Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:25-27, 33 NKJV

Your earnest desire, passion and zeal to walk intimately with Christ and to serve Him are not enough. You must also be willing and ready to give up your cherished desire, ambition, dream and relationships. Except that happens, you cannot be fully committed to Jesus and follow Him wholeheartedly.

Know this also, whatever prevents you from following Jesus is not worth holding onto and there is nothing this world offers you that is worth comparing with the Inheritance Jesus has kept for you. May the Lord help you to esteem the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in this world. Good and do have a glorious worship experience.

Your brother,
