Deny yourself, take up your Cross and Follow Jesus

And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake, he is the one who will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God].
Luke 9:23‭-‬24 AMP

Praise God for the blessings of a brand new day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Jesus laid down the conditions required for the disciples to be able to work effectively and efficiently in the ministry.

Firstly, He called for self sacrifice(deny yourself of the pleasures of the world) to be able to follow Jesus Christ, set aside self interest and look at the bigger picture of serving the Lord selflessly.

Be ready and willing to go all out for Jesus! The willingness to endure any challenge that might come for the sake of the gospel reaching the utter most part of the world.

Pattern your life after Jesus Christ so that as the world sees you they are reading the gospel of Jesus Christ. Following Jesus’ life without any compromise so that your life will point others to Christ.

May Jesus be seen in our lives, may we be the carriers of the gospel, may we be instruments of God’s love and may the lost be saved through our obedience. God bless you. Amen.

Glory to God in the Highest, Peace to all Men

Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host (angelic army) praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest [heaven], And on earth peace among men with whom He is well-pleased.”
LUKE 2:13‭-‬14 AMP

Glory! Glory! Glory! What a joyful moment it is and shall be when we encounter Him face to face! The heavenly host choir rendering angelic tunes of glad tidings.

May the heavenly choir appear suddenly into our hearts and minds and minister continuous praises unto us. Songs to declare and confirm to us that Jesus is Lord of ALL and reigns supreme!

May the tunes they deposit in our hearts remain there perpetually so we can minister them to others for the Love of Christ to be shed abroad in the hearts of every man on earth. The Praise of the Almighty God should be on the by-ways and highways for All men and women to hear and join the chorus.

The peace of God will then come to ALL Men and Women and Children as Jesus Christ sits inside our hearts and grants us His peace that passes all understanding.

Are you part of the “well-pleased” of the Lord? You need to join now! Connect to Jesus Christ now!

May the glory of God shine and glow in and around any family that acknowledges Him as Lord and Saviour. May the joy be unspeakable! Glory to God in the Highest!

Be Ready for the Coming of the Son of God – Jesus Christ

You too, be continually ready; because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”
Luke 12:40 AMP

Glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and celebrate His goodness today.

In Luke 12 Jesus consciously addressed the importance of getting ready for His second coming and the need to gird our loins. His narratives included the rich fool who did not acknowledge God in his riches and died overnight.

He also specifically taught on the need to prepare for the Coming of the Son of God. The need to have God in your life and prioritise Him in your life in these times.

Keep the lamp burning, meaning you need to fuel it properly by leading a live that is pleasing unto the Lord since His coming will be unannounced.

May the Lord find us ready at His second coming! May our lamps be well lubricated and burning and illuminating the world for others to come to the Light of Jesus Christ. May we glow in the Lord!Amen.
