Your Cross
LIVING SCRIPTURE
Luke 9:23 KJV
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
The christian race needs total concentration and each believer must take their track. No one can run your race for you neither can they carry your cross for you. Your Cross is your portion in the journey of life and only true christians finish well with theirs. Our Lord Jesus Christ taught the people and as many that will believe in Him the importance of the cross. He puts it as a choice before us; if any man will follow me, let him deny the flesh (carnal desires and strong lust) and take his or her portion of assignments and tasks everyday and follow in (Christ's) footsteps.
Your Cross as a believer requires determination, because a little distraction can lead to failure and losing direction. Demas was serving under Apostle Paul but after a while, he went astray - 2 Timothy 4:10 KJV - For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. Demas left his cross of service as many children of God are doing today. There's a reward for those who finish well, this shows those who truly accept the will of God the Father. And also judgement for those who reject the cross (will) of the Father.
When you carry your cross, you are following the perfect will of God. But any man that refuses to take their cross or gives up along the way, such man has nothing to submit to the LORD on that final day. It is important to take up your cross, know the will of God for your life and follow Jesus everyday, that's how to scale through and find strength to finish well. Jesus took His cross - that contained the weight of the world and by so doing we have access to the grace and glory of God.
PRAYER CAPSULE
• Heavenly Father I need your grace and mercy, please help me to discover my cross in Jesus name
• O LORD I am determined to take up my cross and follow you everyday of my life.
• I shall not be distracted by the way and I shall not drop my cross in Jesus name.
• I shall not derail from the path of righteousness in Jesus name.
WORSHIP - One Day At A Time
I'm only human, I'm just a woman.
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway, I have to climb.
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.
Chorus:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time.
Do you remember, when you walked among men?
Well Jesus you know if you're looking below
It's worse now, than then.
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.
(Chorus)
