“ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER, ALL TO HIM I FREELY GIVE”
“ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER, ALL TO HIM I FREELY GIVE; I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live. All to Jesus I SURRENDER, humbly at His feet I bow, Worldly pleasures all forsaken; Take me, Jesus, take me now. All to Jesus I SURRENDER, Lord, I give myself to Thee; Fill me with Thy love and power, Let Thy blessing fall on me.”
Have you ever wondered how Cancer develops in one’s body? Well it all starts 
when cells in a one part of the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in most parts of the body divide only to replace worn out or dying cells, but cancer cells continue to grow and divide.
They are different from normal cells; instead of dying, they outlive normal cells and continue to form new abnormal cells. Cancer cells develop because of damage to DNA. In cancer cells, the damaged DNA is not repaired.
Often, cancer cells travel to other parts of the body where they begin to grow and replace normal tissue. These cancer cells, if they are not entirely eradicated, will continue to multiply and will eventually kill.
My friends cancer and sin are much alike we must completely eradicate sin if we wish to live abundant lives in Christ. Romans 12:2 (ESV) tells us Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
Luke 9:23-24 (ESV) states. And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his 
cross daily and follow me….” But we will never be able to divorce our self from sin unless we recognize that the cancer exist in our life.
No matter how small the cancer or sin may be sin will eventually kill “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV) who is the great Physician.
In addition we must SURRENDER it all as we begin to allow the Spirit of God to completely transform our mind and body from the results of sin to the Character and life that we live through Christ whose personal blood gives us the transfusion that makes this all possible.
“When the heart (SURRENDERS) to the influence of the Spirit of God, the conscience will be quickened, and the sinner will discern something of the depth and sacredness of God’s holy law, the foundation of His government in heaven and on earth.
The “Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world,” illumines the secret chambers of the soul, and the hidden things of darkness are made manifest. John 1:9 (KJV) Conviction takes hold upon the mind and heart.
The sinner has a sense of the righteousness of Jehovah and feels the terror of appearing, in his own guilt and uncleanness, before the Searcher of hearts. He sees the love of God, the beauty of holiness, the joy of purity; he longs to be cleansed and to be restored to communion with Heaven. “(E. G. White Steps to Christ, p. 24.)
So friends surrender today “And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard..” Col. 1:22-23 (ESV)
As we SURRENDER, there also must be Repentance and Restoration which leads to the sinner entering into the Presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as we completely move in a new direction. Because up to this point you have not allowed God’s Spirit to completely cut out the cancer of this world that has distracted you from SURRENDERING it all to the Master, so the sin has just laid dormant.
So today I appeal to you therefore, “brothers, and sisters by the grace and mercies of God,” please, SURRENDER IT ALL TO HIM AS YOU PREPARE FOR LIFE ETERNAL.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
