Discipleship
Jesus said: "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." (Luke 9:23).
Christianity is Not a flowery bed of easy, neither is it a picnic. It is a DAILY sacrificial life; for everyone to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling," (Philip. 2:12). To deny yourself is to count less all other good earthly things that would give you comfort - putting them secondary, but God first (Mat. 6:33).
It is spiritual warfare from the beginning up to the end. No retreat! It is a forward match on the forefront battle ground. This is an Army that sheds no blood therefore only strong believers in the Lord and in the power of His might are qualified to be therein.
The Army requires strong men and women who put on the whole armour of God; vigilant, their loins girted about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; taking the shield of faith, helmate of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Eph. 6: 10-18; 2 Cor. 10:3-5; 1 Pet. 5:8; James 4:7).
It is a constant fire burning in the heart for serving the Lord and making disciples for Him, regardless of the hills, valleys, rough and dusty roads of hardship and persecution!
The Half-way Christians, or half-hearted are disqualified in this spiritual Army!
Finally, discipleship is not simply membership, but being convinced, concerned and working upon God's Word. Your involvement, collaboration with the saints, fellowship and support the gospel work. Every Christian must be ready to minimize other things in life and focus on carrying their cross on daily basis and follow Jesus Christ (Heb. 12:1).
Amen.
