The weekend message for the beloved Children of God - Follow Me !

Jesus tells his disciples to follow Him. Jesus didn’t recruit members for an organization; he invited people to follow him. The risen Jesus issues the same invitation to us today. Read Luke 9:23, And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Read that again, it says daily. The question is, who are you following? The first thing that we need is understanding, we need to have discernment to know the spirit by the spirit before we follow anyone. If the spirit is not of God don't follow. How do we know if the spirit is of God or not? First, if the words of the person don't line-up with the word of God, that is not God's spirit. Second, if the person is not seeking God's will, but seeking the ways of the world, that's not God's spirit. And if the person is not seeking the Kingdom of God first, don't follow. We need to put first things first in our lives, we need to renew our minds.The Spirit of Jesus was to do the will of the Father in Heaven. Read Romans 12:2, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The Apostle John issues a similar warning, to us. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul or forfeit his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Instead of these weighty words, which we find in Mark 8:36, it is expressed in Luke 9:25 "If he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away," or better, "If he gain the whole world, and destroy or forfeit himself." People of God, take up your cross and follow Him (Jesus). Heavenly Father, let us learn to seek your face daily. For, in this world we will have tribulation. All we need to do is trust God's word. For it is written in James 1:11-12, For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
