You will be ALONE if you follow Jesus

Do not expect friends and family to congratulate you the day that you decide to truly follow Jesus Christ, because when you truly follow Jesus and obey Him then you are ON YOUR OWN. You might not be ALONE, you might be among many people but nobody will be WITH YOU. You will be ON YOUR OWN. The only One that will be WITH YOU and who will never leave you nor forsake you is Jesus Christ.

Don't think that your church friends will be glad when you start following Jesus, they will reject you. Don't think that your pastor or your priest or your preacher will be glad, they will hate you and persecute you if you walk with Jesus. If you walk with Jesus you are ALONE even when you are in the crowd. Jesus will never leave you, He will never forsake you, He will always be with you to guide you and to teach you, to comfort you, to give you wisdom and to teach you His ways, to LEAD you to eternal life.

Jesus Christ Himself was a man of sorrows, He was rejected, persecuted and killed in the end but He AROSE and He is ALIVE, and He LIVES in those who truly follow Him and they are LIKE HIM also ALONE.

Are you willing to be ALONE with Jesus or do you treasure the acceptance and the company of people, friends, family, acquaintances? If you are not willing to be ALONE with Jesus then you are not worthy of Him and you will not follow Him. May Jesus bless you.

Aliens and Strangers

Those who are born again of the Spirit of God are aliens and strangers in this world. We are in this world but not OF this world. We do not fit into this world and we stick out like a sore thumb. If we are like the world then we are OF the world, but if we follow and obey Jesus Christ and if we have been transformed by the indwelling of His Spirit in us, then we are different and this world will reject us, will hate us and will persecute us.

Many believers claim to be born again but there is no difference between them and the rest of the world. They just believe in Jesus like the demons do, the demons also believe in Jesus BUT THE DEMONS TREMBLE because they know that their day of reckoning is coming. If we believe in Jesus that He is Lord and Master then we OBEY Him and we are transformed into His likeness and then it becomes true what Jesus said:”You will be hated by all men.”

If Jesus truly lives IN US them we will be aliens and strangers in this world because we will be of the Kingdom of God, our focus will be on Jesus and DOING what He tells us to do and BEING what He wants us to be.

Are we aliens and strangers in this world? If we are not LIKE Jesus, then we are not OF Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.
