“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” (Luke 9:23).
Many Christians are living defeated lives because they aren’t willing to meet the requirements for a true follower of Christ. It takes self-denial, complete dedication and obedience. Some may feel they cannot surrender their will over to His because it’s too difficult. The lifestyle of a true follower of Christ is one of continuous action. It is bearing their cross daily. Some fall beneath the load because there is one or more requirement they cannot commit to.
For those willing to forsake all and follow Him, He gives strength and power to do His Will. God continues to call but sadly some lack the faith needed to answer when He does.
