Topic: Dropping The Cross To Get The Crown
Text: 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.

Everyone who is actually ready to serve God must be ready to carry the cross. Unfortunately, most Christians of today are not ready for the cross, but the crown. Our Lord Jesus Christ never told us that following Him was going to be that easy. He said, "take your cross and follow me." As a believer, you must be ready to face challenges both spiritually and physically. You must be ready to make Jesus Christ and His will for your life the utmost priority, no matter how painful it may be. Matthew 16:24 KJV

You Automatically Forsake The Crown When You Drop The Cross: Jesus Christ will never force anyone to follow Him, that's why it is a conditional statement "IF" any man. You can decide to follow Him or not as a free moral agent. If you choose to follow Him, you must be ready to go by the rules and you must be ready to live your life in pleasing Him, as He (Jesus Christ ) lived His life while on earth pleasing His Father. Jesus Christ bore His cross all through His earthly life, and even died with it and resurrected in glory. Matthew 10:37 KJV

Many Are Not Ready For Jesus Christ As They Profess: Many Christians are not interested in Jesus Christ and His work; all they are looking for is His blessings. That is why many believers of today are more interested in miracles than they are to the true Word of God. Many don't care how the miracle comes, as long as they are happy for a season, even if they go to hell after then. So many Christians have joyfully sold their souls to the devil in the name of seeking miracles. Many people keep seeking for miracles, while they have left Christ the miracle-working God. The miracle from God comes through holiness and righteousness in total obedience to His will, but it's not so in today's church. Now the teaching is, "come as you are, remain as you are and be blessed as you are" in sin. Matthew 7:6 & Matthew 6:33 KJV

Don´t Give Up Your Crown For Any Reason: Beloved in Christ, nothing on earth is worth losing one's crown for. No pain is too much to bear for the sake of eternity in heaven. Are you going through humiliation for the sake of righteousness? Are you being hated, even by other believers because you have decided to come out of the mixed multitude and to follow the way of the cross? Maybe you are now being called names just because you have decided to go through the narrow way. Don't give up! Keep on moving, keep preaching the message of the cross. Beloved, those who went before you through the same narrow way as you are going through now, are reaping their fruits of holiness in heaven. Your joy will know no bounds when you get to your glorious destination. Those who are mocking you now will have their songs to sing in hellfire if they die in their iniquities. 2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV

Prayer: My heavenly Father, please have mercy on me in any way I have dropped my cross because of the things around me. Grant me the grace to go back to the first love I had for you when I first began the race. Give me the grace to never look back to the world, in Jesus Christ's mighty name. Amen.

Reflection: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Mark 8:36-37 KJV
