“Teacher I will follow you no matter where you go”!(Matthew 8:19)
We all can relate to the initial enthusiasm we feel as soon as we are exposed to truth, which is the Gospel. We instantly feel a sense of purpose and zeal.This over whelming passion motivates us to follow Christ-becoming Christlike-walking in his footprints.
As Christians it should be our desire to emulate the ministry that Christ established on earth.however, there is a great cost in following Christ.
“But Jesus said “ Foxes have dens to live in and birds have notes, But I, the Son of Man, Have no home of my own, not even a place to lay my head”(Matthew 8:20)
Are we prepared to make the sacrifices for the Gospel?
Its good that we are all passionate and willing to serve Christ and help in building His Kingdom. But there is a cost, a great cost that many of us will have to pay if we choose to wholeheartedly follow Christ and serve in ministry. One of the sacrifices that I believe the scriptures alludes to is sacrificing our earthly securities and placing ALL trust in God.
Are you willing to place your entire trust in God?
To trust God completely means we must have confidence in Him. Sometimes following Christ will test your faith and spiritual strength. But we must remain confident in who God says He is. We must know that our security is in Christ. He will sustain us, provide for us and satisfy us.
