Sefl Denial

Posted on: 26-05-2012


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. (Matthew 16:24) SELF DENIAL, key to experience Christ in your life, how?

Answer is “And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. (Matthew 13:57)”. Today the problems with following JESUS CHRIST come more often from family members even though they are Christians. The believers struggle to survive among his own people, friends and family members. They become offended more often when you start checking them, they react to it and something embarrasses the believer in front of others. This is the stage of Believer, when acceptance of Christ becomes mandatory at every aspect and every other becomes secondary. It is the stage where presence of HOLY SPIRIT becomes 100% mandatory in everyday of Life, and the blanket of Holy Spirit is required to stay afloat in crisis of world around us. It is also called ‘Dying of Oneself’.

What is reward? The answer is “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. (Revelation 2:10)”

God bless you with courage, patience, faith and love of Christ thorough holy spirit in Jesus Christ Name.

Amen!
