You got to love Jesus more than yourself or your family…

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple...Luke 14:26-33.

 

Jesus said He wants to be first in your heart nor just in it. We have to forsake anything that will lead us away from Jesus and His will. We may have a heavy burden to bear in order to follow Jesus and His teachings but we are to take our burden and follow Jesus. Jesus said we have to bear our cross, or the burden it takes to follow Him. How many Americans are there where there are people asking you to follow Jesus in your family? How many other nations lose their family if they follow Jesus? We are truly blessed here in America. Will you forsake or renounce everyone and everything to follow Jesus…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father we renounce everyone and everything in order to be completely dedicated to You and Your Only Son Jesus please meet our soul’s deepest needs and grant us repentance unto salvation that we may change and please You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
