More Than Anything – Phil. 2:9-13 – Fully Submitted

This is “Namma for Christ” with the one hundred fifty-ninth inspirational message dated Wednesday, February 12th, 2020.  The title of this message is, "More Than Anything – Phil. 2:9-13 – Fully Submitted”.  I first heard this song in my church and I loved it – so I decided to share this song with this uplifting and inspirational “In Touch - Daily Devotional” message as written by Dr. Charles Stanley.

The first three words of the title are also the title of the above anointed song/video “More Than Anything” (with lyrics) by Anita Wilson. The message’s scripture is below as found in the New Testament’s book of Philippians:

Philippians 2:9-13

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁹ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹² Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; ¹³ for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
  

“Fully Submitted”

The Bible tells us that though Jesus was “in very nature God” (Phil. 2:6 NIV), He left heaven to come to earth, where He lived in submission to His Father’s plans. Giving the Father complete control over everything He did, the Son held nothing back—not even His life, which He sacrificed on the cross for our sake.

Why did Jesus do this? Because He had perfect trust in His Father—He knew that God has sovereign control over everything and that all His decisions are good, as they are based on divine love, mercy, and justice. He was also certain that God always takes into account what is best for us, and His will is to lead His children towards repentance and growth. Jesus obeyed to bring glory to the Father’s name (John 17:4).

John 17:4

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁴ I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.

 

We are to live the same way—surrendered to God’s will. This means acknowledging that He has the right to order our life, and we are to give Him control over every aspect, including finances, family, friends, and fun.

By submitting to God, we declare our trust in Him and our willingness to accept whatever He sends us—riches or poverty, health or sickness, marriage or singleness. Full submission is how we glorify the Father, grow in Him, and receive His favor.
