A CALL TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING - A REMINDER
Direct from the Master Himself.
"A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, [26] “If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. [27] And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple. [28]  “But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? [29] Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. [30] They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’ [31]  “Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him? [32] And if he can’t, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. [33] SO YOU CANNOT BECOME MY DISCIPLE WITHOUT GIVING UP EVERYTHING YOU OWN. [34]  “Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? (Luk.14.25-34.NLT)

-Christianity is not for the fainthearted.
-No midway measures. You have to run the race to the end.
-Flavourful NOT flavourless. You have to remain relevant to the end. Don't give up

When we look at the cost of discipleship, it is daunting and seemingly impossible to be Christ's followers. That is exactly why He sent us the Holy Spirit. The Christian journey is lighter and doable when the Holy Spirit is our guide.

THE WORD: “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future." (John.16.13.NLT)
