One of the Most Important Resouces of a Strong Disciple

Your knees......be in prayer; fervently! One of the most important things that a disciple of Christ can do is pray for their walk, their friends and family, and that the Lord will use you to spead the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ to all you come in contact with.

Over Myself

I am over myself. I challenge you to get over yourself. Get over your desire to do what you want, and to be who you want to be. Surrender your life to Christ, FULLY! Do it today. Be serious with what is keeping you from being fully committed to Him, and get rid of it. Don't allow yourself to settle for loving yourself more than Him. Love Him, and get over yourself.

Joshua 22:5 But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and all your soul."

Mark 12:28-31 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

RUBBISH

Philippians 3:7-10 (NASB)

But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

Reflect this week on whether or not you can echo Paul’s sentiments. Do you really count all things as loss for the sake of Christ? Have you given up the notion that you can direct your life for the realization that the only thing that can be done with this life of LASTING value is to surrender to Christ unreservedly and follow Him with complete surrender. I suspect that we often cannot honestly say that we count all things as rubbish in comparison to an intimate, thriving relationship with the Creator of the universe. In word it is easy to commit in this way……Take the challenge to show this commitment in your life; in your actions; in your walk!

Short, Sweet, and Exhorting!

This post will be short and sweet:

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
- 1 Timothy 4:12


Reflect this week on the need to be as this verse admonishes, and pray that the Lord would help you to live upright and above reproach. You are not too young to do this. Step up! Live the life……and set the example.
