Practical Discipleship

 

An Emoji Devotional For Thursday,13th of June 2023

Topic: Practical Discipleship 

Highlight: ‭
If you are ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory and in the glory of his Father and the holy angels.

Luke 9:26

Who is a disciple of Jesus? A dedicated follower of Jesus. Someone who is committed to take up his own cross and follow Jesus to the very end. Cf Luke 9:62

In Matthew 16:24 "Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."

Someone who is practical about his discipleship of Christ will be concerned  with the actual deed of being dedicated to Christian living practices rather with the theories or ideas.

According to our Highlighted verse in Luke 9:26; He or she or they are someone who is not ashamed of Christ and His message any day and anytime.

According to Matther 15:8 As a God who knows the heart and intentions of man (Proverbs 16:2) Jesus clearly states to us that "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."

We must be a practical disciple of our Lord by being dedicated follower with all of our heart and action. We must not be ashamed of the Gospel. Anywhere we are we must show the world who we are.

And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. Colossians 3:17

And do not forget that "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 15:14).

As a practical follower of Christ we should illuminate the world with spirit of light of God just like the good Samaritan in Luke 10:29-37. May God help us all.


Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus help me to be a practical disciple and carrier of your light in this world in Jesus name. Amen
