Surrender My Will – Jane Eve Jacobs
“Surrender my will” was inspired by a powerful message of the Cross that was preached one Sunday morning early this year 2024.
I believe meditating on the word of God in the book of John 17:6-19 gave me the conviction to say Emoghene, my native name just give God everything about you to manifest His glory in your life as you have done it your own way this far.. John 17: 6-19 reads “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You.
Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.” I have to do the work of Him that has called me while it is day for night comes when no man can work.

Jane Evelyn Jacobs, also known as Jane Eve Jacobs, is an ardent worshipper, singer-songwriter, lover of Jesus, and servant of the Most High God. She is happily married to a wonderful and humble husband and their marriage is blessed with 3 beautiful children. She works in the Housing industry with an intensive housing management background. She is also a devoted member of the New Wine Church in Woolwich, London.Her Story
Her passion for the things of God is not accidental. She was largely influenced by her family and friends. Growing up in her household as a child, being the second born amongst five siblings, her father of blessed memory would go through some of his favorite songs with her and would make her and her siblings sing along with him.Jane’s passion for music was first birthed in the local Catholic Church choir at the tender age of ten. However, her journey to Christ was rather unusual. Initially, she rejected the invitation to attend a church crusade in 1995 from her niece-in-law and had to ask her husband to go instead and represent the both of them.
Meanwhile, she had a can of lager in one hand in her living room when the beer suddenly became tasteless. This was what compelled Jane to pour the rest down the sink. In that instance, she started to think of the direction to get to the church to meet her husband and his niece at Old Kent Road. This was Her turning point to Christ and the rest, one could say, is history.
After Jane rededicated her life to Christ in 2001, she developed a burden to see God’s Kingdom increase and would often share God’s love to people at every opportunity. With this hunger, she attended a mission trip with her then Pastor to Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria, serving the underprivileged and widows.
During this time, she served as a church worker cleaning the sanctuary and toilets before joining the choir and even prayed for viewers who would join the television broadcasts.
She expressed an interest in songwriting to her former Pastor in 2007 and received a blessing to march onwards with this gift. She went on to release her first album titled, ‘King of kings’ in 2010. In 2014, she released her second album titled “I Believe Your Word”, and in 2015, She released a single track titled “Let Your Kingdom Come”.
