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 16:25
It is decision time! We have a huge problem in the church because many Christians have not decided to deny themselves. They want to be saved and not live for Jesus. They want to go to heaven but they really are not willing to give up their career or lifestyle to do it. They will say, “I want to live for Jesus but I want to keep my nice car and my social status.” I have this same problem too. I want to do my own thing many times and not want Jesus would want. I must remember that this is not my life but God’s! There should be nothing standing in the way of Him. I must decide now to live for Him!
