Christian Personal Development: Season 1 Episode 9 - ( BEING A DISCIPLE )

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? Luke 9:23-25
Jesus is very clear what it takes to be a disciple. There are two steps. It starts with denial of ourselves. Denial of our flesh is difficult. We want the blessing of both the flesh and the spirit. We don’t want to deny ourselves anything because we are afraid we are going to miss something. This temporal mindset forces us to miss the long term benefits of discipleship.
The final step of discipleship is to pick up our cross and follow. Many people want to follow Christ without the cross being evident. The cross is the sign of our discipleship. It shows that we have died to the old life and we are now living the resurrected life in Jesus. The old has passed away and the new has taken over.
 Where we struggle is giving up the old life. We want our ticket to heaven and all the blessings that come with being a follower of Christ, but we don’t want to be labeled as a Christian. We want to live in our liberty and under grace but eschew any requirements towards holiness. 
Being a disciple means that we bear the marks of the cross from carrying it as we follow Christ on the path He is leading us on.
