The Living Word of God - Follow Me ( Jesus )!

Good morning,
To the beloved Children of God
The Living Word of God - Follow Me ( Jesus )!

We have an invitation from God, to follow Him. Understand, Jesus is speaking in 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. To follow Jesus Christ, we must learn of Him by reading the word of God first. We must deny ourselves from the worldly desires daily. We must take up our cross and follow Him. Let us understand like Paul, we must die daily in this journey. Speak over yourselves, for God I live and for God I die ! We must be devoted disciples at all cost. Read Luke 18:21- 22, And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. Now get understanding of the verses. Jesus is talking with a rich (foolish) young man. A wealthy Pharisee, who believed he kept all the commandments. He had answered Jesus in the true spirit of a Pharisee trained to love things. Now Jesus will test your faith sometimes. Jesus, tells him to sell everything, give to the poor and Come follow Me. The young man struggle between God and worldly gain. Jesus tells Him, it's hard for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God. We're still in Luke 18:23-25, And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus is speaking,Wow ! The word of God is a divine mandate for us to follow. Jesus is calling you today, "Come Follow Me"!  For it's in Matthew 16:24,Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.What prevents you from following Jesus wholeheartedly__? Meditate on the question, focus and quiet your mind. Now, God has started a great work in you, for His glory. " Come Follow Me!" Read Mark 1:17, And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. Awake from sleep walking in the dark, start running your race in the light. The living word in John 8:12, Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Now get up and put on the full armor of god and move forward in this day. Because, everyone isn't of God, but you're ready spiritual for anything today. For it is written in Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Heavenly Father, your beloved children seek your face early today. We are your elect disciples, lead and guide us on the right path. We are your servants looking to please you Lord. We are helping to fulfill the great commission giving to us. For it is written in Matthew 9 :37-38, Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !
