Watchman Nee wrote in his book The Normal Christian Life:

“A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion when we give up all rights to o

urselves and submit to the absolute lordship of Jesus Christ.

There must be a day when without reservation, we surrender everything to him- ourselves, our families, our possessions our business, and our time.

All we ar

e and have becomes his, to be held henceforth entirely at his disposal.

Fro

m that day we are no longer our own masters, but only stewards.

Not until the lordship of Jesus Christ is settled things in our hearts can the Holy Spirit r

eally operate effectively in us.

He cannot direct our lives effectively until all control of them is committed to him.

If we do not give h

im absolute authority in our lives, he can be present, but

he cannot be powerful. The power of the Spirit is stayed.”
