treat God like a business partner, but He’s not—He is Lord. Many times, we want to use God, but God’s not going to be used. You want God to answer your prayers? Then submit yourself to Him completely as Lord.

These people were committed to Him. They wanted God to give them power to express His Word. They prayed, “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word” (Acts 4:29). Is that the desire of your heart, to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to obey the Great Commission?
It was the expression of God’s Word that got them in trouble to begin with. They didn’t ask, “Lord, move us to more favorable circumstances.” They didn’t say, “Lord, keep us safe.” They prayed, “Lord, give us more of what got us into trouble in the first place. Lord, we’re in trouble for preaching Your Word. Now, give us boldness to preach it some more. We want to proclaim Your Word.”
- What is the difference between Jesus being Lord and being a business partner?
- How have you submitted and committed your ways to the Lord? What has changed? What needs to change for you?
PRACTICE THIS
Pray with other Christians, asking God to use you to spread the Gospel.
