From Believers to Disciples
Partial obedience is the same thing as absolute disobedience and God won’t use a disobedient disciple. With God, it’s a total surrender of our will to His will, or it’s no surrender at all.
A soldier in the army doesn’t decide where he wants to go or what he wants to do. He is given orders that must be obeyed because those in command over him have a greater picture of where he is needed. A soldier on the battlefield doesn’t know whether he is winning the battle or losing it most of the time. All he knows is that he must do all he can to survive until the outcome is decided. It’s the commander who can see the big picture who knows what is happening and who is really winning and losing. Thank God that we serve a Savior who never fails, who has never lost a battle and who is victorious over death, hell and the grave, and is alive forever more!
Disciples are committed. Disciples place God’s will above their own. Disciples place God’s plans above their own. Disciples give up their wants to take up the cross of Jesus. Disciples are servants who follow Jesus every second of their lives. Disciples obey God’s calling on their lives.
It’s a new year. What are our priorities? Is Jesus Number One? Disciples are committed to follow Jesus, serve Him from grateful hearts and work tirelessly to bring other disciples home.
Partial obedience is the same thing as absolute disobedience and God won’t use a disobedient disciple. Jesus is calling … your answer is …
