My life Style

Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. . . Whoever loses their life for me will find it. — Matthew 16:24

Are you a disciple of Jesus? Yes! You may say, but there are much more than just words.

Being a disciple of Jesus is often about not doing what the world says we should do. We live in a culture of hyper-individualism and self-interest. “Do what is good for yourself first,” and “Look out only for yourself” the world says. But following Jesus means doing what he asks and not always what I want. It means relying on his strength and power, not my own. It means putting his mission and purpose above my own ambitions and goals. It means humbling myself and following Jesus, wherever he leads.

Discipleship is hard work. Even his disciples, who heard these teachings directly from Jesus, didn’t get it right all the time.

Discipleship requires that we listen closely for God to guide us. It means that we get to know his Word and what it means for our lives. It means fellowshipping with, and encouraging other believers, and discerning what is the will of God for our lives together. It also means that we stop putting ourselves first and instead love God with everything we have.

PRAYER

Father, help me deny myself and follow you in everything I do. In Jesus’ name. Amen
