"Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to completely finish His work". John 4:34 AMP
The middle of a race is no time to stop running and evaluate where you stand; evaluation starts based on your commitment from the beginning. Commitment is a state of being dedicated or devoted to a course. Commitment is following Jesus. Before a man can commit himself to anything, he has to be committed to God first. A man that has not given himself to God cannot be a blessing to others. "Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ ".
Knowing God's Will through commitment to His Word and cultivating faithful relationship with Him guarantees a rewarding and productive life. Paul, during his ministry was so committed to Christ that he was jailed, beaten, starved, stoned, ridiculed, run out of town, and eventually killed just like our Lord Jesus Christ. Commitment is a self sacrifice, It is taking responsibility in spite of negative circumstances or difficulties. It is deciding not to look or depend on your abilities but on God's Ability and Strength.
When you are committed to God, He will also be committed to you. He will increase your ability and create avenues for your promotion in every area of your life. Sickness cannot come close to your body and nothing will ever be impossible for you to do. Be committed to the Source.
