Part 15 –
“Lord, I Give You ALL of me!”
This episode continues applying the holistic cross of self-denial to all areas of life that aren’t sinful per se. Christ Himself set the example: He didn’t use His abilities without submitting them over to the Father’s discretion. The God-man could easily have overwhelmed his hearers with His wit and mental acuity but chose on many occasions to refrain. Isaiah 42:3 says about Him “a broken reed He would not break nor a dimly burning wick He would not snuff out.” He didn’t break broken sinners but submitted all His talents and abilities over to the Father, to be used only at His discretion. Christ exemplified TOTAL submission to the Father and it had little to do with sin, for He was morally perfect and free from sin. So when believers subsequently identity with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection they ideally should present their whole selves as living sacrifices, to be used for His pleasure.

More About This Episode -

Victor elaborates on self-denial, particularly concerning one’s natural abilities and gifts. He references the Apostle Paul from 1 Corinthians, noting how Paul adapted to different audiences by becoming weak for the sake of the gospel. Victor emphasizes that self-denial involves asking God for guidance on how and when to utilize our talents to edify others, rather than seeking to assert our strengths.


He shares personal insights about times when he’s felt compelled to speak up, but was reminded by the Holy Spirit to refrain from doing so to avoid being a stumbling block. Victor stresses that it’s essential to stay sensitive to God’s guidance, as relying solely on our abilities can lead to missteps in faith.


Throughout the discussion, Victor cites Scripture, particularly from 2 Corinthians, where Paul expresses that he boasts in his weaknesses so that Christ’s power can be manifested. He underscores that God may allow weaknesses to prevent pride and to enhance effectiveness in ministry.


Victor analogizes Christ’s own example of self-denial, referring to Philippians 2, where Jesus, despite being divine, chose to become a servant. He reflects on how Christ did not use His power to overwhelm others but instead supported the weak and those struggling in faith.
