Complete Surrender to Jesus as Lord!

This is how my parable begins. Let me call him John. John had a double
story house, five plus five rooms. One
day there was a gentle knock on the
front door. When John opened it was
the Lord Jesus. “Please come in”, John
pleaded, “I will give you the best room
in my house – it is upstairs. Well,
Jesus is a gentleman and said “thank
you”.
The next morning someone
hammered against the front door.
When John opened it who was there?
The devil. “No” shouted John, “I don’t
want you here” But the devil said “I’m
already in” – and a big fight started.
Satan poured filthy temptation on
him, it was horrible. By the evening
John somehow got the victory and
threw the devil out. Then he said “wait
a minute”. I gave Jesus the best room
in the house, why didn’t he come to
my rescue?” Jesus said to John “Look,
you gave me one of the ten rooms…”
John was on his knees and said “I can
see my mistake. Sorry, Lord. Let’s
make 50/50.” Jesus is a gentleman
and accepted. The next day was a
repeat of the day before. Somehow
the devil got in and out and John was
totally exhausted. “Why didn’t Jesus
come to my rescue today? I need to
go and ask.” The Lord said “My son,
why don’t you give me all 10 rooms
and then, instead of me staying with
you, you stay with me?” John broke
down. He pulled the key of the front-
door from his pocket and handed it to
Jesus. Now, he had given it all.
The next morning, it was still dark,
when someone was knocking at the
front door so hard that the whole
building shook. John jumped
frightened and shaken out of bed
crying “O, it’s the devil again”, when
suddenly he heard footsteps – but
this time inside the house. Jesus was
marching in majesty and power
towards the front door. He had the
key. It now was His duty to answer the
door. John was wondering what
would happen and stood right behind
Jesus when the Lord opened the door
wide. Who was it? The devil of course.
But when the devil saw Jesus standing
in the door he bowed low, very low
indeed, and said “Sorry Sir, I knocked
on the wrong door!”
Some have given 9 rooms to Jesus
and on the door of room number 10
they have written “Strictly Private”. It is
there where they have their secret sins
and live their double life. But Jesus
cannot be cheated. C’mon. Let’s sing it
together from the bottom of our
hearts “Unto Jesus I surrender, unto
Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust in Him, His presence daily be...ooohh...I surrender ALL,
unto thee my God and Savior, I
surrender all.” This is my foolproof
recipe for victory! Does it speak to
you? Please let me know.
