The message of absolute surrender is a daily decision we are called to make. It is always timely and never goes out of season. From the beginning, to the present, and into the days ahead, Godโs call to wholehearted surrender remains the same. We are deeply privileged to receive this exhortation from our National Director Kuya Boni during a special session at LEAPS2025. And this Christmas, may we respond by offering not just our celebrations, but our livesโfully surrendered to Christ, the greatest gift of all.
Drawing from his personal testimonyโfrom his early years to a life wholly devoted to disciple-makingโKuya Boni reminded us that true discipleship begins and is sustained by a life fully yielded to Christ. In his message, โAbsolute Surrender,โ he pointed us to the supreme example of our Lord Jesus Christ, who declared, โI love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded meโ (John 14:31, NIV). He also echoed the exhortation of the Apostle Paul, reminding us that our relationship with Christ is grounded in obedience that flows from faith, not in reliance on the works of the law. A surrendered life, therefore, is not marked merely by outward activity, but by inward obedienceโfaith expressed through wholehearted submission to Christ.
From this message, Kuya Boni challenged us to embrace a life of absolute surrender expressed in the following ways:
1. Living as Sanctified Saints. In Christ, we are sanctified. We are called to live in the world as Saints-holy and separated from the lusts and worldliness of men.
2. Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus. We are to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. We must listen carefully to those who teach Godโs Word and diligently examine the Scriptures to discern and confirm the truth.
3. Proclaiming the Gospel by Godโs Power. We are called to preach the Gospel to as many people as possible and, by all possible means, to save some. Despite our weaknesses, our competence comes from God, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
As we review and reflect on Kuya Boniโs LEAPS2025 message this Christmas season, may our hearts be stirred to respond with absolute surrender to Christ. As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, let us remember that true discipleship begins with humble obedience and faithโtrusting God to work through our lives so others may encounter His Kingdom. Gloria in excelsis Deo!
