THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE

June 27, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE: IS The ANSWER Of God’s LOVED WORLD To The Sphere And Questions Of An EVIL WORLD, A WICKED WORLD And HATE WORLD!

Do you have QUESTIONS about the hate, evil, wickedness, murder, violent and more in our world today? There’s an ANSWER. The ANSWER is by ensuring in the midst of the evil and wickedness in the world, that God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus, becomes our fundamental and principle guidance in essence of living godly and doing life.

And living and walking by the Holy Spirit of love, is the only EMPOWERING way to manifest and demonstrate the characteristics of God’s Love in Christ Jesus – that is how God’s LOVED WORLD answers to an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD questions.

God’s love in Christ Jesus is characterised and summed in 1 Corinthians 13. It’s all possible by the working of the indwelling Spirit of love given to us – The Holy Spirit is shed and poured in our hearts – the subconscious spirit man to ensure that we triumph always all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Romans 5:5, 8; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Peter 1:2-4.

God’s kind of love, is the only way to do life and live through and above the knowledge of hate, selfishness, evil, wickedness and violence in the world that we see today. God’s love in Christ Jesus helps us to transcend and surpass the human based kind of love, which is of the SENSES – See, Smell, Feel, Taste And Hear. Ephesians 3:16-19.

Living by God’s LOVED WORLD setting, is the ANSWER to the SPHERE and QUESTIONS of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD.

And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of HIS LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] THE LOVE OF CHRIST which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]. 20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen” Ephesians 3:14-21 (Amplified).

Taking STOCK on God’s WORD In LOVE

June 27, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Taking STOCK on God’s WORD In LOVE: LOVING to DO God’s WORD in LOVE – And Not As A BURDEN – Makes All The Difference!

Do you always take stock on God’s WORD? and do it in LOVE? Yea. GREAT. However it’s summed up in this – LOVING to DO God’s WORD of commands in LOVE is a hallmark of doing the WORD effortlessly, selflessly and without sweat and guilt; more so, considering always that God’s WORD, is not IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD and DIFFICULT to practice when in a loving approach. For DOING God’s WORD in LOVE makes all the difference in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It must be noted that God is not a taskmaster, hence His commands are not an advice, they are genuine, faithful, true, sure, real and empowering to help and give leverage in living and doing life in all circumstances.

A WILLING and OBEDIENT hearts of LOVE towards God’s WORD, it’s all it takes and when not taken with DUTY hearts as if God is a TASKMASTER; and knowing that God have not TASKED you to tempt you with an obligation He knows it’s impossible for you and any to do; and He’s not out to see you fail, in order that He might punish you to suit Himself well and good.

Therefore, taking STOCK on God’s WORD in LOVE, and LOVING to DO God’s WORD in LOVE – should not be as a BURDEN – for that MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

An exceeding great JOY – Is experience in the love act of GIVING first to others before the you trinity called – I, Me and Myself, otherwise the me, me and me.

For love and loving is in the spirit of giving first, hence God so love that He gave first and the best, not leftovers. That’s how to kill the selfishness and selfish spirit in you and about you

Today, while it’s called today, what GOOD of your – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE – can you GIVE to make a huge and great difference in someone else’s life. That’s what love and loving is all about – someone else’s first before the you trinity: Give it a go today and even now.

For the fulness of JOY can be attributed as – JESUS, OTHERS and YOURSELF. Meaning someone else’s first (J – Jesus and O – Others) before You (Y – Yourself).

I do pray that you may experience the exceedingly great and fulness of God’s joy today as you express your acts of love and loving in the GIVING first spirit today.

Scriptural UNDERSTANDING For Wisdom

June 22, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Scriptural UNDERSTANDING For Wisdom: Get The UNDERSTANDING In ALL Your KNOWING!

People fail in life and godliness, not merely for not KNOWING, but for not UNDERSTANDING, the PURPOSE of a given to them. Hence, I have always said, and will always say:

“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”

Having an idea is good, UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. All because the assume rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal, without understanding what’s the take on and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty stricken took to knowledge know-how along with understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all changes and challenges in weather conditions to the set matter.

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day.

Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day. As the saying goes –

“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege. But not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd of looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant and wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the chief servant you become the lordship over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.

Being a Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL & FINANCE under your watch.

More so, a lack of understanding geared through set principle, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve meaningfully and be fulfilled in any driven cause. A lack of ALL NEEDED understanding makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.

WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s GOOD and PROFITABLE; it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

Loving God

June 17, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Loving God – Will Cause All Things To Work Together For Your GOOD!

Love is the working essence of all things for your good with God. If you want all things – positive or negative – to work for your good, then start loving God in spirit (hearts) and in truth (His Word).

Loving God is a deliberate conscious act from your hearts (human spirit) and not in your heads; knowing and understanding that God’s love is only poured or shared in human spirit (heart) by the Holy Spirit for a genuine expression of God’s love – Romans 5:5. This will cause all things to work for your good, as you can only make meaningful worship of God from your hearts of love towards Him.

Material instruments as Stethoscope, Scan, X-ray and more may be useful in human endeavours, yet can’t detect the human spirit, because the human spirit is eternal and not earthly. Simply put, the spirit of a man is the candle or lamp of the Lord, searching and watching all the inner depths of his heart, hence only can by all means worship God.

For Faith pleases God and Faith only functions by Love, and when Faith towards God is essence by Love, you’ve gotten hold of God for the release of His blessings upon you.

If you are desiring God’s BLESSEDNESS – just LOVE God; for ALL THINGS will work together for your GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

Today, start Loving God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED .” Romans 8:28-30.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

HAVING FAITH IN GOD

June 16, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HAVING FAITH IN GOD: Is Having FAITH In His WORD!

To have FAITH in God, is to have FAITH in His WORD. To have FAITH in His WORD is to first BELIEVE in His WORD. To BELIEVE in His WORD is to HEAR His WORD and ACT – CONCEIVE accordingly to His WORD. Therefore, FAITH IS ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE (CONCEIVE) OF THE HEARING OF GOD’S WORD.

Mountains can be levelled or made a plain, Valleys can be exalted or filled, Crooked Road can be made strait and Rough Places in life can be made smooth, when we BELIEVE on What God had said by His WORD about that matter, then ACT accordingly on it.

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO MAKE IT OR UNTIL YOU MAKE IT. There’s no room to fake or dilute or adulterate God’s WORD to make it. Just BELIEVE and act on it accordingly, then your miraculous needs will be answered effortless.

UNBELIEF is a killer disease to RECEIVING from God. I mean UNBELIEF to the WORD of God. BELIEVE is of the heart (human spirit) and not of the head (Five Senses). It’s heart knowledge and not head (senses) knowledge.

THREE REASONS TO CRAVE FOR THE WORD:

*** FAITH can only COME by the HEARING of the WORD of God, that is needed to plight in life; and to thrive meaningfully, purposefully and fulfilling – Romans 10:17; Amos 8:11-14; Galatians 3:2-6.

*** The WORD is of the TRINITY in the Heaven or Heavenly places where your expected blessing are located and comes to you by FAITH – 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-7, 14; Ephesians 1:3.

*** The Holy Angels, supposedly the ministering agents of God that are there to convey your blessings to you from the heavens, ONLY RESPONDS, that is, ATTENDS or HARKENS to the VOICE of God’s WORD and not to a mere tears or sentiments and emotions – Psalms 103:20, Hebrews 1:7, 14.

Know for sure and sure that FAITH is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE (CONCEIVE) as a CONSEQUENCE of the HEARING of God’s WORD.

Therefore, THINK. PONDER. MEDITATE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your UNBELIEF: for verily I say unto you, If ye have FAITH as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall SAY unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and NOTHING shall be IMPOSSIBLE unto you” Matthew 17:19-20.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Hebrews 11:22-24.

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in THY MOUTH, and in THY HEART: that is, the WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with THY MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH unto righteousness; AND WITH THE MOUTH confession is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

DISCIPLINE THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE

June 16, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DISCIPLINE THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE: It’s God’s LOVE PACT For His REDEEMED Children!

God LOVES You – you must ENDURE His DISCIPLINES when it SHOWS up – it’s for your OWN good.

Living and walking in God’s love also connotes, endorses, embraces and embodies the act of being DISCIPLINE. Meaning God will discipline any of His REDEEMED children whom He loves, in order to bring out His very best in them and to give them the living worth they crave. This is part of the LOVE PACT of God.

The reason being that the redemptive LIBERTY, that is, the FREEDOM in Christ Jesus is not an OCCASION for one to live and walk in the flesh or sin, instead, it’s to LIVE and WALK in GOD’S LOVE. Simply put, there’s nothing like or as ‘it doesn’t matter what I do, as long as God loves me’. NO, it does matter, because those that God LOVES, He DISCIPLINE them, except they are bastards or illegitimate children, which you are not.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For if we would JUDGE (EXAMINE) ourselves, we should not be JUDGED (EXAMINE). 32 But when we are JUDGED (EXAMINED), we are CHASTENED of the Lord, that we should not be CONDEMNED with the world” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (Emphasis Mine).

“For consider Him who ENDURED such HOSTILITY from sinners against Himself, lest you become WEARY and DISCOURAGED in your souls. 4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN? 8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had HUMAN fathers who CORRECTED us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more READILY be in SUBJECTION to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days CHASTENED us as seemed best to them, but He for our PROFIT, that we may be PARTAKERS of His holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING seems to be JOYFUL for the present, but PAINFUL; nevertheless, afterward it yields the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” Hebrews 12:3-11.

“STAND FAST therefore in the LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath MADE US FREE, and be not ENTANGLED again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE . . . For, brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an OCCASION to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye BITE and DEVOUR one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” Galatians 5:1, 13-18.

BEING NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

June 16, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL: LIVE OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE!

One day, I worked into a grocery shopping building to make purchases of some few items for the family. While going through the isle’s I cast my mind at a distance on a Christian Brother whom I know too well and coincidentally worship together in same multicultural Church. Not realising he has seen me earlier and for his own obvious reasons, was hiding behind one of the structural pillars that holds the grocery building. And unfortunately for him, I was not going to tolerate such attitude which is contrary to the Gospel of Christ, just as Apostle Paul took a measure of note on Apostle Peter for such behaviour as in the Holy Writ of Galatians 2:11-16 (1-21).

I walked up toward this Beloved Brother to exchange greetings. WHY MUST I HAVE TO DO THAT? Considering I could see he is hiding behind the pillars from identifying with me as one ever known in public place while in Church gathering meetings he pretends we are same in a building with hugs and hand shakes. I wanted him to know that in the Kingdom of God and of His Christ Jesus, who is the head of His Church, that there is no Black or White Christian’s or Christianity. There is no Jew not Greek, male or female and such like. For God is a Spirit and those that worthily WORSHIP and acceptably SERVE Him, does it in SPIRIT and TRUTH and not in colours of the skin, race, gender, status and more. John 4:19-24.

Meaning, in the REALM of the Spirit worship and services of God in Christ Jesus, neither of his intent to hide away from me should ever exist because of the colour of the skin. His UNDERSTANDING in that moment indicates that within the Church building we could greet and hug as brethren, but beyond that, the Gospel is not in operation to relate as brethren.

When I met him, I shocked hand and exchange greetings asking him of his family and such like to break that misnomer circus that contradict the GOSPEL of Christ Jesus. Being hopeful that he KNOWS and understands that what he did was unnecessary for him and me before the world that needs the gospel today and right now. (Romans 3:28-30; Romans 9:23-25; Galatians 3:26-29; Galatians 5:6, 13-18 etc).

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK: for the SAME Lord OVER ALL is rich unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13.

On the contrary, there are many today, whose Gospel of Christ Jesus only exist within the Church building. They are ASHAMED of being noted in their place of work or doing life that they are Christians and followers of Jesus Christ. They bury their head in the sand as the Ostrich, not necessarily because they are being questioned, they see it as being antisocial in behaviour for them to take a stand in Christ Jesus stead in public domain; but will tolerate someone misbehaviour and indecent gesture about them. HOW COMFORTABLE AND COOL IS THAT! That it is okay for you to accommodate indecent behaviour without question about you, and can’t say to such with the attitude, this is unwelcome in my world of doing life, just because you don’t want to be labelled a fanatics, religious bigots or any such like name they choose to call you in that environment. Forgetting that Jesus Christ was called numerous names in His humanity, while on the PATH to fulfil PURPOSE – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”, which brought our salvation in His redemption did and deed.

Are you ASHAMED of the GOSPEL? Are you ASHAMED to TESTIFY to others of your FAITH when it matters? How many times have you seen those we love dearly and care about passed on without Christ Jesus born in their hearts towards God in Christ Jesus. How comfortable are you then watching opportunities slips away of sharing the Gospel truth to a friend or colleague or family member of the goodness of your God in Christ Jesus stead.

HELL is real and HEAVEN is real, knowingly or unknowingly. The Gospel is not about being religious or coming into the building called Church or the Church. It’s the POWER of God for human salvation and liberation; and it’s irrespective of colour, race, status, tongue and such like as it’s written:

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, AND TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, AND NATION; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

Therefore, take a look INWARD and ask yourself if you are a promoter of the Gospel of Christ Jesus causes or ashamed of being a part of him in the first place. And why watch your love one’s and those you dearly care about ends in life without Christ Jesus, because the GOSPEL of Christ wasn’t made known to their reach.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels” Mark 8:35-38.

“So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:15-17.

If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s. 8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: 9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters” 2 Corinthians 10:7-9.

“Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. 15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him” 2 Timothy 7:13-15.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8 Be Not Thou Therefore Ashamed OF THE TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began” 2 Timothy 1:7-9.

“Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that NEEDETH NOT TO BE ASHAMED, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness” 2 Timothy 2:14-16.

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 and patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” Romans 5:1-5.

“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. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God” Luke 9:23-27.
