The 7 Truths of Commitment

There comes a moment in every believer’s life where the initial passion you have in your faith walk runs dry and the excitement wears off, and what you’re left with is a choice: commit, or quit. Commitment is not always glamorous or comfortable, but it is the way we endure to the end as followers of Christ.

Apostle Mike Signorelli preached a powerful message on commitment that cuts deep into the heart of every excuse, every delay, every cycle of inconsistency. He said, “If you change your level of commitment, you change everything else about your life.”

Commitment Changes Everything

Your spiritual breakthrough, your marriage, your financial stability, your mental clarity—they’re not waiting on a better season. They’re waiting on your commitment. Not halfway. Not when you feel like it. Not when it's convenient. But 100% devotion.

Commitment is the catalyst, the spark that ignites and reignites the passion. “Thank God Jesus was fully committed to the cross,” Apostle Mike said. “Because that’s the reason we have resurrection power, deliverance, freedom, and healing.”

No commitment, no cross, no cross, no victory. If we’re honest, most of us struggle, not because God didn’t show up, but because we didn’t stay committed. We’ve been inconsistent in prayer, inconsistent in relationships, inconsistent with our finances, and that is why nothing changes.

The good news is that the Word of God gives us a model of commitment through a man in scripture whose wholehearted life changed the fate of the Israelites forever. In Joshua 14, Caleb, at the age of 40, stood with courage when others only saw a problem. The other spies saw giants, but Caleb saw grasshoppers and encouraged the Israelites to continue on to the promised land as God promised. He did not move in fear, he moved in Faith.

Then, at 85 years old, he declared: “I am still as strong today as I was when Moses first sent me… now give me my mountain!”

He was not just living on nostalgia; he was committed to the end even at an old age.

Caleb said, “I wholly followed the Lord my God.” He had 100% devotion, and because of that, Caleb didn’t just get land, he received an inheritance for his children. Commitment multiplies. It blesses generations.

In contrast, we see that Moses did not have the same whole-hearted faith, which caused his commitment to waver. He disobeyed when it counted most, and as a result, he saw the Promised Land from afar, but never entered it.

“Canaan isn’t just a place—it’s a condition of your heart,” Apostle Mike said, encouraging believers to examine their hearts. You can get the house, the spouse, the status, and still not have peace. Because peace doesn’t come from what you get, it comes from how you commit to what you get.

7 Truths of Commitment

Apostle Mike provided a roadmap to the radical transformation that comes as a result of a Christian's commitment.

1. Commitment Increases Your Capacity
   When you say yes completely, there’s something about that that increases your capacity. When you commit to your spouse, you show up for date night, not because it’s romantic, but because it’s right. And when you commit to church, your ability to lead, serve, and influence expands. Commitment stretches us for greatness.

2. Commitment Demands Attention
   The most committed people are the ones who win gold medals. Talent starts the race, but it is commitment that finishes it. Passion will cause you to start it, but commitment will cause you to master it. God is calling believers past passion. If He’s called us to ministry, marriage, or motherhood, then our job is to master those things.

3. Commitment Generates Credibility
   Nobody believes the person who says they’re going to do something but then never does it. In the spiritual realm, credibility comes from consistency. Demons likewise don’t respect talkers. They respect those who outlast the enemy.

4. Commitment Makes Way for God’s Promises
   There are some things that God won’t trust us with until we are committed. The blessings many are waiting for are usually dependent on their “yes.”

5. Commitment Is a Choice That Produces a Feeling
   You don’t commit because you feel like it. You commit because God revealed it, and then the feelings come. If you only parent when you feel like it or pray when you feel inspired, then the foundation of what we are trying to do will crack. Commitment is what births the emotion; it is not the other way around.

6. Commitment Gives You Access that Others Never Get
   Caleb walked into the Promised Land. Moses didn’t. Commitment gives you the ability to see what others will never get to see, like Caleb did. At V1 Church, thousands flooded Times Square for an outreach event not because of hype, but because of Apostle Mike's commitment to honor what He knew God had told him to do.

7. Commitment Reveals the Depth of Your Conviction
   The deeper your conviction is about something, the deeper your commitment.

“The people most committed smell like firewood, they’ve been burning for the will of God,” Apostle Mike noted.

The Committed Ones Are Rising

The spirit of Caleb still lives today in God’s people. Apostle Mike referenced William Farel, a firebrand reformer who confronted John Calvin for trying to avoid ministry. Farel told him:

“God will surely curse your private studies if you do not participate in the work of shepherding and leading people.” This shook Calvin into his true purpose. There is no revival without reformers. There is no breakthrough without commitment to do God’s will, come what may.

If you want to change your city, your family, your marriage—your job is to commit.

Pray this prayer:

Heavenly Father, I truly commit to Your will and Your way.
I will do what You’ve called me to do.
I will say what You’ve called me to say.
Heavenly Father, I fully commit now, in Jesus' name. Amen.

We must make a choice today to die to ourselves and rise up in the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit. That will cause us to endure. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. Commitment is costly, but the cost of inconsistency is higher!
