Day 10 Fast of Daniel

Are you willing to pay this price?

"Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, ²⁶ “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. ²⁷ And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:25,27 NKJV








The Holy Spirit was given first to the disciples and until today He does not give his Spirit to those who do not want to be used by him.

When we look at the passage above, we see the price we must pay to have the Holy Spirit and become His disciples.

Let us look carefully at it:

1. Hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers and sisters. 
2. And his own life also.

It means your love for you family cannot be greater than your love for him, because when you decide to serve him, your family will very likely turn against you and if you love them more than him you will leave him for you do not want to displease your family.

He also emphasise that fact you have to hate your own life also, meaning your will or desires to please him.

Maybe you say I want the Holy Spirit but are you willing to pay the price?

Ethernet Christian or Wireless Christian?

Ethernet Christian or Wireless Christian?

Speaking in terms of internet connection, there's basically two ways of connecting your computer. By ethernet connection, which comes directly from the router or wirelessly (meaning without any wires attached).

Now I'm going to use this example to establish a parallel between two types of Christians!... Let's call them the "Ethernet Christians" and "Wireless Christians".

The "Ethernet Christians" are those whose connection is only in the church!... In the church they are mindful and thoughtful of God's ways and will, however their connection is limited to that space. After they leave the church, their connection stops, their prayer stops, the meditation in God's word stops, they stop to be in the spirit and go back to please their flesh, cravings and desires. Then because there's no connection, one will be without guidance, strength and will be lost.

The "Wireless Christians" are those that no matter where they are, in the church, work, home, etc... they are always connected with God! Not necessary through prayers, fasting or the like, but above all in Spirit, mindful and thoughtful on how to do God's will and to please him. They don't depend on a pastor, church, or 3rd parties, they are inspired, revived and renewed by their own connection with God.

The "Wireless Christians" know that in order to have a "strong signal" they need to be close to the "Router" otherwise they will become weak. We need to be close to the "Root" of strength, energy, positivity, guidance, inspiration, peace, wisdom, self-control, etc...

The Lord Jesus is called the Root of David (Revelation 5:5).

Whom have we been?

The "Ethernet Christian" or the "Wireless Christian"?
