Love God has for us.
Love God has for us.
JELLO!
This bloggie is been quite dead since Daphne’s busy with her SPM.
God bless ya sis ! :D Will pray for you.
So I came up with this , guys . Take some initiative to read ;
After all , ask yourself.
Which Jesus are You Following ?

Then he said to them all :
Then he said to them all :
“ If anyone would come after me , he must deny himself and
take up his cross daily and follow me. “ Luke 9:23

Everybody loves a winner,
But when you lose , you lose alone.
But when you lose , you lose alone.
- Linda Ronstadt-

Which Jesus are you following ?
the One who exorcised demons , healed the sick, calmed the waves , raised the dead and fed 5000? Petew saw all that Jesus did and he went out and did the same. When Jesus Christ asked him who Peter thought He was , the answer came confidently : ‘The Christ of God’ (v20).
I am sure you agree with Peter’s answer.
I am sure you agree with Peter’s answer.
~> But you will not get full marks for that answer , not yet anyway. Because Jesus Christ told Peter : 'Don’t tell anyone ‘. Why? Because everybody loves a winner. Everybody wans to believe in Jesus Christ the winner , the healer , the ghost buster , the super bread man , the conqueror of winds . And Jesus did not want that. He wasn’t going to be the average man’s idea of a winner. He was going to suffer and be rejected. He was going to die.
~> Only after He died and he was risen was when Peter was to tell other people that Jesus is the Christ.Because Jesus that we are to follow is the One who was also unpopular. Christ suffered , died undeservedly, and finally rose from the dead (v22).If this is the Jesus that we are to follow then we are not to be surprised at these words : ‘If anyone would come after me , he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me’. Jesus gave up his rights. We are to give up ours. We must be prepared to suffer unjustly. And we must do it everyday. ( v32)
We may have to do it ALONE.
But always remember , He is with you.
Which Jesus are you following ?
Are you following the one that truly suffered ?

-Give me grace that I might die to selfishness daily
and accept whatever suffering You send my way.
Help me do it even if I have to do it alone-

- Before you sleep , lie on your bed and THINK.
Reflect on the moments you think you've suffered for Christ.
Or did you even suffer ? It's not too late.
It's time you start doing something. Reach out to people.
Loads of love ,
