“Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me’ Luke 11:23
The Cross of Christ demands a decision. Neutrality does not lead to triumph. To not deliberately choose is to make the choice.
When the Pharisees leveled their accusations at Jesus, He spelled it out very simply. There is no neutral ground. If we are not on His side, we are His enemy. If we are not helping do His work, we are actually harming His cause.
Many come to the Cross as a source of salvation. They embrace the convenience of redemption but reject the commitment that comes with it. They view their relationship with Jesus as a complementary aside – not the one priority of primary and utmost importance.
True commitment is not convenient. When our comfort is challenged, and we still choose the way of the Cross, it is in that place that our commitment is demonstrated. If anyone wants to follow Jesus, he must lay down his own life and ambitions – not convenient. That person must take up his cross and sacrifice his personal desires – not convenient. He must follow Jesus and choose His plan – that is commitment.
If we are committed to the Cross, we are committed to the Saviour Who died on that tree. We are committed to follow His Word that commissions us to do the work of our Father. There is no neutral ground.
LET’S PRAY.
As you lay down your life and commit to follow Him, may He strengthen you for every good work. Beloved! If you really looked at your past, you will find that you have faced other moments more severe than the one you’re facing right now — and God never failed you or let you down. In fact, He delivered you and turned those situations around! Don’t ever forget what God has already done for you. Let those memories stir you up and encourage you to face your present dilemma with faith. God will fight your hidden battles and grant you victory in every areas of your life.
He will stand by you and restore you in Jesus Mighty name. God shall empower you to overcome every challenges in your life in Jesus name, Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.
