THEME:
Take Your Cross And Follow Me. II.
MEMORY VERSE:
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.”
1 Peter 3:18.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Mark 8:37-38.
“Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we saw that in order to carry our cross and follow Jesus, it is pertinent that, we deny ourselves many unnecessary things that could make the Cross unbearable and tiresome while following. We must do away with self gratification, we must do well to completely submit ourselves to Jesus Lordship over lives and most importantly, we must continually and day by day carry our cross.
Meanwhile, to carry our cross and follow Jesus must be with joy and we must not be ashamed of Jesus’ Cross. Jesus said,” _Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words…of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed…”_ (Mark 8:38) Beloved, carrying and following Jesus bring you to the place, where you will be ready to receive the gifts and the grace of God.”
Furthermore, you need to obey him in all things. The truth of the matter is, Christianity is all about living like Jesus, keeping God’s instruction and trusting Him for grace and the power to do His will without looking back.
In conclusion, you must keep denying flesh or self, by taking up your cross and following Jesus step everyday, for in doing this, you and I will be partaker of the king’s business in God’s kingdom. May you not loose focus, as you daily carry your cross in righteousness in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
I will be focus and ready at all times, for the Master’s use.
PRAYER POINT:
Father in heaven, you have given us the greatest gift of Your son, Jesus Christ. Help me Lord with Grace, to carry my Cross and follow You day by day in Jesus name. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
