When I surrender to God it allows Him to fulfill His will for me at the time He calls for it to be.  1 Peter 5:6 "Therefore humble yourselves under the might hand of God, that He might exalt you at the proper time".  The sooner I submit and surrender to God, the sooner the work will begin. Just going through the motions of being a Christian for goodness sake does not equal surrender.

Christ surrendered to His fathers will many years before God exalted Him. John 13:12-17 depicts how we are to serve. Surrendered! Christ did not come to earth to establish a kingdom for Himself and nor should we.
