DENY YOURSELF!

❤️ KEEP PRESSING ON

Fight the good fight! 👈

❤️ Don't let your self be discouraged. Remember, discouragement is your enemy. Discouragement is designed to defeat you.

❤️ Discern it. Wage war against it. Keep your eyes on the prize, Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of your faith!

It's all about JESUS....❤️

❤️ "and he died for all, that those who should live should live no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them and rose again "(2 Corinthians 5:15)

❤️ It's about laying down your life for a cause more greater than yourself, It requires Sacrifice. A denial of your self.

❤️ "Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For who ever desires to save his life will lose it, but who ever loses his life for my sake and the gospels will save it"(Mark 8:34-35)

👉 A daily life of picking up your cross of sacrifice. You will lose family, you will lose friends, Christian brothers and sisters will miss understand you, you will make many enemies. But the reward is eternal...

💙 It's not about what you gain in life that makes you happy. It's about who you become in the heart that makes you happy. Character, Character of the heart.

💙 Christ is a God of the heart. He is looking to recondition the condition of your heart. He wants to build character. He wants to conform you. Conformity takes time and can sometimes be a painful process...

💙 "For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son, that he might be the first born among many brethren "(Roman's 8:29)

💙 Conformity builds character. It's a painful cycle. So submit to the process.

💙 So Glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance, CHARACTER, and CHARACTER, hope"(Roman's 5:3-4)

💙 It's not what we have that makes us happy. It's who we become through Jesus Christ that makes us happy.

👉 So submit to the process.
