Whoever Does Not Meet This Requirement Is Not A Disciple Of Jesus Christ by ochibuogwu5: 10:26pm On Jun 24, 2020 |
" *Whoever* does not carry his own cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow after Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me] cannot be My disciple." (Luke 14:27 amp) "If *anyone* comes to Me, and does not [c]hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life [in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God]—he cannot be My disciple." (Luke 14:26 amp) "So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not [carefully consider the cost and then for My sake] [d]give up all his own possessions." (Luke 14:33 amp) |

No one can become a follower of Jesus Christ simply by wishing for it. Jesus required that those who choose to follow Him do the work that He commands they first do. 1. Be prepared to abandon parents, brother, sister, children, spouse, in-laws, e.t.c. 2. Abandon all that you know/believe, have, and all that you are 3. Bear your own burden (not someone else's cross- not even your family's or children's)
4. Become a child again in your thinking and your actions 5. Be prepared to lose life(reputation, career, control, property, etc.) [/quote]
6. Desire above all to find and enter the Kingdom of God and also walk the path of righteousness, with God as your guide every step 7. Let go of all control you have over your life and circumstances, allowing God to take care of your every need

"But when *he came to his senses*, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger!" (Luke 15:17 NASB) What makes a sinner/unbeliever in the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified to come back to his/her senses ? GRACE found only in Jesus Christ Crucified. This is *the hunger for eternal-satisfaction/completeness* planted by God inside each human being which all the *temporary things (money, position, pleasures, wealth, fame e.t.c.)* can never satisfy until we return to God Our Father through belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified Thus "...God has put a desire in man only HIM can satisfy" (Ecclesiastes 1:11 amp) "We were created *inside Jesus Christ before the foundation of the world* for holiness and righteousness through love" (Ephesians 1:4) May the Holy Spirit strengthen our minds and hearts with His mercy and grace to share this gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified with every sincerity and sense of urgency it demands in this generation so that more human beings will be satisfied with the FULL-LIFE of the GOD-HEAD in this world and life after death in Jesus Name. Amen. Are you born-again in Christ Jesus Crucified ? Are you ready for the rapture of the Saints in Christ Jesus Crucified now ? Are you preparing your family and all the human beings that you encounter daily on this earthly existence for the rapture of the Saints in Christ Jesus Crucified which can take place any moment from now ? |
