Following Christ

How would you follow Christ? There is only one way-----denial yourself, take up your cross and follow the Lord.

I was speaking at BRGH Penang on 31/10/2010. I specially emphasised on following Christ in God's way----self denial, take up our cross and follow Christ.

Unless we are prepared to do so, we can annot expect any breakthrough in our spiritual life. More so, we cannot expect spiritual revival among the churches.

Self denial---- is to allow Christ be the Lord of our life. Emptying our self, and be humble before God. It has the sense of obedience to God and to walk in God's will.

Take up the cross --- to suffer and to die for preaching and standing up for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Willing to be humiliated and be thought as a fool by the world for the gospel sake. It is a willingness to minister to others in the love of God.

The church needs to stand up again for the gospel of Jesus Christ. More young people must be willing to offer themselves for the ministry----- to reachout to the lost for the Lord. More Christians must be willing to live a simpler lifestyle and to pastor and equip the saints of the Lord.

Pray for revival to come into our lives.Amen.
