FIRE UNITED : TAKE UP YOUR CROSS

LUKE 14 VS 27: NKJV
CHRIST JESUS speaking:And whosoever does not bear his cross & follow Me cannot be My disciple.
For which of you intending to build a tower, does not first sit down & count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it-lest, after he has laid the foundation, & is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying: this man began to build & was not able to finish.
Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first & consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, whilst the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation & asks for the conditions of peace.

So likewise,whosoever of you does forsake ALL that he has CANNOT be My disciple.

I know how harsh this all sounds. But remember what I had to say about taking a STAND. God is able to make all grace abound to you through Christ. When you are weak He is strong. We have to remember that we are here for a short time & all that we have ( & havent!!!) done will be put through the fire. The reason we have trials is to be disciplined & refined ( Hebrews 12). Our earthly dad loves us by instructing us in conduct & discipline, how much more so will our Righteous Holy Majestic Indescribable Father God.

All Honour Power & Glory Belong to Christ Jesus the author & finisher of our faith. Put your trust in Him. He IS faithful. Never changing. He WILL complete the good work in you that was started.
