Matthew 22:21
“And He said to them, ‘Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ ”
I will not keep sin and evil in my bosom. I will not embrace worldliness and political correctness. I will not dance to the songs played by the world system. I will not keep what belongs to Caesar. All the dirty, evil and compromising ways of this world will never be my delight. I am not of Caesar, and therefore, anything that is of Caesar should go to Caesar. I will only use the goods of this world if they do not war against my passion to give to God what belongs to God.
My body, my spirit, my soul, my entire being, belongs to God, and I must wholly give to God all that is called mine. They are not really mine. Even my very thoughts belong to Him, and I must live in the constant consciousness that everything I think is mine is really from God and must be released back to Him in voluntary submission. I am not Caesar’s. I am God’s. And to God, I joyfully flee and rest.
“I am Yours, O God and in happy surrender, I release all of me to You. I am not of this world and although I am in this world, may Your Holy Spirit constantly remind me that I don’t belong to Caesar. This I ask in Jesus name. Amen”
