DISCIPLESHIP

Discipleship is costly. Following Jesus is costly. The main cost is to your self. The self that rules your life will need to surrender. This means surrendering your identity. Jesus said in Luke 14:33 that we have to leave all and follow Him. The call is the same today as it was then. It is 100% and nothing less. You cannot do it in your own strength. You will find that your mind will say yes but your heart will say no. It has to be a heart decision. Everything to do with the walk of faith is a heart decision. The mind will follow the heart and not the other way round. For too long you have tried to walk by faith by following your mind. Your mind reasons, your heart intuits. In the core of your being it is your heart that decides. Heart decisions are always what matters. When troubles come your mind will waver but your heart will remain steady for it is fixed on eternal values and not on circumstances. Jesus always addressed heart issues not mind issues. The opinions of man all revolve around the issues of reason. Some reasons are valid and true but do not produce life. God's word produces life for it changes the heart and heals. When there is real heart change then the mind is renewed and transformation occurs. Many have failed in their walk because they have tried to walk by reason rather then by faith. So today walk by faith and not by sight.
