Make DISCIPLES OF JESUS not friends

)

The world wants to make friends with other people, with influential people. Christians like to use the names of famous name preachers, they want to be attached to and associate with famous names and great people. But that is not what Jesus called us for. He commanded us to make disciples of HIMSELF, not to make friends and influence people and build churches. It is all about Jesus and the Kingdom of God, about knowing Jesus and following Him, getting our wisdom and guidance from Him.

If we follow Jesus we will be persecuted, rejected, excluded from worldly people and we have to cherish HIS PRESENCE, His acceptance and His approval more than anything else. If you follow Jesus Christ you will often be alone but you will be with Jesus Christ. It is not about friends and being accepted by others. It is about our relationship with Jesus Christ and being pleasing to HIM.

May Jesus bless you.

Hold on

When the storms of life come at you and everything around you falls to pieces then there is someone who can help you and that is Jesus Christ. He is the only one who is able to help you in any situation. He will never leave you, He will never forsake you, He will never let you down. Following Jesus is a lonely road because very few will follow Jesus with you but if you follow Jesus you will never be alone, you will never be in despair because Jesus will be with you to carry you through. You must just not leave Jesus. He will not leave you but you have to hang on to Him every day until the very end. Hang on to Jesus and He will see you through! May Jesus bless you.
