Topic: Be A Disciple.
Memory Verse: Luke 14:28. So don’t follow me without considering what it will cost you. For who would construct a house before first sitting down to estimate the cost to complete it?
Bible Reading: Luke 14:25-27. TPT. Key Verse: v26.
As massive crowds followed Jesus, he turned to them and said, “When you follow me as my disciple, you must put aside your father, your mother, your wife, your sisters, your brothers—yes, you will even seem as though you hate your own life. This is the price you’ll pay to be considered one of my followers. And anyone who comes to me must be willing to share my cross and experience it as his own, or he cannot be considered to be my disciple.
One of the challenges of modern day Christianity is that we have crowds of church goers and members around the world, but very few disciples or followers of Christ. When men fill the pew without having genuine encounter with the master that can change the course or direction of their lives, they remain at the level of spectators. Such people lack the conviction that produces genuine commitment to the master, rather their only interest for being there is what they intend to benefit from him because anyone who meets him gets their problems solved, even without any intentions to be part of his moves. ”Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
John 6:26-27 NIV.
“I am the true Bread of Life. Your ancestors ate manna in the desert and died. But standing here before you is the true Bread that comes out of heaven, and when you eat this Bread you will never die. I alone am this living Bread that has come to you from heaven. Eat this Bread and you will live forever. The living Bread I give you is my body, which I will offer as a sacrifice so that all may live.” John 6:48-51. After Jesus fed about five thousand men plus women and children around the lake around the lake of Tiberias, the people were very pleased with him and his ministry. They began to follow hard after him because of food and not the miracles or the teaching of the word of life that was with him.
Today, Jesus Christ is looking for men who wants to know him by his word. Men who desires to be like himself. Men who will run after him, not only to receive things the eyes can see that makes life good, but men who desires life changing encounters with him. Such encounters does interrupt the course of the lives of men as to redirect them to fulfil divine purpose. This type of experience will cost a man some valued relationships and associations that may not agree with God’s revealed plan for their lives. That is when men die to themselves, people and things around them so that they can live for Jesus Christ, their master and new found love. Apostle Paul is a very good example of such men. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways. For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.” Matthew 16:24-25.
Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for loving me in the first place and dying to save me. I want to love you from the depths of my heart. I want to follow you the rest of my life. Help me by your Spirit to pay every needed price for a life of fellowship with you. Make me one you can depend on to achieve your goals in my generation in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
