The reality of serving Christ!

A disciple is not greater than His Master!

The Body of Christ has no idea what it means to be a disciple of Christ. Most believers live in the definition given out by religion.

Religion paints a pretty picture of the outcome for those who walk with Jesus. Moses, the OT prophets and Paul would strongly disagree as evidenced by their lives.

Jesus was not wealthy. He was despised by many and spent a great deal of His time confronting the religious leaders. He died as a common criminal.

This inaccurate characterization of a Christian starts at the time a believer makes a decision for Jesus. You are not joining a church or required to participate in religious activities. And, you are not asked to live under laws.

To become a disciple you agree to live for Jesus above all else and seek His will for your life. The believer walks by faith believing in the promises of God and not what he sees with his eyes.

The landscape of your ministry will be determined by your loyalty and obedience to Jesus. If you are serious about following God like the prophets and disciples you are guaranteed to have a tumultuous life.

The disciple has no control over his life. He operates on the model of the Cross. God can take away all your possessions, make you sick, or isolate you in the desert. He will test you in many different ways and make promises that don’t come into reality. He can fill your life with sorrows and heartache.

The great leaders for Jesus are sacrificial men and women emulating “Not my will but Yours be done”. They are powerfully anointed ministers and perform awesome miracles.

If you want to abide in the reality of the Living Christ you must obey the voice of Jesus regardless of the cost or lack of logic. This is how Abraham became the Father of many nations.
