Sacrifice and Friendship

I have called you friends…
JOHN 15:15
We will never know the joy of self-sacrifice until we surrender in every detail of our lives. Yet self-surrender is the most difficult thing for us to do. We make it conditional by saying, “I’ll surrender if…!” Or we approach it by saying, “I suppose I have to devote my life to God.” We will never find the joy of self-sacrifice in either of these ways.

But as soon as we do totally surrender, abandoning ourselves to Jesus, the Holy Spirit gives us a taste of His joy. The ultimate goal of self-sacrifice is to lay down our lives for our Friend (see John 15:13-14). When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives, our greatest desire is to lay down our lives for Jesus. Yet the thought of self-sacrifice never even crosses our minds, because sacrifice is the Holy Spirit’s ultimate expression of love.

Our Lord is our example of a life of self-sacrifice, and He perfectly exemplified Psalm 40:8, “I delight to do Your will, O my God….” He endured tremendous personal sacrifice, yet with overflowing joy. Have I ever yielded myself in absolute submission to Jesus Christ? If He is not the One to whom I am looking for direction and guidance, then there is no benefit in my sacrifice. But when my sacrifice is made with my eyes focused on Him, slowly but surely His molding influence becomes evident in my life (see Hebrews 12:1-2).

Beware of letting your natural desires hinder your walk in love before God. One of the cruelest ways to kill natural love is through the rejection that results from having built the love on natural desires. But the one true desire of a saint is the Lord Jesus. Love for God is not something sentimental or emotional— for a saint to love as God loves is the most practical thing imaginable.

“I have called you friends….” Our friendship with Jesus is based on the new life He created in us, which has no resemblance or attraction to our old life but only to the life of God. It is a life that is completely humble, pure, and devoted to God.

The Discipline of the Lord

My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him.
HEBREWS 12:5
It is very easy to grieve the Spirit of God; we do it by despising the discipline of the Lord, or by becoming discouraged when He rebukes us. If our experience of being set apart from sin and being made holy through the process of sanctification is still very shallow, we tend to mistake the reality of God for something else. And when the Spirit of God gives us a sense of warning or restraint, we are apt to say mistakenly, “Oh, that must be from the devil.”

“Do not quench the Spirit” (1 Thessalonians 5:19), and do not despise Him when He says to you, in effect, “Don’t be blind on this point anymore— you are not as far along spiritually as you thought you were. Until now I have not been able to reveal this to you, but I’m revealing it to you right now.” When the Lord disciplines you like that, let Him have His way with you. Allow Him to put you into a right-standing relationship before God.

“…nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him.” We begin to pout, become irritated with God, and then say, “Oh well, I can’t help it. I prayed and things didn’t turn out right anyway. So I’m simply going to give up on everything.” Just think what would happen if we acted like this in any other area of our lives!

Am I fully prepared to allow God to grip me by His power and do a work in me that is truly worthy of Himself? Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me— sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me. But He has to get me into the state of mind and spirit where I will allow Him to sanctify me completely, whatever the cost (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24).

YOUTH VISION INTERNATIONAL – SIERRA LEONE

A FAITHFUL TESTIMONY OF WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR ME DURING THIS LEADERSHIP TRAINING CONFERENCE AFTER TWENTY-EIGHT (28) YEARS

Date: 5th August, 2026

Venue: Hotel 5:10

Program: Leadership Training Conference

My name is Alimamy Kanu from Makeni, and I serve as an Assistant Coordinator. I am here to share my testimony of what God has done in my life.

In 1998, during the civil war, I lost one of my hands. On 2nd June, 1998, I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ. However, despite being a Christian for twenty-eight (28) years, I never truly forgave the person who cut off my hand. I attended church regularly, participated in many conferences and Christian programs, yet I was never convinced to forgive him. Whenever I wanted to do something that required both hands, I would remember what had happened, and the pain and bitterness would return.

Everything changed when I attended the Youth Vision International (YVI) Leadership Training Conference at Hotel 5:10. We arrived on Monday, 3rd August, 2026, and during the first day of teaching on Tuesday, 4th August, 2026, Mommy Sammye Rogers, led by the Holy Spirit, said that there were people carrying burdens in their hearts that were preventing them from growing. She explained that whenever they thought about those burdens, they became stuck.
Those words spoke directly to my heart. I knew God was speaking to me. I came forward and surrendered the burden I had carried for twenty-eight (28) years. Through God's grace, I chose to forgive the man who had wronged me.

During the prayer session, tears flowed from my eyes—not because of the bitterness I had held onto, but because of the overwhelming joy, peace, and freedom I received in Christ Jesus. For the first time in twenty-eight years, I experienced genuine forgiveness and complete freedom.

I sincerely thank Youth Vision International for organizing this life-changing Leadership Training Conference. The teachings and messages have transformed my life and helped me experience true freedom in Christ.

They have also equipped me to teach others about genuine forgiveness and the power of God's love.

I pray that these conferences and teachings will continue so that many more lives will be transformed, just as mine has been.

To God be all the glory!

Thank you.
