A True Disciple Of God Counts The Cost.

 Praise the Lord! God has blessed us with another Sunday. Praying All is well on this Heavenly Journey.

Today, I was impressed to study about True Discipleship.  Amen.  Some call themselves Christian and others rather called themselves Disciples. Which we know there is a difference between  True Disciples and Christians. But today it's about the True Disciples.  When I saw what I was going to Study, I thought this  is a good topic Lord. Because I had a completely different topic. But God knows what his people need. I went to the Book of Luke Chapter 14:25-33. [ Please Read this complete  Chapter ]  The Holy Spirit may show and teach you another lesson. These verses 25-33 are speaking about "Leaving All To Follow Jesus" . And Counting the cost to become a True Disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ [ The Anointed One ]

As Jesus stop and begin to speak to the people. For he had became a popular name among the people.  People flocked around Him wherever He went. But there were some that wasn’t following Him for the right reasons. They were attracted to the miracles done. As Jesus directed His Meeting and spoke to those people who were following Him for selfish reasons , rituals or its just a thing to do . But there were some Followers that desired to follow Jesus in obedience , accepting to cost of discipleship. And in the same way, Jesus doesn't want You  and I to follow Him only when it is Convenient or Socially acceptable. He wants us to be His True Disciples as long as we are on earth and beyond. Regardless of how easy or difficult it might be. This is why we must count the cost of  being a True Disciple of Jesus Christ .

 

So there are some that may not understood fully or thought about counting the cost. Or thought , “that’s what we are”.  Or you may hear someone say, “ I’m Sold Out”?  But are you really? Look at  the following 4 questions and  ask yourself these questions. It will give some insight and we can locate ourselves spiritually.

* Do you love Jesus more than anyone or anything else in your life?

*Do you love Jesus and desire His Will for your life over your own?

*Are you willing to accept being talked about, ridicule and sacrificed for the cause of Christ?

* Will you commit to following Jesus, whether its popular or look upon as  to heavenly minded?

If you have carefully examined your heart, with these questions. Counted the cost and can truthfully answer Yes to these questions. Then you are on the way to Discipleship  and continually live your life as  His Disciple.  Which is a Wonderful Place in God. So from this Study. Jesus is not looking for half-hearted and  faithless  Followers. He wants our complete trust , loyalty and commitment . Amen.  God is Good. And We are sensitive to His instructions, Amen.  Well , Fellow Disciples. Until Our Next Study, Have a Blessed Sunday and upcoming Week.  Remember , “ A Disciple Must Count The Cost.”
