A Lifestyle Bigger Than Yourself, it Keeps You Blessed and Helps Others

‭The Lord Himself has said, if any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself, disowning his own interest, and take up his own cross daily and follow Jesus. In doing so we enter into God’s program of Kingdom living with glorious purpose and destiny. It is a lifestyle not offered to people by this world. It goes against all we’ve been raised to believe as if it’s the only way to live life. If you truly want to be the Lord’s disciple and follow his example, there’s work to be done. Taking up your cross for Jesus means dealing with the persecution that goes along with it. People will try and get you to live the same old way you have been, beneath your true potential. They don’t know God’s way and don’t care to know it. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21), on the earth carrying the answers to life’s problems in these earthen vessels (bodies) of ours because we serve the Lord God Almighty. We must lose our lives for the Lord’s sake, or in other words relinquishing our own will towards our personal interest of how we think things should go. In doing so you will be preserving your life, and saving it from the penalty of eternal death. Lose your life today and gain eternal life later when it counts most. We are all destined to die, and every person must determine their final destination before leaving earth. Without Jesus in your life today, don’t look for hope after you transition, as the transition window will be closed for eternal life. If you are saved, you have eternal life now, but take the next step and lose your life.
